Good game, but not really Need For Speed
I have always enjoyed playing the Need for Speed games, my favorite by far being "Most Wanted" so really, really wanted to enjoy this one.
The addition of crash damage is a huge step up, I think the only time they did this before was in III and it wasnt done really well then (the paint scratches in other titles dont count).
However the downsides of this game are to numerous to mention, and really detract from the overall enjoyment. The main ones are
1 - handling adjustments are really hard to get right, particularly as you cannot make adjustments while in a "Race Day" and set up your car to handle for each track.
2 - The addition of tracks like Mondelo make the game really frustrating rater than fun
3 - The cash prizes for upgrades are too low, particularly later on in the game if you want to remain competitive - and it is really annoying to have to go back to the beginning again to build up some cash reserves
4 - The "Storyline" is pointless and just distracts from the game. And as one other poster has pointed out the DJ announcements are an absolute waste of memory space
5 - Some of the tracks are just annoying
I got about 3/4 of the way through this game and realized that I just wasnt enjoying myself while playing. It had become a grind to continue on. If it had been any other title than Need For Speed I would have taken it on its own merits and may have been able to get all the way through
As it was I popped in Most Wanted again for another go, and put the fun back onto my desktop

Impressive
I am so glad that I had bought this game. One of the main reasons is I am a huge fan of racing games, especially the Need For Speed series. Also it has the car that I have been waiting for --- the Nissan GT-R. I have been using this car as one of my main race cars in the game. If you are a huge GT-R fan like me, I highly recommend you get this game.

Basically the same old stuff, just nicer graphics
Nice graphics, new cars, same game as Carbon. I finally got completely sick of drift races and repairing my car over and over....and slightly bored. Nice looking, etc., but nothing new.

Too much power but not performance
First of all I'm a NFS huge fan, and watched many videos and screenshots of Prostreet. It is a complicated game, and are no tutorials. How do I do a wheelie? How do I play just a single race? (unfortunately you CANNOT, you have to play 4 different types of races, CAN'T play one race by itself.) There seems to be some confusion with the online game and career racing. But I think its a decent game. 7/10 rating.
