Need for Speed Prostreet is a very different game as far as the Need for Speed titles go, so much so that it may not even merit the title. The game itself is much more challenging than your average racer because of the controls and more realistic scenarios, wherein you have to pay for repairs to your car or risk disabling it. Every bump counts towards your vehicles damage, and so you have to be cautious of turns and air time; unlike other Need for Speed games you can't simply drift a turn and use walls as cushions. The controls are very different from most other racing games, and it is the first one I have come across that requires clutching for a manual transmission. It is almost necessary to jamb four or five buttons in quick succession in order to take sharp turns. Further, the basis behind the game is quite different from the Need for Speed title. There are no more police to run from and all racing is done on a race track, which is a bit of a joykill. I would recommend this game to anyone that likes circuit and drag racing. Don't buy it simply on the fact that it carries the NFS title because it is nothing similar to the popular game series that you love.Read full review
Its average at best. Definitely not the best franchise like the person below. This game didn't do well in its release so that persons statement is invalid. At the time of this games release Grid was also out and honestly that was better than this. This game is basically Grid but more based on tuners. While it has a decent selection of luxurious and exotic cars its more based on tuners. Has a few ugly muscle cars. Its all closed tracks and the car physics in this game was good at its time. Pro street is basically a unsuccessful version of Shift since it handles that way. You are better off playing that game rather than this. This game you play as Ryan Cooper. You don't get to play as yourself and it slightly ruins the gameplay. Pro street has some odd experiments such as if you crash your car you have to pay for it so you never want to crash in this game. Its okay but the fact it costs money if you were to crash you would just end up turning off the console instead. If you see this for 6 bucks its fine but I do recommend playing Need for speed shift 1 and 2 since its the spirit successor of Pro street.Read full review

I love the fact you can really customize your cars in this game and the effects are noticable to a degree. It seams as the cars get faster and you have more power, it is nearly impossible to tune them to be tame enough to handle most courses. That said I LOVE the damage mode and the effects it has on your car for racing. Also its fun on occasion to completely demolish the car and have it totalled, but annyoing at times. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT Update the game. Just play it as is and ignore all the updates. The update is buggy, takes away one of the cheat codes, and ulitmatley will stop you from completing the game, since you get to a point where it just keeps crashing. Then you will have to start all over, and delete the update. How do I know? Cause I did it. It sucked. So dont update, and play until GT5 finally gets released. Where the hell are you polyphony or whomever makes GT5. I have been waiting nearly 5 years for this damn game. WTF!Read full review
You can customize your vehicles in any which way you desire. Performace, appearance, roll cages, and just about everything else. The online ability to play lacks the players (willing to race online) needed to have a multiplayer game going. Solo player is very intense, although you get a little burnt out of the "same ol game" over and over just on different race tracks. Graphics are ok, but you go so fast once you aftermarket part the heck out of your car that you begin to not notice anything but your car on the race track. Plus, when you completely trick out your car with high-performance parts...you beging to race a vehicle that is too fast for the twists and turns on the technical race tracks. Fixing up your vehicle every race from the damage you cause gets a bit lame (just knowing you F up your vehicle every race, yet you still win). Yes...you can always downgrade to a 4wd vehicle with a nice suspension to handle the technical tracks...but then that vehicle gets supped up too over time. I just found it very repetative once the game lost it's appeal shelf life. The intense asian influence on this game is at first something that sets this game apart from other racings games (in a positive way)...but after hours of playing the game you get a little frustrated with the "in your face" intensity this game has (with funky music). I would buy it all over again if I had the chance.Read full review
