Need for Speed: ProStreet
Need for Speed: ProStreet, développé par EA Black Box et édité par Electronic Arts, est sorti le 13 novembre 2007 sur PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 et PC. Classé dans les genres course, simulation et sport, le jeu repose sur le moteur EAGL et propose de s'imposer au plus haut niveau des courses de rue en affrontant les meilleurs pilotes mondiaux lors de rencontres multidisciplinaires. Le joueur incarne Ryan Cooper, un prétendant au titre de « Street King », qui débute au volant de sa Nissan 240SX lors de la journée de course Battle Machine avant de progresser vers d'autres événements, de recevoir le parrainage de Super Promotion pour le Showdown de Chicago et d'accumuler records, argent et pièces débloquables. Avec une note moyenne agrégée de 64,93, le titre a reçu des retours nuancés : Cheat Code Central a souligné la profondeur du système de contrôle selon les modes de course, tandis que GamePro a salué le jeu en ligne et les visuels, et certains joueurs sur Metacritic évoquent une réception initiale sévère suivie d'une réhabilitation avec le temps.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« The effort put into the depth of control of this game is very apparent. Each of the four modes of racing controls in subtly different ways, and racing aficionados will definitely be able to tell the difference. »
« The outstanding online gameplay is just one item on a long list of reasons to play ProStreet. The great visuals, solid racing mechanics, lengthy career mode and customization options help make this one of the most deep and enjoyable racing titles around. »
« Need for Speed: ProStreet is a great breath of fresh air for the series, and is a very complex and deep racer with some sleek customization options. »
« Truly innovative in the areas of user interface, art direction, online integration and vehicle damage, Need for Speed ProStreet is the most complete hardcore tuner-style game ever conceived, and is only a framerate fix away from being the best street racer ever for the Xbox 360. »
« While Project Gotham Racing and Forza Motorsport improved upon their winning formulas in their respective sequels this year, EA completely overhauled the Need for Speed franchise to create what is arguably the best game in the series. »
« We kid you not, ProStreet is arguably the best driving game yet...A game of extraordinary brilliance.[Issue 26, p.82] »
« It feels more sophisticated, looks great, delivers tons of cars and racing disciplines, and upgrades what was already a solid online component. But far more critical, it's one of the best <I>drives</I> on the 360. »
« There are still chills and thrills to be found in ProStreet’s more organized “underground” racing series, though, as the racing action still very much fills the need for speed for racing gamers. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Um jogo que na época foi criminalmente atacado pelas viúvas do U2 e MW, mas que com o tempo conseguiu sua redenção »
« [SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.] »
« This was tragically misunderstood back in the day, even as a kid I never had the mind for it but this game was way ahead of its time, you will never get a game like this again and I yearn for another copy. The slating of this game is evidently dishonest where "Critic Reviews" here blatantly write about the game being bad solely because they still think we're playing Underground 2. Need for Speed is a gaming series which evolves and grows, if you want to play Most Wanted or Carbon go play most wanted or Carbon, why display your emotionally-driven irrationality on the reviews? »

« I played this particular NFS for the first time after playing a lot of BlackBox NFS. I would say I am amazed how good this game is. Physics works really good, its mixed realism with some arcade stylish driving physics. Every car which you drive behave differently. Only one minus is Drift races which have weird physics, but after some time I used to it. Prefer drifting style from U2. The tuning for that time is amazing, a lot of unique vinyls and customization of handling. It's so cool. »
« Fun game which mixes street cars with closed circuit racing, it's less emphatic in streets and mixes them together to create some sort of hybrid simulator. »
« One of the best game in Need For Speed franchise. All game features is amazing. I am still play this game. Totally worth to buy this even today. I'm rate this 10/10 »
« When it comes down to it, Need for Speed Pro Street is a racing game that’s focus is entirely on one thing: racing. There are no cute little stories or “other” things to do. »
