Played the demo on 360 and did not like it at all. I prefer Most Wanted still. The demo of ProStreet doesn't have any free roam or police chases, and the handling wasn't near as tight as I'm used to with their other games.

I just rented it for ps2 and i gotta say I'm not impressed. The story line so far is pure crap, the annoncers are just plain irratating, and racing is sub par at best. The hatchback VW is too slow and the other cars just don't feel like the real thing. The game just isn't as fun with out the free roam and the cops. The grip racing is kinda fun but just dosen't have the same razzle dazzle as Carbon and most wanted. I've only done a few races so far so I'll just say for now that my first fears about the game are true. I'll post a more detailed review when I get through.

I liked Carbon, the cars were good and fairly realistic cept for the vette, the autosculpt was just awsome and it gave the gamer a real sence of choice. True is got a bit boreing after awhile but all of the games had their problems, now the perfect NFS game would be a blend of the last 3. Take the arcade style of Prostreet, add the autosculpt of carbon and the car choices of prostreet and a bit more indepth story and u got the perfect NFS game! :)

(I'm gonna love this thread)
Yeah, I think that'd be a ame for the records.
Carbon wasn't very impressive on the DS, but for the Wii I loved it. The autosculpt was nice, but more selection in body autosculpts wold be win.
Pro Street is sweet. I'd like to have gotten more choice in starters, but when you get deeper in the game it rocks, lots of customizing in the performance area.

The problem with Carbon is that it's almost the same game as Most Wanted. Basically, Carbon is MW at night. All the cop chases and sayings are ripped straight from MW, it's a really cheap sequel.

Huh. I never had a chance to get MW, until recently. Five bucks at some store. But I think you just saved me that. But, I am a person of great complexity , so I'll just ask someone else to buy it for me. :P

IMAO Most Wanted is the best of NFS. Prostreet blew. I rented it one more tiem cause i got half off game rentals and the rest of it sucked. The Camaro was fun, but it's missing the basic things that separated it from any other racing game.

Yeah, prostreet is boring too.
No cop chases, free roam, street racing, all of it.
Plus you can't do a lot on Wii control wise. :roll:
