Need for Speed: ProStreet

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 looks like an interesting and stylistic direction for the series. It seems more refined and focused, which is great."

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.
