    Hey,

    Im looking for a good racing game, and for PC, the only option is NFS.

    So which is better, Pro Street, Carbon, Most Wanted, Underground 2 or Hot Pursuit 2?

    Do any of them have a cruise the city mode?

    So did Carbon....lol, I've been an NFS fan since kindergarten...

    ProStreet is most similar to Porsche Unleashed...a more sim-oriented game...For me, the most enjoyable would be Most Wanted (try to find Black Edition), Underground II, Carbon, and Hot Pursuit II, in that order.

    You say there's no more options for PC because you only want a NFS game ? Because DIRT it's a relaly good racing game... I had ProStreet and got bored really fast, but DIRT got my attention and kept me playing & playing :D

    Prostreet was a really bad game, similar to those crappy flash racing games.

    At first, I thought so too. But the look kinda grew on me. Plus turning off that setting made things look a bit too cartoon-ish. So yeah.

    Only thing I didn't like about MW was the limited choices of cars. Yeah, I thought there weren't enough cars, even though it's like 32 + the bonus cars in Black Edition [although you can't use 'em in career mode].
