Granted most people won't like this game because they don't like how it feels. There is a learning curve that most people have had and are having problems with. Once you figure out the games little quarks on how it works it's not bad at all. It's hard to push the cars on the easyest setting because it has auto brakes and more times than not it ends up with you losing control and end up in the dirt.

Once you get farther into the games and have the diffrent cars and upgrades it becomes fun. But it will take time to get there. Your not given the best car right off the bat you have to really work at it to get there.

But with any game try to rent it and play to see if this is something you really want to spend 60 bucks on.

I have this and Most Wanted. Most wanted was great, but this isn't far from it overall. What stands out most is if you're into manual shifting for games, this is the one. It's so real it has a clutch unlike most games. U can still set iit for auto, but that takes away from the experience. Plus it has drag racing and pop a wheelie competetion. Instead of cities n neighborhoods it has closed circuits. It's more hit or miss but I enjoy it

worth it

This game is so under-rated. I think that's because it's very different from previous nfs games. And because it's so different, it takes a while to get used to. The game is way more realistic. The graphics, gameplay scenery, cars, speed, and pretty much everything is more realistic. It doesn't have an over-the-top story, but in a racing game that doesn't really matter. The racing is top notch. It's difficult, but only if you want it to be. The driving assists make it fun for anyone who wants to play. Casual will make it so you can press one trigger and it will control throttle and brake, Racer will provide a braking assist in difficult turns, and King gives you full control. The game offers things that no other racing games do. The drag racing and wheelie competitions are fantastic. You go through staging to heat your tires before each race, you have to start and shift in the right rpm, but shift too early and you can get a false start, it is definitely the best drag gameplay I've ever seen. The drift racing takes a while to get the hang of. You have to either use the handbrake or clutch-kick to start the drift and counter-steer to keep drifting. The speed races are insane. It takes nerves of steel and a good reaction time to handle the 250 mph+ on a two-lane bumpy road. The grip racing is great, lots of different and challenging tracks to keep you on your toes. The game is long compared to the other nfs games. Lots of bonus racedays and competitions will make sure you get your money's worth. The multplayer is similar to carbon. You can jump in and leave a raceday that people make themselves. You can also share racedays and car blueprints. There is a big community for prostreet, which is another reason why I'd strongly recomend this game. And to the people who rent the game, actually get near the end and/or good part of a game before making a review!

I believe this is the best NFS yet.

I was actually quite impressed by this years NFS Pro Street. It is more track related, and alot more realistic feeling as a game. I was not a fan of Carbon, and I really liked Most Wanted. The fact that there are no cops in this one doesnt really matter to me. I prefer the feel of the cars and the realistic damage. Overall I think this is the best NFS yet.

Another year, another Need for Speed game...

Ah yes, it's holiday time kids, and you know what that means. It's that time of year when EA lets all their new installments of flagship franchises out on the gaming world, and yes, there's another Need for Speed game. This time around, it's Need for Speed: Prostreet, which is a departure from the previous installments, Most Wanted and Carbon. Let's be frank here right off the bat, the best part of the past few NFS games were definitely the cop chases, which are nowhere to be found here. What we get instead is some solid, albeit unspectacular, street racing. That in itself isn't so bad, but considering the run-in's with the law were what helped make Most Wanted so good (and Carbon to a lesser degree), losing them is a huge disappointment. Instead, we get more of the same here with Prostreet: pretty decent looking graphics and cars, a very nice array of online options and solid XBox Live support, and of course, product placement and ads galore until your eyes bleed. There's simply not nearly enough here to seperate Need for Speed: Prostreet from other games of the type, and it's nowhere near as good as Most Wanted, but you're going to check it out regardless of you dig the Need for Speed series. Whether or not you want to lay down that much cash for it though is another question altogether.

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.

wish had more cars

What is with the "YO YO YO HOMIE"?

Simply put I do not enjoy playing this game and it is now collecting dust. The "DJ" at the racedays, with his "YO YO HOMIE" would be laughable if it wasn't so irritating. Drag racing? Why? News flash! A drag racing video game is boring....It is probably a hoot in real life but to hit the gas and drive straight is, well, lame. But it is part of the game for some reason. I have tried to like this game but its so hard. The cars slide off the road at 30mph. I know you start with a basic car but a 1975 VW bus handles better. Rent it, maybe you will like it. But please do not buy it without trying it.

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.
