    I think that this game is brilliant. It just suffered from the inappropriate title, because that's what most people seem to be focusing on. If it was called "Pro Racing" or something like that, it would've been seen in a different light.

    It kept the best parts of the previous games the customization options and got rid of the annoying ones the cars don't act like plastic gravity-defying chunks anymore.
    Also the graphics are very good, even today in 2013 they still look beautiful on the highest settings.
    If you like arcade-simulators I strongly recommend this game.    … Expand

    Fun game which mixes street cars with closed circuit racing, it's less emphatic in streets and mixes them together to create some sort of hybrid simulator.

    The amazing this about this game is the atmosphere - you have an annoucer that talks about the events in the event menu, there are people admiring and taking photos of your car. The annoucer also reacts to your actions - for example if you buy a new car he notice that and comments on it, if you wreck you car he also reacts to that.

    The other strong aspect of this game is weird mix of arcade racing model and very in-depth tune mode. You can change numerous settings on your engine, suspension, brakes and drivetrain. Each of these settings change how your car behaves on the road. Moreover, the visual tuning also influences performance, like drag or top speed.

    The driving models is also nothing like in modern games, rather than focusing on drifting through corners it puts emphasis on grip racing whit focus on breaking. Your can get damaged, or even totaled, which will cost you money to fix it. It adds another level of presure on the player and rises game difficulty. At the end game you might find yourself searching for car that fits your driving style, since some of the tracks are extremely difficult.

    The part that makes the game shine a lot is the music - it's simply amazing, having multiple genres of music, like hip-hop or rock. Other part is sound design, each car sounds differently and very close to the real car.

    The graphics didn't age that bad, although they have some very noticeable glitches. It probably still has the best tire smoke simulation of any racing game to date.

    Overall if you are a car guy who is not into pure simulations and don't mind having closed track racing this game might be for you.    … Expand

    I played this particular NFS for the first time after playing a lot of BlackBox NFS. I would say I am amazed how good this game is. Physics works really good, its mixed realism with some arcade stylish driving physics. Every car which you drive behave differently. Only one minus is Drift races which have weird physics, but after some time I used to it. Prefer drifting style from U2.

    As a stand-alone racer, a competent console conversion; maybe a bit repetitive in the long run, but still a fair effort from EA

    When it comes down to it, Need for Speed Pro Street is a racing game that’s focus is entirely on one thing: racing. There are no cute little stories or “other” things to do.

    I think that this is the best need for speed since porsche.. ALL the nfs' have been waaay to arcadish for my tastes. This is a very good start for EA.. if they keep this up, they will rise the NFS series to the porsche level.. which has been the most realistic nfs yet!

    most people expected different from this game, thus they dont like so much, but its great job. good game to multiplay and show your driving skills. of corse the scores at this time 2013 show up worse than they would because people naturally compare to the level of the games of this time.

    1) Pro Street (The best AI, the best soundtrack, the best atmosphere, advanced tuning options, great physics, the best damage model out of all NFS and the only things I did not like was that the game is not stable and crashing often. I also did not like blueprint system. For example when you won a car and you wanted to install some stage 4 parts you could not do it without deleting the current blueprint which completely removed visual tuning of the car which is very hard to replicate - almost impossible)

    2) Most Wanted 2005 (Very nice soundtrack, strongly nostalgic feelings, very enjoyable cop chases, amazing world, great story)

    3) Underground 2 (Decent soundtrack, good variety of cars - even SUVs, nice tuning options, plenty of races, underground vibes, pretty poor AI)

    4) Underground 1 (amazing soundtrack - one of the best, very poor AI - it does not matter how fast you are, very strong nostalgia since it was my first NFS game I played in my life, the best intro video of all NFS series, inspired by fast and furious and yeah I love Samantha's Eclipse :) )

    5) Carbon (pretty decent soundtrack, great graphics, AI is trash, especially your teammates which are totally useless and they often slow you down instead of helping, strange drift physics, very very short campaign, cops chases are useless compared to most wanted 2005 system and canyon races are boring with annoying canyon camera when you are close to your opponent)    … Expand

Немного физических багов: при аварии сопло дёргается отдельно от машины, передний бампер, иногда, тоже. И из-за этих багов я ставлю 9. А так, это тоже одна из лучших частей в серии по моему мнению.… Expand

    The atmosphere is detailed and amazing, you get slapped by it during the first cut-scene, the music helps to create this punk, "I won't do what you tell me" aesthetic is backed up by great pieces of music from The Horrors, Plan B, Junkie XL and others.
    The cars feel heavy and satisfying to drive, much more realistic than in the previous titles, the story, as usual, isn't amazing, it's the typical underdog becoming the best and defeating the more powerful guys story.

    But it's that wholly rebuilt, almost-a-sim physics engine that propels ProStreet to such heights. Tossing these weighty sedans and exotics around, knowing you're connected to the road by just four distinct contact points, then late braking into a turn and riding the very limits of adhesion through it, is ungodly fun -- and darned challenging.

    ProStreet is a solid racing game, but it has some performance issues and is missing most of what made the previous games in the series interesting.

    A disappointing effort in a franchise that has generally been rather solid. It sort of feels like EA is starting over again, leaving the open-world aspects to other games like its own Burnout Paradise, but is seems like Black Box didn't know what to do with what was left.
