Fairly decent actually. Instead of trying to copy Gran Turismo the developers opted to replicate the sensation of being on the edge of control. The cockpit camera is incredible and quite frankly, the only way to play Shift because it genuinely enhances the experience. Unfortunately the handling doesn't feel all that good and most cars will require tuning to not oversteer horribly and even then every once in a while your car will either start jumping for no reason or behave unpredictably. My biggest issue with Shift stems from its use of the Driving Line. The game encourages always following the line, turning it off puts you at a big disadvantage and makes the already tail-happy vehicles even harder to control. It made me feel like I never actually got good at driving, but merely at following the displayed line.
