If you liked Most Wanted and thought Carbon was bad...wait till you play this!
Need for Speed Pro Street is not all bad...it's just not that good either. What is there is great. The problem is there isn't a lot there. The driving is solid, good sense of speed, races are fun for a while but once you get past that the game is shallow and a bit annoying.
I think it's the same announcer from Skate (which worked for Skate but does NOT work for this game). It sounds like oder out of touch people trying to write "hip and now" script which NEVER works out.
The multiplayer is fun, being able to race online is cool. A flat out race for pink slip mode would have been kind of cool. But after you get the little enjoyment from racing online you start wondering how fun and crazy online police chases could of been. An all out jailbreak! Imagine...you and several friends are racing then out of nowhere the police show up in hot pursuit. You guys all speed off to try and get away to regroup at a later time or to laugh at how you got away but your friend didn't. Add in mic support and that alone would have been more fun than anything this game has to offer.
The game looks good, has solid gameplay but it's just not that fun at the end of the day. There's just not enough there.
Plus...Need for Speed without police chases just isn't need for speed. All it does is make me miss smashing through roadblocks and dodging spike strips more than i already did.
If you absolutely have to have a racing game this one is ok. But if you're a need for speed fan it will disappoint you.
