    By losing the open city nature of previous games and restricting you to organised events the series has lost a large part of what was fun about it in the first place. Add to that the fact that the driving itself seems to have become horribly broken since last year and suddenly you're left with a game that's relying solely on its image to shift copies.

    We haven't been huge fans of Need for Speed: ProStreet on other consoles, but the Wii version is by far the absolute worst one. It's not even so much the muddy, washed-out graphics (though they are quite awful, even by Wii standards) as it is that a significant number of features seem to have been stripped right out of the game and replaced with a control scheme that is agonizingly frustrating.
  3. While there may be some hardcore gamers that will enjoy the many, many hours of repetitive racing, most players will only look forward to throwing this one out the window rather than deal with the archaic controls and numerous problems.

This was literally the first game I ever played. The graphics are bad sure, and it's painfully hard to make money, but who cares? The racing is so much fun, and it requires genuine skill to be good at. The split screen is a blast for me and best friend as well. I have a PS4 with a Series X on the way, and I still play it. If your a hater, I invit you to try this out. Full Review »
