Need for Speed: ProStreet (PS3)

The Need For Speed series of games is arguably the best collection of racing and driving games available on the market. The team behind them have introduced the idea of hot pursuits and evading the police being fun, racing at top speed through traffic in an urban environment, modifying your car both visually and with performance parts to help you wow the crowd and beat the competition and drifting around a track or even better down a mountain! So ...
...to find out. The Need For Speed series was in my opinion great because it delivered something different to the other racing games around and was realistic enough to believe that races and stunts like those performed in the game could happen in real life. Imagine my disappointment then when after just going out and buying the game, not having read up about it, we find a game unlike all the others with (at the start anyway) nothing different. You ...

Review of Need for Speed: ProStreet (PS3)

Need for Speed: ProStreet So here it is, finally, the long awaited Next Gen Need for Speed, (We'll ignore Need for Speed: Carbon because it was rubbish) and I must say...they've done it again. Its another brilliant installment from the Need for Speed team!! Lets run through in more detail, shall we? ==Graphics== Right then, graphics! As you can imagine, being a next gen game the graphics are simply brilliant, especially when viewed in full HD! ...
...to give you that proper Need for Speed taste. I'll tell you more about the upgrades in a bit...I like to leave a bit of mystery! ==Controls== As you might expect the controls are exactly the same as always...but you'd be wrong!! Need for Speed have moved their control layout to fit into the PS3 racing genre better. They have, of course, moved the accelerate button from X to R2, which I think is a good move. It allows for more play with the throttle. ...

Review of Need for Speed: ProStreet (PS3)

Need for speed games are usually the highlight of every gamers year, and when Prostreet came out everyone was expecting big things. Being a keen gamer myself i decided to buy the latest need for speed hoping it would be as good as its predecessors. I was quite excited when i got it home and turned it on for the first time and i was staggered by the graphics displayed on the playstation 3 and i was keen to get started. I started the career mode and ...
...track racing but from a need for speed game you expect street racing, if i wanted to buy a track day racing game then i would have bought something like Gran Turismo 5 or something which offers proper track racing. In Prostreet there is a vast selection of cars which are displayed brilliantly in the HD of the PS3. A new edition to Prostreet was the drag race which was quite exciting as on all of the other ones you were unable to drag race, but this ...

...was from previous versions of need for speed.On this version you are on a race track not on the streets,there is also no police chases onthis version which i think was one of the good things that they introduced into most wanted. The graphics on this game are spectacular the background looks in fine detail aswell.EA have not rushed this game as you can see from the output of it. So the story line on this game is that you are a new Racer from the ...
...you crash your car you need to pay to get it repaired so it helps if you dont crash.This is a very good feature and makes the game look awesome. EA have put a lot of songs into this game and they have also got a commentator who talks between races.The Sound Quality is perfect on surround sound systems sounds so real and makes the game more enjoyable. All in all i would say that Need For Speed Pro Street is Awesome but lacks the Freedom to rome ...

It flaunts legal street racing on traditional style racing tracks The game sees you playing as Ryan Cooper an ex bad boy street racer enter the professional racing strip, competing in race days which are comprised of different racing types. The main aim of the game is to beat the kings of each race type and then Ultimately the Show Down King, Ryo. The ...

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. Your goal is to work you way up to be the best racer in 4 different race classes. You need at least 1 car for each event and you have to tune it to your specs. Autosculpt returns from its first appearence in Carbon and has improved and ...
...ps3. Unlike the previous need for speeds, ProStreet focuses on legal racing. This means police chases do not appear which is a shame as it added an extra dimension to the gameplay in Carbon and Most Wanted. Some of the races can seem repetitive as the objectives are very similar to eachother. Its a case of either get to the end without crashing or get the most points by drifting. I think EA have taken a step back in ProStreet. In previous installments ...

...of us are familiar with need for speed but this is a complete departure from the normal fair. Set on courses instead of riding around cities pro street is completely a different animal to most nfs games. Withvarious single and multiplayer options te game on ps3 ould have been good. The drift challenges the drag races the various different race modes were brilliantly thought out alas ea sadly just did not get the execution right. The modes of the ...

Now the individual race modes grip, drift, drag, time trial etc are very good and the innovation of it not having tto much traffic is in the gran tourismo mould. The downside to the game i encountered to a lesser degree on the pc but with the ps3 version is really noticiable and that is graphics ...

Review of Need for Speed: ProStreet (PS3)

Pro Street is a great racing game with some good ideas, but its a dense, inaccessible structured and are a bit boring events. Playing online is the way you can get more out of this game. Game Theme: The theme is to win each Race Day and move to the next until you get the chance to challenge a Showdown King. you earn points for each event and if you keep winning, you'll dominate the day and grab the attention of the game's Kings (boss, who guard ...
...the bosses and tunning your car is all Pro Street about. Inside Pro Street: In Pro Street, you won't be getting advantage of free roaming streets, the night races and the colorful glowing neon's. Instead of night are day races, real world race events set on abandoned airstrips, disused docks and stretches of barren desert. The street races are out and in their place are organized, legal events, it will involve: Grip races (standard laps of a circuit) ...

...that this is in the Need for Speed series. In my personal experience, Need for Speed is all about street racing, not about perfectly legit track races. But actually, that's the only disappointment this game brought me. If you're not into Need for Speed games, but you do like races on a racetrack, then this might be what you are looking for. The graphics are good, I can honestly say that the cars were nicely done. The sound effects were not misplaced ...
...car" effects. The drag races are a bit more believable though. When you try to go up to 100KM/H in 1st gear for example, your engine will blow up. But, that's only for drag races. An additional shifting mode has come into the game. Full manual shifting. If you do this, you'll have to hold L1 while trying to shift gears. Apart from the tracks, this game is not that bad. In fact, I don't regret that I bought this game. ...

Review of Need for Speed: ProStreet (PS3)

This game is very good. I found that the graphics are exceptional, and the sound just as good. One of my favorite features of this game has to be how you customize your car. You can customize the colors, the shape, the parts and even tune the cars. But out of all of the car games i have ever played, this is the best to play with friends or online. But, just as good solo playing too. It's very exciting looking forward to winning things, by dominating ...
...in this game is very good, some definite well known cars. The cars look very life-like and real. I bought this game second hand at a local game shop, an haven't had any troubles whatsoever. The extras and game add-ons you can purchase in the Playstation online store including cars are very good. ...
