Need for Speed: ProStreet Demo Hits Marketplace

Over the past few years, we’ve been treated to some fairly sub-par Need for Speed games. Carbon, for instance, just wasn’t all that exciting, and the same could be argued about Most Wanted and Underground 2. But EA seems to have gotten the message that they really need to kick it up a notch, and that’s exactly why you should be excited about ProStreet. The game deviates from its more arcade-style roots and moves closer to sim racers while still not being a sim.
Plus, if you hate illegal street racing/The Fast and the Furious scene, ProStreet no longer is obsessed with that concept. Races take place on closed tracks, which will be nice but that also means there won’t be any cops, sadly.
There’s a demo up on the Xbox Live Marketplace now that’ll give you a taste of the game before it releases on November 14.
