Need for Speed: Prostreet
From Electronic Arts
Need for Speed : Pro Street is a racing experience like no other. For the first time, you're designing and building a car, competing in iconic locations from around theglobe and battling in four distinct racing styles- grip, drag, drift and the all-new speed challenge. The atmosphere is electric - complete with energetic crowds, photo-realistic vehicles and billowing smoke - all designed to embody the pressure and intensity of the gladiatorial challenge known as Show Down. Need for Speed ProStreet is the realization of the power, aggression and rivalry that embodies street racing culture.
NSF:Prostreet takes the race off the streets of the city and into a course/tournament style world. Does the theme ruin it? Not really, but it does make it a lot less fun/entertaining.
NSF:Prostreet doesn't quite live up to the expectations you may have from your NSF:Underground experiences. The steering control seems to have been improved from the initial Wii NSF:Underground release, but if you are hoping for a manual transmission... don't get your hopes up. Just make sure that you don't turn on any of the braking assistance as it makes the game far too easy.
The game centers around a tournament-style setting taking the fun of the previous "free roam" out of the picture. The selection of cars is great, but the customization options definitely don't live up to the Underground versions of the game.
The announcer in the game is probably the single worst-written and worst-casted role I have run across on the Wii so far. His annoying antics and over-the-top pop culture catch phrases make the game a "music only" choice. On that note... music is your general, expected EA choices and holds merely an average soundtrack.
For the NSF fans out there... it is fun, but it's not their best release. Personally, I am anxiously awaiting a return to the Underground world. I will finish the game, but overall I am disappointed.
