A very nice racing game that despite it's flaws is still a great game to play.
Pro Street's graphics are pretty darn good but they do have some flaws. These flaws lie primarily in the scenery, surfaces and even some of the character models. The surfaces like the ground and dirt areas look flat and lack detail. The scenery doesn't look all that impressive at times and lack a bit of depth and detail. While the character models seem to be missing that certain something. However the cars and all their respective parts look fantastic and have great amount of detail and depth to them.
Pro Street's game play is feels fresh and new but it does have some issues. All of the cars in Pro Street handle quite realistically to quite an extent. While players can trick out their cars the optional visual parts like body kits, hoods and spoilers all look and seem quite limited in their selection. However the ability to autosculpt these parts are quite deep but again these is a limitation especially on the most expensive body kit for each car. Players can fine tune allot on their cars ranging from the transmission setup right up to the handling. Changes that players make can be felt as soon as they hit the track. Unfortunately players have to take a risk when modifying the default setting as there is no way to test these changes out unless they enter an event. However one of the biggest things EA has done with this Need for Speed is that cars can now take damage. While this was a nice attempt on their part it does have some issues. Primarily in how damage is represented and to the extent it can do to each car. Players should not expect to see too much deformation in their cars body when they hit a solid object at high speed like say a billboard post or a telephone/electricity pole. While players can total their cars any other damage like say light or heavy damage will not seem like a big deal that is until they try to enter a race with it in which case only then they will feel the effects of the damage. This typically involves slower rolling speed as well as getting up to top speed. Aside from that the AI does a good job at staying on players' tails and quite often giving them a good run for their money.
Pro Street's audio is pretty darn good. There's a great soundtrack to it and it fits with Need for Speeds theme of going fast. The cars sound great and believable. While the DJ can get annoying sometimes he does a good job of helping to bring that sort of party atmosphere to the events which helps lend the believability to a sanctioned street racing event.
Overall Need for Speed Pro Street is a great racing game that players who get a sudden need to race can get even on a budget.
