Advantages: Fairly easy to play and good fun

Disadvantages: Drag mode is impossible, and lacks realism

After previously experiencing the two underground versions of EA games 'Need For Speed' series I decided to try out another installment and so bought 'Pro Street'. This game is far different to the underground games as it is more based around a racing career round various street circuits. As with the other 'Need For Speed' games you can buy various cars and modify them in many ways. However if you are trying to customize the look of your car I have found that in this version of the game it is far harder to produce a good looking car unless you spend at least half an hour on doing so.
The game play itself is a bit more realistic however the level of realism is no where near the level of some of the other games on the market but that isn't the main aim of this game. The aim of the 'Need For Speed' series it to provide a quick thrill that can be played for hours or just dipped into for a race or two.
There are several game modes in this version along with the usual, drag, drift and straight race modes it now incorporates speed races which are quite fun to play and can be slightly challenging to master. However on the underground games i found the drag races possibly the most enjoyable and reasonably easy to master, but now on Pro Street i have been unable to win a drag race apart from the first races in which you compete (as almost anyone could win these). This is the only problem I have found with the game however and it offers a fairly enjoyable racing experience with this exception.

Summary: Worth buying as it can be picked up cheaply but other games do things better
