Need For Speed: Pro Street:

Actually it was more like 35 mins..but...Anyways.

Positives:

It is a racing game, so 4 wheels on each car is great.

They have a splendid sound track.

The cars drive when you use the controller.

Negatives:

For some reason this game was very "meh" for me. I wasn't dissapointed, but nothing really grabbed me by the shorties and made me go "F Yeah!"

Graphically, its pretty close to its cousins in the Next-Gen NFS games, ie, there weren't any clear improvements and that is a negative for me, I like to see each game pregress visually and gameplay wise.

Synopsis:

If you are a Die Hard (with a vengence) NFS fan, you might get a kick out of it.

Look at it this ways, some game types get stale, people go...oh its a nother NFS game, is this another HOT PURSUIT game? So the developer decides to go in a new direction, which is something I can respect, and alot of times it works.

This time, was not one of those times though. Not being able to free-roam in the parts of the game that I played through was a big negative. I hear that the next game will me a Most Wanted style of game again, and that will be a great thing for me. That's what I wanted to play.

Until then, I will wait for Burnout: Paradise.

I give NFS: PS. 4 crashed dreams out of 10.

Post Script:

I forgot to mention something about the game I hated.

The friggin "goodline" graphics on the screen.  Just like Forza.  God DAMN I hate that shit.

I have it too(NFS)..didn't do much for me either..I love the nfs games but taking to the track made the game seem like a waterdowned Forza..I know it is a arcade and not a sim but still left alot to desire..Drag racing is the most fun

"For some reason this game was very "meh" for me. I wasn't dissapointed, but nothing really grabbed me by the shorties and made me go "F Yeah!" " I felt the exact same way about the demo. Great review!

They really need to go back to the Hot Pursuit gimic and build off that. Paradise it is until.
