Advantages: Crash simulation, music, autosculpt

...Need for Speed ProStreet is the current installment in the need for speed series. You start as a man who is no to godd to race in the underground scene and is now racing in legal races held in a number of countries.

Advantages: New Drag Race feature
Disadvantages: Nothing like previous NFS games

The logical, next step for Electronic Arts' Need for Speed series would have been Underground 3 or a reasonable facsimile of what a hardcore, next-gen street racer should be. For all intents and purposes, EA has created Need for Speed Underground 3-a.k.a., a hardcore tuner title. It just (thankfully) decided to name it Need for Speed ProStreet, and thankfully made racing in the daytime a reality. Sorry if it is not very good , It is my frist time doing a review!...
