4 out of 5 stars Pretty Good   June 16, 2008
I once played my cousin's Need for Speed game and wanted it! So when I saw it for the Wii I was excited to buy it! It's okay...it's sometimes hard to control with Wii Remote but overall that makes it more challenging. Me and my best friend play it all the time when she comes over and we have so much fun because we're so horrible at it! We roll it and we end up laughing like crazy so yeah it is pretty fun but don't completely understand it yet


5 out of 5 stars NFS just kepps on getting better   March 27, 2008
I am a big NFS fan and I have got to say that NFS Prostreet is by far the best one to date. I own it on the WII so it is a little weird at first trying to use the remote for all of the controls. after a few races you should get the hang of it. As a reminder... Dominate all races. you will get more cash and better prizes. Enjoy

I'm a big fan of racing games, and you have to be to appreciate this one. The beginning is really confusing, but after that, it's fun. Then again, it's pretty much the same thing, over and over, you go do race after race with nothing much in the middle. I would only get this game if you liked racing.

4 out of 5 stars NFS is back on the racing track !!   March 5, 2008
NFS Prostreet's scenarios take place in racing tracks.

Thats different from "Carbon" - the previous Wii game only published in Japan where the racing was on the normal road in groups of gangs.

Moving the races from the normal road into its racing courts had a big influence on the overall game.

The game idea itself is now shifting more towards Gran Tourismo. You need money to buy the car of choice, repair when its broken, upgrade it, tune it etc. and study the characteristics of the cars to point in the different race types.

That is also reflected in the usage of the remote control. in one game you hold the remote like a normal remote control and in another part of the game you hold it in front of you (from left to right).

The graphics are very impressive for the little WII, but note that it needs to load often which can get annoying when playing long times.

From a moral point of view the new game is better than "Carbon", but "Carbon - the previous version" had its own flair because its running on normal roads.


Summary:

Overall the game is recommendable and fun for many hours. The races are very real and its often only 100's of millisconds differences to separate a winner and a "loser".

Definitely good to enjoy an occasional game but also for hard core gamers it doesnt get boring when sitting longer in front of it.
