How to Shift in Need for Speed on the PSP

"Need for Speed" is an auto racing simulation published by Electronic Arts. Since the series' debut in 1994, there have been 18 titles that have sold 100 million copies. Of those titles, six -- "Need for Speed: Underground 2," "Need for Speed: Most Wanted," "Need for Speed: Carbon," "Need for Speed: ProStreet," "Need for Speed: Undercover," and "Need for Speed: Shift" -- are playable on the PlayStation Portable. Shifting in the "Need for Speed" series is as simple as up and down.

Instructions

  Watch the tachometer or RPM gauge. When it is nearly full, click the "Up" directional button or press up on the joystick. You will see that you are in a new gear and the tachometer reading is at the other end of the gauge.

  Downshift using the "Down" directional button. When you are entering traffic or a tight curve, use the "down" arrow or press down on the joystick to go into a lower gear.
