Need for Speed: ProStreet - Xbox 360

This game had a ton of promise. Great car models, extremely deep modification and upgrade process and some unique areas to race in. But, is extremely hard to understand how to find what you're looking for due to a horrific menu system. On the career overmap, it's hard to tell what racing series are open and how to get back to where you want to be. Once you get past that, there's some fun to be had in Prostreet....the Speed Challenges later in the game are great fun...but this is also where you'll encounter frame rate hiccups and stuttering....which is a deal-breaker when you're traveling at nearly 200 mph. Not the worst driving game I've ever played....but not even close to the great NFS games like Most Wanted.

Need For Speed Pro Street is a big change for EA; going from all out, open world, cop chasing racing to closed course sanctioned racing. I thought the career mode was so easy but it was very long and drawn out. I also hated the car customization. It was very confusing and misleading at times. There were some cool tracks though. I liked the Portland International Raceway and the Willow Springs Raceway which are cool tracks that usually aren't in games. The drag racing was pretty fun when you could do a burnout before the race to heat up the tires. The racing overall is not as spectacular as some of the previous Need For Speed games. I would recommend renting this game before you buy it.

When I bought this game I thought that it would be great. I soon realized that the fact that the only tracks you can play on are just that: tracks. Need for speed is supposed to be about street racing. why on earth would they suddenly switch to racing on a track. The way the street tracks were was great you could search the map for shortcuts and ways to drop obstacles in front of your opponents. Now there are no shortcuts and you have to pay for it when you damage your car. Ok so the racing is bad, but at least they kept the car designing awesome right. Wrong. The car design process actually worsened in this new game. there are not as many customizeable options, and the body style options are reduced. The story seemed like it was just pasted together with no real thought whatsoever. It did not really have much of a point and the characters in it were bad. Finally, I have two good things to say about this game. It's graphics were the best I have seen in a very long time they took some real time with those. Also the car database has accurate prices and ratings for once. However all in all EA took a huge step backwards with this almost horrible game. Take this advice and just go get need for speed carbon it is boatloads better than this awful game.

Overall a good game and I thoroughly enjoy playing it. Customization of the cars could be better, but there are plenty of cars to choose from... old school muscle, to new tuners, to the new GTR. The driving is realistic if you're using a steering wheel, but can be a bit awkward at first if you're using a controller (You can't handle the control stick rough like in the other NFS's, requires a bit more touch and skill). I recommend the steering wheel for this game as it adds to the realisim and you get feedback from the game when you have traction or if you start sliding. Vehicle handling is much better than in all of the previous versions and you're able to play with the controls more to customize your driving style. I do miss the free roam mode and the police chases from Most Wanted and was a bit surprised upon my intial play, but NFS was starting to do away with police chaces in Carbon. If you're looking for the street racing, go with NFS: MW or NFS: Carbon. This game has you racing actual tracks or closed courses.

When i first heard about this game i really wanted to get it and play it but after playing it NFS just let me down horribly NO FREE ROAM MODE MINIMAL CUSTIMIZATION ON CARS STEERING CONTROLS ARE HORRIBLE AND THE STORYLINE OH WAIT THERE IS NO STORYLINE NFS BETTER FIND A WAY TO BOUNCE BACK AFTER THIS GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT WORK HARDER GUYS SERIOUSLY BIGGEST LET DOWN IN 07 I SAY SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GET THE NEXT NFS HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE BETTER

This game is great in the sense that it is a very realistic street racing game. The turning for each car is different just like real life, theres alot of cars, and alot of customizing. But with the customizing you can't customize your ride in the main menu like you could in Carbon or Most Wanted the only cars you can customize are those in career mode that you bought. Other than that its a good game all around

Ok when i first played the demo i thought it was going to be cool but i slowly realized how similar the game is to forza motor sport. besides the story line there is nothing really extravagant about it, but if your a fan of the series why not. Personally Ill put it on the Christmas list but won't go out and buy it myself.

OK, here is the deal, this game is not street racing like we know it. It is based on the sport where every day people take there every day car to a track and race. If you look at the back of the box you will learn that. This game still has the awsome ways to do stuff to the car and you can have alot of fun racing. I use the racing wheel and it adds sooooooo much to this game. Its a wast of time for every one beacsue they wanted it to be more like undergraound and most wanted, but this is really diffrent and yeah it took a few races to get used to but it is alot of fun I would buy it even at 60 bucks
