"ive been playing nfs since it started with underground and.."
hold on a sec, since underground? what about NFS 1,2,3 hot pursuit,4 high stakes and 5 hot pursuit 2? NFS was orginally about High end cars and resort like tracks, yes tracks. there was never free roam in NFS untill NFS 7 (underground 2).
Most Wanted was a launch title for the Xbox 360 and Carbon was a launch title for the PS3(just a year later, which seems to be a pattern now, NFS used to take a few years now its just 1). both games were rushed to meet the release of each system witch took its toll on the game.
the game engine (what powers how the game plays) was choppy and almost "hovercraft" like. the cars slid like they were on ice all the time and at times defied physics. sure its no a sim its suppost to be alil arcade but the problem wasnt that it was arcady, the problem was that the game engine was unfinshed which made for some frustrating races for anyone whos drivin a car before.
with that said yes ProStreet has taken a step away from the tuner scene slightly and went back to tracks but what we got in return was a much smoother game engine and better sense of speed. Prostree does not have cops, a bad guy, a epic story, hollywood actors, CG cut scenes, but you know what it does have? a fun racing game...
i think alot people have totaly forgot what "The Need For Speed" is all about.. this is not "the fast and the furious" or "the need for drama" no matter how you cut it NFS has always been a racing game and this year that is what EA delivers.
NFS is not defined by the type of cars, so what if it only has 8 exotics, so what if it only has 4 body kits for each car, it has a cars from every genre and a fun racing element and yet every reveiw i read crucifies it becasue theres no epic story or hollywood actors.
you people have your prioritys backwards...
NFS ProStreet is a fun, solid racing game and is built with a higher stardard then the past 3 (underground2,mostwantd,c- arbon
