Well... ...The graphics are good...
You play the part of Ryan Cooper an ex-street racer trying to crack it into the legal racing world.
ProStreet takes racing of the streets and puts it onto the track and gives you some legal racing fun. Well i say fun but it becomes any other racing game. In the street racing games it has traffic to dodge and it took more skill to avoid them.
However EA have made some great tracks with tight corners, chicanes, full throttle bends and nitrous firing straights. The tracks are decorated with massive inflatables floating around, bright blocks and all the usual scenery. There are also many drag strips to burn down.
So you have your character and the tracks but now all you need are the cars, and hell there are a lot to choose from, Dodge, Nissan, Mitsubishi, the list goes on bringing you all the best new *** racers including the Evo X and new Skyline R35, and all the old but ageless Yank muscle, Chargers and Chevys. So theres something for everyone.
Next the main part MODIFICATION! For performance you can choose to do an auto upgrade were a whole kit is thrown on for you or you can choose your parts yourself, which is what i suggest. You have the usual engine, nos, tires etc. to choose from in 4 tiers and a selection of manafacturers for each. then the best bit, the body kits. Unfortunately you dont have much choice, you have to buy a whole body kit. No more choosing bumpers and skirts and mixing and matching for your favourite look. But you do have the Autosculpt feature from Carbon, (is that the first one it appeared in?) so you can change the look but hardly. You just widen the air intakes or make the front splitter stick out a couple of feet. However the kits do look quite good so its not all bad. Then you have to choice of spoliers, wheels, paint and vinyls & decals. Trust me the vinyl choice is Amazing. You can have 20 layers to design a unique and amazing design, there are hundreds of vinyls to chose from and even after you select it the fun doesnt stop. You can edit the vinyl not only the colour but the position, angle, size and slant. Leaving you with infinite design choices!
I kinda suck at designing cars but i have a sweet Evo and i just sold my Chevy that looked like the muscle of the Gods, well not really it was kinda bland, kinda like my Viper.
But anyway enough about my crappy cars.
So, WHAT IS THE STORYLINE?? i hear you scream, as i said you play the part of Ryan Cooper, and you have to work your way through race days to reach the Kings, there is a king for the 4 different race modes, (speed, drag, grip (straight up circuit race pretty much) and drift) there is then the overall king Ryo. So you have to race your way to being King and thats it, no dramatic storyline twists here.
A word of warning the cars handling all suck, they are not at all anything like the real things and the gameplay gets V. repetative.
Come on EA we want Underground 3!!! Bring back the Chavy modifications! They were the best!
