EA needs to fire these employees or make them play the previous NFS before they are allowed to work again.
I love NFS games, ProStreet is not a NFS game. The announcer is annoying, Ryan Cooper is a name that no one will ever want to hear again after playing this game for an hour. The menu navigation is terrible and confusing, the AI is not very good, graphics are OK if you have the $$$ dumped in your hardware, anyone who likes this game will loose there mind if they play any other NFS title. The cuts scenes suck and beg to be skipped by, in fact, I find that a lot of the game I want to skip by, like the mini game "heat up your tires". The tuning option of your car makes no performance difference unless you want less performance. Did I mention that the announcer needs to have his vocal cords tied to the back of a Mustang and dragged around the track a few times.
Seriously, this game HAD potential but, the over the top, in your face, are you cool enough factor is WAY over done. I find myself mashing buttons in an effort to "make it stop, lets move on, enough already, shut up, lets just race" because at least that has some merit.
EA, the next one, and there better be one, will have open courses, cop chases, less in your face 'tude and a smooth, stoic hero in a black leather jacket with a dry, curt sense of humor. Tuning should do something other than make the car run like crap and back off with the advertising. Hell, go retro and race old cars, go future and race future cars or go all time traveler and race a supped up Toyota around a rack next to Indy cars of the '50s. Just don't give me this urban slang "in yo face sucka", "he dissed you, go clock him" junk that is too cheesy to swallow. You should not cringe when the hero's name is said and should not feel embarrassed about the attitude of the characters.
