Not quite living up to its predecessors...

NSF:Prostreet takes the race off the streets of the city and into a course/tournament style world. Does the theme ruin it? Not really, but it does make it a lot less fun/entertaining.

NSF:Prostreet doesn't quite live up to the expectations you may have from your NSF:Underground experiences. The steering control seems to have been improved from the initial Wii NSF:Underground release, but if you are hoping for a manual transmission... don't get your hopes up. Just make sure that you don't turn on any of the braking assistance as it makes the game far too easy.

The game centers around a tournament-style setting taking the fun of the previous "free roam" out of the picture. The selection of cars is great, but the customization options definitely don't live up to the Underground versions of the game.

The announcer in the game is probably the single worst-written and worst-casted role I have run across on the Wii so far. His annoying antics and over-the-top pop culture catch phrases make the game a "music only" choice. On that note... music is your general, expected EA choices and holds merely an average soundtrack.

For the NSF fans out there... it is fun, but it's not their best release. Personally, I am anxiously awaiting a return to the Underground world. I will finish the game, but overall I am disappointed.

One of the best Racing games to date!

I really enjoy this game. I wouldn't get rid of it for anything. I think Need for Speed Pro Street is a more grown up title. The other NFP games had a specific flare that made them exciting and so does this one. I prefer track style racing over street any day. Some don't... The graphics in this game are great, the physics is on point, and don't even mention to paint jobs on all of the vehicles. I would say this game is best on the Wii because of the ability to drive the cars with the Wiimotes motion sensing. This is a great game!

NFS is back on the racing track !!

NFS Prostreet's scenarios take place in racing tracks.

Thats different from "Carbon" - the previous Wii game only published in Japan where the racing was on the normal road in groups of gangs.

Moving the races from the normal road into its racing courts had a big influence on the overall game.

The game idea itself is now shifting more towards Gran Tourismo. You need money to buy the car of choice, repair when its broken, upgrade it, tune it etc. and study the characteristics of the cars to point in the different race types.

That is also reflected in the usage of the remote control. in one game you hold the remote like a normal remote control and in another part of the game you hold it in front of you (from left to right).

The graphics are very impressive for the little WII, but note that it needs to load often which can get annoying when playing long times.

From a moral point of view the new game is better than "Carbon", but "Carbon - the previous version" had its own flair because its running on normal roads.

Summary:

Overall the game is recommendable and fun for many hours. The races are very real and its often only 100's of millisconds differences to separate a winner and a "loser".

Definitely good to enjoy an occasional game but also for hard core gamers it doesnt get boring when sitting longer in front of it.

It's ok...

I'm a big fan of racing games, and you have to be to appreciate this one. The beginning is really confusing, but after that, it's fun. Then again, it's pretty much the same thing, over and over, you go do race after race with nothing much in the middle. I would only get this game if you liked racing.

NFS just kepps on getting better

I am a big NFS fan and I have got to say that NFS Prostreet is by far the best one to date. I own it on the WII so it is a little weird at first trying to use the remote for all of the controls. after a few races you should get the hang of it. As a reminder... Dominate all races. you will get more cash and better prizes. Enjoy
