Need for Speed ProStreet (Sony Playstation 3, 2007)

Need for speed pro street was one of the better Need For Speeds that have been released. It was by far the most realistic Need For Speed out there. I really enjoyed the fact that if you damage a foreign car, the cost to repair the vehicle goes up depending on how valuable it is in real life. I don't enjoy paying for it, but I thought it was a very good idea to make that part realistic.

In this Need For Speed, there is a great variety of different race types. Grip races, Time Trial, Drift, Drag, Speed, Top Speed, Wheelie Competitions and several more. I was happy to see that EA finally decided to get rid of the Knockout races. The game started off kind of boring because you start off with very slow and unexciting vehicles. Such as an old Honda Civic and the Chevy Cobalt. As you get farther into the game, you can get nicer cars, and eventually get up to the unbeatable Pagandi Zonda. The variety of cars in this game was a disappointment, because they do not have many of the cars you expect to be in a racing game such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and cars like that.

The graphics and details in this game are very good. The length of the Career mode was very satisfying. The Multiplayer part of this game came to be a disappointment. It was just like any other Multiplayer racing game. If you are looking for a good racing game for PS3. I would suggest this only for single player, if you are looking to play online I would wait until something better comes out.

If you have any questions about this game that I did not mention here, please contact me, I would be more than happy to answer all of your questions about this game. If I did not mention a certain detail that you would like to know, just tell me and I will add it here. If you enjoyed this review please rate is helpful!! Thank You

You can customize your vehicles in any which way you desire. Performace, appearance, roll cages, and just about everything else.

The online ability to play lacks the players (willing to race online) needed to have a multiplayer game going. Solo player is very intense, although you get a little burnt out of the "same ol game" over and over just on different race tracks.

Graphics are ok, but you go so fast once you aftermarket part the heck out of your car that you begin to not notice anything but your car on the race track. Plus, when you completely trick out your car with high-performance parts...you beging to race a vehicle that is too fast for the twists and turns on the technical race tracks. Fixing up your vehicle every race from the damage you cause gets a bit lame (just knowing you F up your vehicle every race, yet you still win). Yes...you can always downgrade to a 4wd vehicle with a nice suspension to handle the technical tracks...but then that vehicle gets supped up too over time. I just found it very repetative once the game lost it's appeal shelf life.

The intense asian influence on this game is at first something that sets this game apart from other racings games (in a positive way)...but after hours of playing the game you get a little frustrated with the "in your face" intensity this game has (with funky music).

I would buy it all over again if I had the chance.

Gameplay: 9.0

ProStreet offers some great customization elements as well as several different types of races, including the brand new Drag Race mode to keep you interested. The game generally feels more technically realistic and responsive, and offers a new level of depth and complexity to the Need for Speed series.

Graphics: 9.0

Fantastically rendered car models with accurate damage modeling and awesome smoke effects.

Sound: 8.5

The sound effects and voice work and pretty good, and the soundtrack is what you would expect from an EA title.

Difficulty: Medium

Concept: 9.0

It was a risky move for the series, but it ultimately paid off. Need for Speed is an original and unique racer that focuses on performance and tuning over looks, and is a blast for it.

Multiplayer: 9.0

Great community elements from the Race Day mode to the blueprints highlight this online racer.

Overall: 9.0

Need for Speed: ProStreet is a great breath of fresh air for the series, and is a very complex and deep racer with some sleek customization options.

EA's Need for Speed series has long been an ever-evolving franchise, one that changes up its focus, mechanics and style every couple of years. Though the game sells incredibly well, the developer/publisher doesn't like to sit still. This obviously means that the series has had its ups and downs, and unfortunately Need for Speed ProStreet isn't one of the ups.

ProStreet is a game that doesn't really seem to know what it's trying to be. It's been years since we've seen a Need for Speed title that focused solely on track racing, with the franchise branching out into open world settings with a story, cop chases and all sorts of other things to make it stand out. ProStreet, however, goes back to the track-based racing, putting the player into race after race on closed circuits, and then sending them back to a menu after each race is over.

This setup is perfectly fine and, in this case, does work well to some extent, but there's not really a whole lot of extra "stuff" outside of the races that makes it seem like Black Box had a good idea of exactly what it was trying to accomplish. Yes, the fundamentals are there and the setup does work well, but the bulk of the presentation doesn't feel all that robust, especially when compared to what we've seen in recent years.

I purchased gran turismo for ps3 it was one of the 1st two games I purchased along with my ps3 because for 1 it was my favorite game on the ps2 system. After about 5 minutes of play it was a big let down the game is nothing like gran turismo was on the ps2 system.

After a bout a month or so I figured why not give NFS Pro Street a try and this game is everything I expected Gran Turismo to be and much more. I love this game you are able to customize you car add different parts and race it. I'm only about 10% of the way through career mode at the present but love playing it so much. My favorite part of the game is probably the drag races I could play those all day and never get sick of it. If you looking for a good racing game and are into cars pick this one up its a must have I love it.

The 2 downside are loading time between races and after every race I wish it would just load once and not have to wait around everytime you want to start or finish a race. aside from that its a great game the announcers voice over some sort of loud speaker gets annoying as well but is easily turned off in the options so not a problem.
