Need for Speed: Prostreet

I played NFS Most wanted, & it was the best thing I ever played. So I looked forward 2 Pro Street & I thought it was absolutely terrible. Don't waste your money.

this was a need 4 speed game? Really? WOW! this game sucked i was so excited 2 know that a new need 4 speed is coming out just in time of my birthday! i got it 4 my birthday & i played it & thought "Wow this game is nothing compared 2 what they said!" don't waste your money on it i am a need 4 speed fan since the beginning & this was something different & now i have different thoughts about where this series is heading! This could change if undercover is good! Please EA make a good need 4 speed!

Creative game 4 the import/muscle car lover, a bit challenging 4 younger players but, detailing/design options vast.

If you like speed, drifting, & shifting, this game is 4 you. I love the features like drifting, drag, & all the other features you have come 2 love over the years of Need For Speed, but there are definitely a few things missing from this iteration of vehicular madness. One aspect of Need 4 Speed: Underground 2 & Need 4 Speed: Most Wanted that I liked the most was the free roam ability. I love cruising around town in order 2 find shops or races, but I'm just a nerd. What is a huge disappointment about this lack is that there is no pursuit mode. Running away (successfully, sometimes) from the cops has always been one of my favourite parts of the Need 4 Speed series. Aside from the lack of cops, there are a few other things that keep me playing Most Wanted while my brand new Pro Street sits on the shelf. There is really no such thing as "quick play" you are forced 2 create an event, or deal with the races you don't feel like doing. I would love 2 see a quick play where you pick a car, a venue, & a style (drift, drag, circuit, etc.) & just race. All the background garbage in this game detracts from the actual gameplay, which is AMAZING!!! Now that you've read through my garbage, I can tell you how good the gameplay is. The graphics are wonderful, even when compared 2 PS3 games, & the manual (with clutch) shifting is very cool. The cars are excellent, with a wide variety of muscle cars, rice rockets, legitimate drifters, & others. I especially love the Chevelle, 240sx, & the 'Vette. Overall, this is a fun game, but seems 2 be aimed at ADD kids moreso than car lovers. If you want a real-life driving simulator, I would wait 4 Gran Turismo 5 2 come out, but if you like the crazy mods & awesome gameplay of Need 4 Speed, I would recommend it. It's probably the only new PS2 game where you get points 4 drifting, so I have 2 love it.
Enjoy!

I bought this PS2 game 4 my son. He also has "Need 4 Speed 1 & 2". He likes this version as well as the other two. He says it is lots of fun.
