NFS on descent

I am far iron Need for Speed ​​- been a fan and playing all the parts for Porsche. The last two parts schwächelten already bad, but what is on offer with ProStreet, which took me more than disappointed.

But first something positive:

+ Graphics: it can not complain, as long as the graphics card still participates. This is really fun. Effects such as dust and smoke are well represented. If so timely.

+ Soundtrack: the sound is rocking as usual.

+/- Menu: make to the Preferences menu in my opinion clearly. Unfortunately, one knows not always know when the right time for tuning / repair is.

Negatives:

- Game concept:.. It was announced in advance and in the game (unfortunately) confirmed - the free ride "- mode was abandoned altogether and it can only be driven on marked out routes race Why EA is made the mystery to me the concept I found personally very well. Now it is more reminiscent of the FlatOut games (for I could never really inspire).
It is now always in a circle, in barren desert landscape and you will permanently Tired of text by a moderator with always the same boring sayings.
It seems to me as if EA get scared that a game with illegal car races to play is already illegal and prohibited. Always stay clean!

- Difficulty: I always get far with view in the car. Issue here is not - for me so not playable. Therefore only possible in the plan view. Already the first races are very demanding. Several reboots inevitable. Gameplay technically disadvantageous. So you can quickly lose interest. Especially players who rarely go racing games are frusten quickly.

- Control: I myself prefer playing with a gamepad. Here probably (strangely) a disadvantage. Especially when Burnout regulate hardly effective. Overall, the control is very dirty. But I still want to dig out my PC steering wheel. Maybe it works better with it.

CONCLUSION: people to whom the last 4 games NfS have liked, to be Pro Street probably have no more joy. Graphically more realistic, even the tires squeal at 40 km / h. Whether built aids are really needed I doubt it (yes you can turn off). For me, the spark has not yet jumped anyway even after 5 hours of play and I think he will also no longer. My tip: with the Underground games you're always better off! Graphically not top, but play / fun without end with a sensible story.
