1 Star Bye, bye Need for Speed
If i could give zero stars i would, This game was thrown together and rushed out the door, they have killed a franchise,
I have two words for you EA “FREE ROAM” Most Wanted was the best game ever then Carbon running a close second. Oh and how many times do you have to repeat the name RYAN COOPER during an event?
I was apalled by how many menus i had to go through to select a car or a simple race for that matter, and then restricting the type of car i could drive during an event irked me even more, you have to build 4 different cars and tune them all to be able to take the bosses, and the cash you get for race days is pitiful.
I really wanted a quick race mode where i could test out my career cars, but there was none, you had to enter a “race day” and select 4 different events to see how your “blueprints” were gonna work out.
One more thing I really missed was getting away from the cops ala Most Wanted/Carbon, this closed course/no cops in sight layout bored me nearly to tears, There was no fun to be had here, glad i used a gift card for it.
I’ll be sticking to the BurnOut series
4 Stars Need For Speed ProStreet…
Well let me start out by saying that I have played both NFSU, and NFSMW, So I do have an understanding of what was changed.
Overall the changes are welcome, but with changes come some problems. For me, I wish there was a little more story to this game, And that some of the races weren’t so hard! The only other complaint I have is that the Grip races feel a little to much like a Gran Turismo game, I don’t really care that the free roam was taken out, Doesn’t bother me much.
I really like that they decided to make the races at the track, The illegal street racing thing was getting kinda old, and it’s good to mix it up once in awhile, This game definitely doesn’t deserve all abuse it takes.
At first I was thinking of just renting this game, But the place where I go to wants about $8 to rent for the week($5 with a friends discount). They had this game for sale used for $14.99, And with my buddies discount I got it for just over $10. But this game can be bought brand new for $19.99 at bargain bins, and even here on amazon! I also noticed that this game didn’t make greatest hits for PS3/Xbox, But it did make it for the PS2..weird (probably because it was cheaper on the PS2 in the first place)
2 Stars NFS
I played this game once after I bouught it, so I never really gave it a chance.
5 Stars I got a Need for Speed…
NFSProStreet has got to be one of the best installments in the series. Nothing tops NFSUnderground, that’s number one. This one is definitly second in line, though. This game tops the new NFSUnderCover, it aint that good. Need for Speed: ProStreet is a Greatest Hits game and a must-have!!
4 Stars Very good for the new low price
I have been holding back on getting this game ever since it first came out. I keep reading all these mixed reviews…some say it’s good and others say it’s bad.
I myself did not like the idea of NFS getting away from the Underground themes which are my absolute favorite in the series. I also like Most Wanted, but Underground 1 and 2 are my favs. I was quite upset like a lot of others over this change in theme.
Well I was recently in need of a new PS3 racing game and I didn’t want to spend a lot of money…so that did not leave me with a lot of choices since I already have Juiced 2:HIN and Burnout Paradise. So I picked up Pro Street and started playing. I got to say…it is well worth 20 bucks! I really love the drag competitions. They are awesome. Do a burnout to get your tires traction going is really cool indeed. And the cars sound really good when upgraded and look awesome when visually modified with bodykits and vinyls and paintjobs.
I recommend Pro Street for the new low price that it is.
