Need for Speed: ProStreet

"Is ProStreet a change from the NFS formula? Yes. Is it a welcome change? Not really. The removal of the NFS staples and little new additions make this a rather generic racer."

ProStreet is a solid racing game, but it's missing most of what made the previous games in the series interesting.

Need for Speed ProStreet's online feature set looks pretty robust at this point. The ability to play a series of events with your friends without having to all be online at the same time means that folks with different schedules can compete in an easy manner, and we can certainly appreciate this setup.

Need for Speed ProStreet is a disappointing effort in a franchise that has generally been rather solid. It sort of feels like EA is starting over again, leaving the open-world aspects to other games like its own Burnout Paradise, but is seems like Black Box didn't know what to do with what was left. It could have still been a decent game had the cars driven well, but unfortunately their performance is shoddy. Car lovers will find something to like here due to the customization options, but Need for Speed has certainly seen better days.
