    Hi guys i suggest to change name for the new blockbuster driving(???) game called pro street...yes it has beautiful graphics and smoke and damages are really cool but...did someone notice the poor gameplay?i mean it's not a driving car game but a rocket simulator! first of all sense of speed is false and when you gain acceleration the car is moving in the horizon(if you have played you understand) so the visual of the road in front of you is very poor but this is not a problem cause the tracks are more linear than Railrood Tycoon.
    Unless you are an idiot you can complete a track with closed eyes,you'cant wrong a curve,you can only adjust little degrees of you horsepower-rocket until you'll arrive first!!!What a fun!
    Damn this is PC i want a driving car simulator!Enough these arcade games...better stay with King GTR 2 waiting for his next-gen version...
    But i think that this next-gen is only smoke on eyes to hide poor gameplay and no ideas...

    I'd like to have your opinions...

    nfs is never meant to be realistic...its just a fun arcade game


    you want ultra realistic with ultra realistic graphics and gameplay....try Toca Race driver on pc...your going to be more than satisfied with that

    games not too bad, in terms of your problem with the car being on the horizon, you can fix that by changing the camera :) i prefer the short view or the bumper view.

    Blackbird it's an arcade you'are right,i have played all the need for speed from underground (the best for me) they were challenging and very nice arcade.From most wanted i noticed a big lack of ideas and a big drop down...sure pro street seems much better than carbon(worst of series) but why an arcade game must be so easy to play?
    If i want play a good arcade i play with Trackmania United,is not only an arcade it took me hours to finish some races,my walls are signed with my joypad throwns :D !it has not the pro street hype but much more gameplay and requires much ability than press little touches of left-right and accelerate always ON
    Toca 3 is a very cool game :)

    kraz30g i ll try to change camera ! thanks

    yea man trackmania was amazing...the tracks were crazy, only one thing I didn't like about it.....you couldn't play two players together, you had to let first player race, then second player race against the ghost of the first player which sucked

    what are you talking about? every single track mania game has online and LAN play. If your talking about on the same PC, then yea, of course not! can you show me any (new) racing games that'll let you play split screen on a PC?
