A suprisingly solid performer which departs from the traditional NFS theme

I have owned every Need For Speed game since the original game, and this game is the one of the best ones yet. Before receiving the game I was somewhat dissapointed by the games radically different structure as compared to recent NFS games, (no cops, no free-roaming etc.) and even more so by some negative early reviews. However, Prostreet turned out to be an excellent game overall.

The game is set in a totally different environment than the traditional Need For Speed. Instead of being an illegeal street racer you are a legal sport car racer participating in events held by different sanctioning bodies. The total immersion into this environment is where the game really shines. You get to travel around the world and race on real life tracks, and partcipate in realistic competitions which feature announcers that really bring the game to life. The car selection in this game is very good, even if you don't consider the many cars available for download, and the graphics and damage modeling are top notch.

I'm really glad EA decided to take the NFS in this direction for this game, and more importantly I'm happy its not some half-baked game like NFS Carbon was. However, I definitely hope EA returns to traditional NFS theme for whatever title they release in 2008. This should remain a "special" NFS game like what NFS Porsche Unleashed was. But, it made perfect sense for a game like this to be created. NFS Most Wanted is still a great game (one of the Best Need For Speed titles ever) for those who like open road racing and cop-chasing. NFS Carbon is one of the worst games of the series, and is basically just a "carbon" copy of Most Wanted, with a bad storyline, watered done police chases, a drab city, much shorter "time to complete", and overall a terrible production value. Anyway, NFS Prostreet is sure to satisfy me with its "different" style, until a true sequel to Most Wanted hits shelves next fall.

Fans of NFS - Don't buy this!

I'm a huge fan of Carbon and Hot Pursuit series. Prostreet takes two steps backwards.

My son LOVES this game!

I'm an adult who plays the occasional game to unwind or with friends. I don't own many games and I don't play very often. But this game is so much fun, not only did I buy it, but I was motivated to write this review.

I haven't been a fan of racing games in the past. -They become boring too quickly where everything is the same but the graphics. So I stopped playing them and therefore cannot comment on or compare to any other racing games.

I'm amazed with the subtleties in performance between all the different cars. And I'm really impressed how much the game lets you modify your car, not only the looks with graphics, paint and add-ons, but with engine tuning and fiddling with the aerodynamics. You really can notice the difference on the track! Faster parts bring dangerous speeds and the need to tune everything just to keep yourself on the blacktop.

The game is actually hard to beat and still fun to play a second time.

Finding the right cars for the right tracks and getting them tuned to your liking will steal more of your valuable time than you'll likely admit to your friends.

The downfalls: In story mode, the bosses are really pretty easy. If you have the skills and the right cars to get to the bosses, you crush them with hardly any effort. And as with most story modes, when you do beat the game, you are left craving more (more cocky jerks to win pink slips from) *EA has already come up with a couple solutions to extend our game-play in addition to racing on xbox live.

My suggestion... Buy it. It's one of the few games I've played that is worth the giant price tag.

ProStreet Rules!!

This game is totally cool! I have spent hours and hours playing and tricking out my rides. It is totally realistic, Go for it!

It has consumed my life...

...which may speak of having too much free time. But whatever. I got this game from a friend who hated it, and traded it immediately. He has know idea what he did. If you are a car guy/girl, you will immediately fall in love with the options this game gives you. Tweaking your SRT-10 Viper to make 1000+ hp is just a car guy's dream, and since it ain't gonna happen in reality, its a blast in virtual land.

Also, the game mechanics and controller input is realistic but the learning curve is not insanely challenging. Seriously, my main gripe with driving games is the cars all handle like crap and I never feel like the games are newbie friendly. NFS:PS is, and makes the transition easy. Your skills build quickly, you feel like you are making progress, and you get cooler and cooler stuff as you go along.

Did I need to buy that Mustang GT-500 that looks like Elenor from Gone in 60 Seconds? No. Did I buy it just to say I own it? Yes. Its that kind of game, one that has a high replay value just to buy that next vehicle, to drop your 1/4 mile drag time under 7 seconds, and to get that level 4 upgrade on nitrous.

I love this game, and I've got the blood-shot eyes from too many late nights to prove it.

Great simulator

This game is a great racing simulator. Not really true to the Need For Speed line -- no cops or no running away, just racing. However, it does the racing fantastically. From optional racing assists to a clutch button (which is very helpful, if not difficult to master), this game is only outdone by Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport as far as realism is concerned. Amazing graphics!

Not recommended for arcade style players!

Ripped off the street...

Free roam, gone.
First choice for car, gone.
Fine tuning most aspects of the engine, yeah it's gone. Replaced with a few sliders. You don't even get to choose your own name. This game has been stripped of so many of the things that made NFS great. I really hope that this game gets better further in. cus the plot seems pretty stupid so far. (Ooh, he said he doesn't DIG my racing skill...GAY!) Didn't people try to hill you in the underground series?

Just what I expected after reading other reviews

This is my least favorite of the modern NFS series. From what I understand, the next game out in the series will be going back to their origional roots bringing it back to city driving. The graphics are good and the new machine will help in the future games.

It's a very cool game, the roads and events are very good designed. The textures and graphics are too. but when I play, the introduction repeat and repeat the same frame, It's bored sometimes.
