Thanks to the sheer number of race days you'll need to win, it will take a long time to get to Ryo. Each race day consists of a number of different events. Most of these will be familiar to anyone who's played previous Need for Speed games. Grip races are standard races with eight cars on the track, and your goal is to finish first. Other events have you trying to get the fastest time or highest speed through checkpoints, or the best time out of your class of cars. Drift racing is back, but has been revamped and is actually fun this time around since you don't lose all your points for going off the track. You'll also be doing a lot of drag racing. It's fun for a bit, but gets old quickly thanks in no small part to the preceding minigame in which you have to heat up your tires; it's lame, and you have to do it before each of the three rounds. While there's no shortage of events, there isn't a whole lot of variety. Many of them feel the same--you just want to go fast. This makes the game grow old quickly, a problem when there are so many events to slog through before you reach the end.Read full review
I play racing games because I love the cars and this one has a number of very nice ones. Muscle cars to exotics; 60s and 70s to current models. I love buying them and customizing them. I get a little frustrated with the childish look of some of the body kits, hoods and wings but generally this isn't much of an aggravation. I enjoy modifying the cars as much if not more than the racing. I particularly like the "real" race venues like Willow Springs and Infineon... more of these would be better. Things like the Chicago skyline are fun too. The racing is pretty good though not the best physics engine. It would be nice to see damage and I am not sure that the various cars really have any unique "dynmanic characteristics" but I still enjoy the game very much and remain a big fan of the NFS line.Read full review
I loved how this version has the drag race.I also love how you can change the set ups on upgrades.(Gear ratio for an example)I did not like how this game is based around a car show/gran prix shootout.This game doesn't come near as good as the previous 2 versions(Most Wanted Black Edition and Carbon Collectors Edition).If the previous 2 versions had the drag race and the upgraded stages to the cars components,they would have been 10 out of 10's easy.
I was surprised when I saw that this game was rated so low, because being a car enthusiast, I look for car games to satisfy every aspect of automobiles. Need for Speed PS offers every aspect of cars that you can think of. Every piece of the car and every tune makes a difference when you take it to the track. The only downside of this game is that they're several good automobiles that they didn't include and the cost of aftermarket parts are WAY too expensive. Other than that, it's a pretty good game.
I bought NFS ProStreet because I like the Need For Speed series. My wife had gotten me a new Qosmio laptop and what better way to test its capabilities. At age fifty, I'm having a blast going through the various challenges and driving the various cars. It's easy to learn to play and you have to be patient with game loading, a little slow on a laptop. Once you get a race going, the fun is on. I recommend it to anyone who loves driving simulators, this one doesn't disappoint. As an old racer myself, my only complaint is that I don't have any tactile feedback! It would be nice to feel the g-forces, inertia, bumps on the track, vibrations through the frame....... I think NFS ProStreet rocks!
