The game is titled as Need For Speed : World Online, and as the name suggests it’s a MMORG, and a Play 4 Free one. But, this game isn’t exactly the next installment to the NFS franchise, it’s more like a sidegame, the next installment has been titled Need For Speed: Shift, and is targeted for hard core gamers, and is more like a simulation game, and is surely a leap ahead of the previous titles. NFS: Shift will be out in the fall of 2009.
