Xbox 360 NEED FOR SPEED-Pro Street

Bought this game as a Christmas gift for a nephew who had it on his wish list. Found the price to lower than at the retail stores. Received it on time and he loved it. Service was great and shipping costs were well above reasonable.

Another year, another Need for Speed game...

Ah yes, it's holiday time kids, and you know what that means. It's that time of year when EA lets all their new installments of flagship franchises out on the gaming world, and yes, there's another Need for Speed game. This time around, it's Need for Speed: Prostreet, which is a departure from the previous installments, Most Wanted and Carbon. Let's be frank here right off the bat, the best part of the past few NFS games were definitely the cop chases, which are nowhere to be found here. What we get instead is some solid, albeit unspectacular, street racing. That in itself isn't so bad, but considering the run-in's with the law were what helped make Most Wanted so good (and Carbon to a lesser degree), losing them is a huge disappointment. Instead, we get more of the same here with Prostreet: pretty decent looking graphics and cars, a very nice array of online options and solid XBox Live support, and of course, product placement and ads galore until your eyes bleed. There's simply  more

worth it

This game is so under-rated. I think that's because it's very different from previous nfs games. And because it's so different, it takes a while to get used to. The game is way more realistic. The graphics, gameplay scenery, cars, speed, and pretty much everything is more realistic. It doesn't have an over-the-top story, but in a racing game that doesn't really matter. The racing is top notch. It's difficult, but only if you want it to be. The driving assists make it fun for anyone who wants to play. Casual will make it so you can press one trigger and it will control throttle and brake, Racer will provide a braking assist in difficult turns, and King gives you full control. The game offers things that no other racing games do. The drag racing and wheelie competitions are fantastic. You go through staging to heat your tires before each race, you have to start and shift in the right rpm, but shift too early and you can get a false start, it is definitely the best drag gameplay I've ever  more

Another title to the NFS line up

Granted most people won't like this game because they don't like how it feels. There is a learning curve that most people have had and are having problems with. Once you figure out the games little quarks on how it works it's not bad at all. It's hard to push the cars on the easyest setting because it has auto brakes and more times than not it ends up with you losing control and end up in the dirt.

Once you get farther into the games and have the diffrent cars and upgrades it becomes fun. But it will take time to get there. Your not given the best car right off the bat you have to really work at it to get there.

But with any game try to rent it and play to see if this is something you really want to spend 60 bucks on.
