- The Need for Speed series over the last few years has provided gamers with an excellent alternative to the likes of Forza, Gran Turismo and PGR, but EA's decision to move closer to those kings of the racing genre was a big mistake. ProStreet isn't a bad game, it simply doesn't hold a candle to its competition, and Need for Speed fans will be left wondering where all the fun has gone from the illegal, turned legal, street racing series.
Tom Orry · Nov 23, 2007 Reviewed on PC, PS3, X360Read full review - 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.
Chris Roper & Ryan Clements · Nov 20, 2007 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Overall, I really can't express how pleased I am with this game. The automotive genre has been suffering lately from a veritable plethora of games without much collective substance behind them. It's pretty easy to become disillusioned with a genre that seems to be stuck in a continuous loop of identical gameplay. But thankfully, Need for Speed: Prostreet has come to the rescue with a whole new look, a whole new control scheme, and a whole new way to race. Thank goodness!
Amanda L. Kondolojy · Nov 13, 2007 Reviewed on PC, PS3, X360Read full review - What it all boils down to is that without the story, cop chases, and open world of the last two Need for Speed games, ProStreet is just another racing game. Other than a nice online mode on the 360 and PS3, its only truly distinguishing feature is its amount of advertising, which makes an already uninspired game feel even more soulless.
Aaron Thomas · Nov 13, 2007 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full review - Need for Speed has changed, but the formula hasn’t been wrecked. If you’re driven enough to continually set your sights on higher and higher goals, this could be your kind of game. Having to cover the damage done to your cars gives playing the game a sense of desperation, and multiple event types mix things up. Even so, Need for Speed Pro Street doesn’t quite have enough meat to cover its bones and is best suited for players who are in for the challenge, not the big crashes.
Game Trailers · Nov 13, 2007 Reviewed on PS3 - Need for Speed ProStreet is a fascinating direction for the series, and one that represents a strong shift towards customization and community elements. Finally getting away from neon-glare of illegal street racing, the Need for Speed series puts out a title that gearheads will want to get their hands on.
jkdmedia · Nov 12, 2007 Reviewed on PC, PS3, X360Read full review - Overall, Pro Street seems to over promise and under deliver. The most worrying aspect however is that fact that this new cleaner, leaner version of the game seems to have lost some of its attractive quirky representation of the shady street racing scene. EA is in danger of alienating their main fans, whilst unlikely to attract many new ones with their pretty derivative racing experience.
Govan Roberts · Dec 06, 2007 Reviewed on PCRead full review - In a brilliant racing game, you could forgive this sort of thing, and the occasional botched mode, and the annoying presentation, but ProStreet is far from a brilliant racing game. It's tolerable enough and will certainly last you a long time, but it seems a shame that what used to be one of EA's better, more reserved racing games has become quite so loud, desperate and mediocre in an attempt to distinguish itself, and that what it does get right in this year's iteration is almost completely divorced from the track where so many of its contemporaries excel.
Tom Bramwell · Nov 15, 2007 Reviewed on X360Read full review - In ProStreet hapert es an allen Ecken – sei es bei der Technik, der Abwechslung oder der Balance. Mich enttäuscht das doppelt, da das überarbeitete Fahrverhalten und das Schadensmodell die Need-for-Speed-Reihe auf einen neuen Level hätte heben können. So bleibt es eine gute, aber lange nicht überragende Raserei, die ihrem großen Namen nicht gerecht wird.
Daniel Matschijewsky · Nov 26, 2007 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Une déception que ce ProStreet. Fade, répétitif, parfois en total décalage avec la série, il sonne comme une fausse note au milieu d'une partition imparfaite mais souvent bourrée de personnalité et fun à jouer. Le besoin de changement de la série n'a pas engendré l'évolution escomptée et même les plus fidèles devront se poser la question avant d'investir dans cet énième NFS.
