Need for Speed: ProStreet/Walkthrough

Need for Speed: Pro Street Walkthrough

The next title in the Need for Speed franchise has changed its roots from the illegal/ underground street racing scene to the closed track orginised racing event.

In the game your player now has a name Ryan Cooper, who has been on the street racing scene for a while, but has an unkown driver in the organised racing events.

1.1 CAREER MODE:

As you start up Pro Street the first thing that hits you in the face like a hard steel pan is that there is no more free roam like in Carbon and Most Wanted. Instead you are greeted by a "Race Day Map", that displays the guantlet of race days and promotion events to your end goal of being Street King.

Each Event is made up of individual Race Days. These Race Days are made up of races of different dicsiplines such as Grip, Drag, Drift, and Speed.

GRIP EVENTS

Grip events are basically good old fashion circuit racing. This Disipline is challenging as the majority of the cars you are up against are alot more powerful than you. The other events that form part of the Grip Style of Racing is:

Standard Grip Racing: Whatever car you bring to the track is what you race in. Nice to have but as said before some cars are often 100bhp or even 200bhp more powerful than you.

Sector Shootout: This is also a fun new mode added to the game. Basically the track is devided into 4 sectors and whoever posts the faster sector time owns that sector. Be the fastest in all sectors and you earn a bonus for owning all sectors.

Time Attack: You basically have 3 Laps to post your best lap time as well as the best overall lap time against the other drivers to win. Grip Class: These are events whereby you are placed in one of Two Classes at the start of the race. This proves to be a good challange whether you are in the faster or slower class as both classes are on the track at the same time. Being the faster Class of cars adds more of a challange as you are placed behind the slower cars. It makes for really fun driving.

Your first taste of driving at one of these events is Battle Machine. The really cool thing about Pro Street is that every team that organises their events has a look and feel to them. As you will notice later on in the game, Each team that sponsors these events have their own theme and music.
