Need For Speed ProStreet Review (360)

[Steve_OS]

We have just posted our Need For Speed ProStreet review. Find out what Terry Crouch had to say about it.

"I have to give EA a little bit of credit here. It must be a very tough decision to take a proven cash cow franchise like Need for Speed and change its direction. Taking the series that has become well known as a free-roaming, open-ended racing game and turning it into a circuit racer had to have the bean counters at EA nervous, and with good reason—NFS games cater to the largest market available, with the widest audience. When you pigeon hole it into a “legalized” circuit racing scene, you’re going to turn off a lot of people. The flip side is that you’ll find gamers who don’t traditionally enjoy the NFS style of game finding a bit more fun than they’re accustomed to having with the series. I’m definitely the latter. If you’re on the fence, read on."

Wow an 8 out of 10. I give it a 5 at best.

I rented NFS Pro Street for a week to check it out. While I have no problem with the new format,the game itself is weak. All I could think of while playing it was, how come it looks so cheesy? The framerate was horrible, the picture jumped and glitched all over the screen at certian points in a race. This game is a very poor knockoff of Forza 2. Everything this game does with the exception of drag racing Forza 2 does much much better. Save your money. I want my $7.00 rental fee back.
