my first post

i have this game, i like it, IMO its the best installment of need for speed to date, the physics are far more realistic, the controls are easy, the car selection is the best ive seen, the tuning is more detailed

they took out all the usless stuff such as neon lights, spinners, etc
focused pretty much on racing, you only race on tracks, no traffic to dodge.

at first i did not like the fact that i had to specify what type of race i wanted each of my cars to race in, however now i see the advantage of doing so, i have a GTO for a drag car, viper for a drift car, R35 GTR for a circuit car, Z06 for my top speed car, i can tune them for their specific races and not have to worry about retuning for a different kind of race, bc honestly, who has a car in reality that races drag, auto X, drifting, and 230mph top speed race?

all in all, if you like racing games, modifying and tuning cars, then this game rocks, i am a gran turismo fanatic, GT has been the reason ive own a PS and a PS2, mostly bc i could beat the game and play constatnly just to buy and mod new cars, pro street offers the same potential but of course not on par with GT as a simulator or the massive car list

QFT, this game was awful, I expected much better. I would say get MKWii. Or Excite Truck, if you dont have it already, its the best racing game out for the wii so far.

sorry to tell everyone but mkwii and excite truck are not sim racing games, you can tell someone that likes Grand tourismo that mario kart or excite truck is a racing game, they are going to laugh at you. need for speed isn't even really a sim racing game... moslty un realistic... GT4 = great racing sim.

what are you talking about in Need For Speed Pro Street you cars can get damaged and you can DRAFT behind a car to decrease Wind resistance. In GT4 there is no damage at all (at least to my knowledge, if there is damage than you are right)

theres no damage in GT4, but the physics are much more realistic than any other racing game ive played
pro street aint that far off now though, i was truly surprised at how much more realistic it was than carbon and most wanted

I've heard GT5 will be the best racing sim. Too bad it won't be for the Wii. There is actually damage in this one. There is a video talking about it on youtube

Two Things:
(1) ProStreet is dope for the Wii...I love the new controls actually more so than the ones for Carbon. The Wii Remote has to be turned on its side for regular racing like an old school controller, but heres the kicker...you have to turn it like a steering wheel. For Drag racing (my favorite event) you have to use it up-right to shift gears...

((just a suggestion to Nintendo - try making the WiiMote act like the shift nob and you might have somethin truly crazy!!!))

Overall, I've been playing it for the last 48 hours and have only stopped to go to work and catch a wink or two.

I second that. Lupe is making a serious believer out of me. I have both albums and each one is just a monster in its own right. To everyone else, If you havent heard them yet..what are you waiting for?!
