Need for Speed ProStreet (Value Games) previews

Need For Speed should be about street racing, and cop chases, and a story to follow. This game has none of those. They tried to make a simulator, and the result is a disaster. The physics is weird, and it gets boring very quickly, because it's just doing the same thing again and again: enter more race events. There's nothing to look forward to.

Although it does have a large collection of very good cars, the best/coolest ones are all unusable, like the Veyron, or Mclaren F1, unless you use cheats.

The new NFS went back to the original storymode/under­ground racing idea, because EA themselves admitted that Pro Street is a huge failure. So I just ordered Undercover, and can't wait to see how it's like!

A lot of bad reviews have been on the net regarding this game, so I started playing this with a very low expectation. I have to say this game is great, nowhere near perfect, but considering it's a move from the recent previous titles, what EA have produced is good stuff. Compared to GRID, well it's insignificant, but one has to realise the RaceDriver series has been around in the same sort of format for a long time. But this game shows some variation to what in my opinion was becoming a stagnant boy-racer game. Great graphics as always, and some good sounds, different race styles, and the cars handle a lot differently than recent titles (in fact, it reminds me of the very first NFS game, which was awesome back in the day!)

This is what Juiced 2 should have been more like (if you could get past the bugs on that game), but what GRID does better for the most part. I would recommend this game if you don't have the patience for GRID, and threw Juiced 2 away when you couldn't play it. 8/10

Another great Need for Speed Game. I enjoyed this game because all racing takes place in a competition environment without having other non racing cars on the road to get in your way as in Underground or Carbon. Drifting is a totally new experience compared to any other games physics engine. Graphics are great. To summ up – Double thumbs up.

Just played the PC Demo and this game is a return to form. Runs nicely on an my average system. awesome graphics, sound and not too “arcadey” gameplay. Can't wait for the release later this month.
