Customer Reviews

Hugely disappointing for any NFS fan
This is the weakest NFS title I have played. Hugely disappointing - getting rid of free roam was a mistake, add this to the removal of the police chases, this has killed what was a hugely fun "arcade" racer. EA have clearly tried to compete with the likes of Forza and PGR4 and i'm afraid have failed. They have been caught in no mans land. This is neither as graphically good, nor as realistic as either PGR4 or Forza nor is it as good as previous NFS titles.

If you are a true NFS fan, DON'T BUY THIS, and instead, put Carbon or Most Wanted back in your 360 instead...................unless you want a real racing game in which case buy PGR4 because it is fantastic!

The game ONLY gets 2 stars in view of the still fun and unique customisation options, otherwise - it would be a 1 star game.

Most NFS fans Will Not Like This One Little Bit
This game seemed ok on the demo, but once you get inside the full version it is quite dissapointing.

You don't get the same kind of NFS game that has gone before, the cars handling is completely different, they are heavy and hard to turn, no powerslides and arcade handling here that made previous games so much fun.
There is no way to play race categories in groups for instance, like in previous games if you wanted to play point to point or circuit races you could go to that category in Quick race mode and play the game how you wanted, in this there aren't any categories to select race modes, you have to race an event, and the events have one race, several drifts, a drag, a couple of time trials, so the racing is split up and disjointed,and if you don't really care for any of these modes except regular races, known as grip races here, then you will find it annoying to have to keep starting and ending events just to have a quick single race on a certain track for example then have to exit and enter another and go through all the categories and choices again just to play another single race on another track.

The cars handling is unresponsive and heavy, some could say more sim-like and they'd be right, but this means its not very much fun, a few laps round the Mondello race track is enough to bore anyone to death, this isn't NFS's forte, TOCA Race Driver does this sort of thing much better, NFS's strength is fast sportscar racing around circuits in countryside or urban enviroments where arcade handling compliments the track layouts.

The Career mode is identical to the race day events that aren't in the career mode, the only point of the career mode is to get the cars in the game, but because the actual structure of the game is so tedious and unnapealing a lot of players won't feel motivated to wade through this to get a few more cars.

I've been a fan of NFS for a long time and I do wish they'd go back to their roots of centering the game around the worlds most glamourous sports cars, adding videos and data about the cars, including in car dashboard views, and racing in Championships made up of single races, which is what true motorsport is all about, just like in the early games of the 90's. It seems those days are long gone and no doubt, so will be the enthusiasm of many a gamer for this title when they try it themselves.

Need For Speed: ProStreet
'ProStreet', i dont think so.. How can they call it that when the races
are all on track, duh..!

Well what can i say..
i was so looking forward to this game as i had so much fun playing
Need For Speed: Carbon.. Alas my dreams (and bank account) are
shattered..

First where are the cops? This is an excellent (if not the best) feature
of the game.. It enables you to earn huge amounts of money and
get bounty's placed on your head..

Where are the characters and is there REALLY no story line or plot..!!
No cut-scenes either..

It's like playing Gran Turismo except without licences or any other
basic racing game..

There's no incentive or excitement.. However it does put on a good
display if you total your car..!

So where's my motivation to play? Down the loo along with the £40
i paid for it..!!
