Warning: 100% risk of getting bored to death.

User Rating: 3.5 | Need for Speed: ProStreet PC
Have you ever caught yourself daydreaming while playing a game? Well that is the best sign that a game is a total waste of money. ProStreet Demo has the power to make the gamer feel sleepy all the time. The races are the very same and considering that NFS series had a great variety of exciting (and sometimes hard) challenges, ProStreet gets repetitive and easy after 2 or 3 races. The illegal underground theme with police chases was replaced by a very well organized race event, with announcers and Ads (LOTS of ads...).

Unless you got a super computer, you won't be able to run this game smoothly in a medium-high quality. The graphics are really great but it doesn't make a difference if you can't play the game.

Cars... well, it's all about them right? wrong...
The cars are mostly the same from the last NFS games...

The story (like any NFS game) is about a guy (you) that wants to race, but he lost to another guy (the "boss"). So you start with a stock car, win some races, earn some money and tune your car. It really doesn't make any sense but in all NFS games... you are the SUPER RACER!

Watch out for walls and obstacles... now they DO make a difference. You cannot simply pass through a sign with nothing more than a broken window. In ProStreet your car will crash and get totaled if you hit things too hard, and that would be a very nice thing IF the controls were not so crappy. Ok, i know you cant turn a 90° curve at 260mph, but that is not the point... you cannot build a supercar and go racing out there either.. and even if you could, cars in NFS can reach EXTREMELY high speeds. So, if the producers wanted to put more realism into the game, they failed. Bring back the 90° curves at 250mph, it was better than crashing into a wall at 250mph and watch a slow motion (non-stopable) video of you car flying and desintegrating in mid-air showing you how much you suck for not breaking before that sign of "curve".

ProStreet is a total letdown compared to other NFS games (all the others...), and it should come with a warning of 100% risk of getting bored to death on the case.
