I've Been Through Detox, but I Can't Get Rid of my Need for Speed!
by Amanda L. Kondolojy

Need for Speed was one of those automotive franchises that was really starting to wear out its charm throughout the years. The last entry in the series, Need for Speed: Carbon, definitely left a lot to be desired. Even on the young next-gen consoles, Carbon proved to many automotive fans that their favorite genre was quickly running out of ideas. But the folks over at Black Box and EA have completely overhauled a redesign of the series in the form of Need For Speed: ProStreet. Of course it was a little bit of a gamble, but it paid off in spades. Need for Speed: ProStreet is, to say the least, an awesome game.

First of all, there's the look of this game. Everything is extremely detailed and brought to life in full HD all the way up to 1080i. The tracks vary considerably in terrain and environment depending on location, and the cars look extremely realistic. One thing that is especially noteworthy is the crash mechanics here. When you bump, crash, or even swipe an object, your car reacts in specific ways. Little pieces of your car will ding, dent, or even fall off. The amazing look of this game is probably the first facet of this game that will impress you. I can honestly say that the Need for Speed franchise can finally compete with the Gran Turismo franchise in terms of overall look. A pretty amazing feat really, when you consider that the Gran Turismo franchise has been leading the way in the automotive genre for the last ten years.

But as amazing as the game looks, the graphical upgrades are really the least of the new features when it comes to overhauled, unique, and impressive features. Need for Speed: Prostreet is really the first game to replicate the world of professional street racing. Sure other games have tried to tackle the "hardcore" or "underground" world of midnight street racing, but Need for Speed: ProStreet proves that legal street racing not only makes a great game, but it's also extremely fun.

One really unique feature of this game is that its career mode has somewhat of a story to it. You play as a newcomer to the professional street racing scene, and the basic idea here is to work your way up the ranks and eventually challenge the reigning champion, Ryo. To do that, you'll have to become an active participant in the weekend culture that is professional street racing scene. You'll participate in a series of race days which will be composed of a number of different racing types.
