Platinum Difficulty Rating

[DeGommers]

my second platinum

[Mark]

I gave it a five because without the online badges its a 4 and using only the offline badges is difficult so it gets a 6. 5 was just a good medium I thought.

I voted a 6, takes a while but it's a good game and a nice challenge

Can you change the difficulty after starting the game?

I just 100% Shift last night. I went with the the European Corner Master as my last badge. If you follow the tips on these forums you should be able to finish it in one night. It's not Wipeout hard, but it's not really a cake walk either. You're learning and improving after each run, so I wouldn't call it grinding.

I'd say some of the harder badges were the rival badges (spin them out, it's the best way) and the drifting series for the series badge (as I have no interest or skill in drifting).

I should also add that if you absolutely can't do the Euro corner master badge you can grind out the online podium finish badge which seems like it should be easy to me, but would take a long time.

I'm working on this and Hot Pursuit right now. Both seem to just be time consuming and not very difficult if you're good at racing games.

I voted 4.
It is not very hard if you are above medium skilled with driving games, but the time it takes to plat is insane.

You can in times get really bored.

I gave this one a 6. It's not too difficult, but it's not a cakewalk either. Some of the badges can be a bit difficult, especially mastering all European corners (I did the US and Japan though.) It's a bit of a grind, though I had much worse.
