Need for Speed: Shift hat im XBoxUser.de Testlabor einen guten Eindruck hinterlassen. Trotzdem fühlt man sich doch wohler, wenn man sich selbst einen Eindruck von einem Spiel machen kann. Insbesondere wenn die Stimmen zum Spiel wie zur Zeit teilweise sehr unterschiedlich ausfallen. Dies wird für Need for Speed: Shift ab dem 1. Oktober möglich sein, denn dann wird die Demoversion auf dem Xbox Live Marktplatz zum Download zur Verfügung stehen.

Die Demo enthhält die nachfolgeden Fahrzeuge:

• BMW M3 (E46)
• 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10
• 2006 Lotus Elise 111R
• 2008 Nissan GT-R
• 2006 Pagani Zonda F (unlockable)
