Fun:
The creators of the new 'Need for Speed: Pro Street' must of had games like Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport in mind when developing this year's probable Christmas No 1 game, as the style and gameplay is much more realistic and serious than previous years' Undergrounds, Most Wanted and Carbon games.
Rather than going for the own the city street races in Career Mode like in the previous games, this time it has a series of race days where you have to compete and finish various races such as Grip races, 1/4 and 1/2 mile Drag races, Drift challendes and Time Trials to procede to the next day. Each are fairly challenging in their own way and require practice on each to gets the skills to be able to come first in the Career Mode. In multiplayer and practice modes you can create your own race days where you can choose which types of races, cars and tracks are used and then take on your friends via splitscreen or system link. There's tonnes of top cars and plenty of tracks to keep you interested.
The controls take a while to get used to with either up on the right stick or R2 to accelerate and down on the right stick or L2 to brake, as opposed to the default X and Square controls on the previous games when on the PS2. As Circle is used for the Nitrous burst, it can get a little fiddily when using the right stick as the accelerate/brake controls, however this is the more user-friendly control out of the two when it comes to cornering and drifting. It's also a shame that the Six Axis tilt sensor wasn't used at all.
The graphics are pretty good, especially through HDMI, but are no where near as slick or smooth as some of the other racing games on the PS3, such as Ridge Racer 7, GTHD or Motorstorm. The effects and backgrounds do look very nice, but the cars sometimes look a little blocky. The soundtrack isn;t great, but what do you expect from a NFS game?
Overall, Pro Street is great fun with plenty of hours gameplay involved within the Career Mode and endless hours in the multiplayer modes. The controls aren't the best on the PS3 version but it doesn't stop it from being an excellent game that most racing game fans should enjoy. It's good to see that the NFS series has finally gotten rid of it's boy racer image (well, almost) and has gone for the more grown-up appearance, using events and legal races. Although I do miss the police pursuits that made Most Wanted such a good game. This is a decent enough game that should keep you busy until next year when Burnout Paradise and the next Gran Turismo game are due out.

Fun:
This is a lot different to Most Wanted and Carbon, so rent it for a couple of nights. I did as I was unsure about the dramatic changes, but I think EA pulled it off.
There is no free roam or police in this. But the cars and tracks do look really good. But the cars now show damage. On the demo, I totaled my car on the side of a Speed race and was barrel rolling down the track. In the smoke to AI cars behind me braked and swerved to avoid my wreckage, before I came to a rest on the side.
Just try before you buy. If you don't like this then have a look at Burnout Paradise

So, I was dubious about this game as I wasn't sure about the entire concept of the game, I really enjoyed the original need for speed games with the old style of gameplay. Read more

Not The Same
Firstly the title, Pro Street. Well it isn't based on streets, it's completely circuits. Everyone enjoyed Need for Speed for high speed street racing not serious track racing. Read more
