Mungkin apa yang dilakukan EA pada serial Need for Speed andalan mereka patut untuk diacungi jempol, mengingat pasti akan lebih mudah untuk merilis upgrade seri tersebut dengan cara menambahkan sub judul atau angka di belakang judul aslinya. EA mencoba mengembangkan franchise Need for Speed ke arah yang berbeda dibandingkan seri-seri sebelumnya dan sayangnya hal tersebut malah membuat episode Pro Street menjadi tidak menarik. Tetapi game ini masih memiliki sistem balapan yang solid sehingga cukup sayang rasanya meninggalkan serial ini. Sekedar informasi , Need for Speed Pro Street menghilangkan balapan jalanan ala Underground, Most Wanted ataupun Carbon. Berbeda dengan episode NFS sebelumnya yang menceritakan balapan jalanan melalui cutscenes yang keren, Pro Street mengambil sudut pandang balapan legal yang dilalui oleh Ryan Cooper. Cutscenes sebenarnya masih disertakan, tetapi kali ini pengisian suara serta penokohan yang kurang pas malah membuat cutscenes tersebut terasa cheesy dan kurang bisa untuk dinikmati. Sudah lupakan saja cerita dari game ini, melaju terus ke garis finish, menangkan banyak balapan lalu hajar Ryo, orang yang menghinamu pada saat debut pertamamu.Untuk mencapai musuhmu Ryo, kamu haru memenangkan banyak seri balapan yang terdiri dari berbagai macam event. Beberapa event akan terasa familiar bagi penggemar serial NFS seperti, grip yang mengharuskan kamu balapan melawan komputer atau menempuh waktu tercepat dan kecepatan tertinggi pada checkpoint tertentu. Event drift juga dikembalikan dan kali ini bila kamu keluar jalur, nilai yang sudah didapatkan tidak akan kembali menjadi nol. Sayangnya semua event yang ada di dalam game cepat sekali membuat bosan karena minimnya variasi yang disertakan.
Beberapa mobil yang menjadi rahasia mungkin akan terasa sangat kencang tetapi pada awal seri, kamu akan menghadapi mobil biasa yang terkesan lambat sehingga mobil-mobil rahasia tadi terasa sedikit mubazir. Karena balapan Pro Street berlokasi di dalam sirkuit maka tidak akan ada jalan tembus maupun polisi yang akan mengejar bila kita mengebut dengan kecepatan tinggi. Lintasan dalam game ini walaupun banyak, rata-rata merupakan ulangan dari lintasan sebelumnya dengan penambahan beberapa belokan sebagai pembeda dari lintasan yang lama. Untuk membuka event baru selain memenangkan setiap balapan, kamu juga harus mendominasi setiap seri balapan yang kamu lalui. Setelah balapan selesai kamu akan mendapatkan poin yang berdasarkan dari, urutan berapa kamu selama event, berapa kecepatan kamu ketika finis dan seberapa rusak mobilmu ketika melalui sebuah balapan. Ketika semua poin itu dijumlahkan dan kamu berhasil memecahkan rekor lama, itu artinya kamu mendominasi balapan dan sebagai hadiahnya akan diberikan event baru ataupun perlengkapan tambahan untuk mobilmu.
Seperti game NFS sebelumnya kamu masih bisa membeli mobil ataupun upgrade untuk menambah performamu selama bertanding. Kamu juga dapat membentuk bagian tertentu dari mobilmu demi mendapatkan tingkat keaerodinamisan yang lebih baik dan untuk menguji cobanya disediakan lorong angin yang memiliki efek sangat keren untuk dilihat. Disediakan juga fasilitas untuk menempelkan decal ataupun stiker seperti yang terdapat pada game Forza 2. Untuk versi online semua mobil yang disediakan berubah menjadi standar tanpa hiasan dan kustomisasi yang telah kamu lakukan pada mode single player.

Need for Speed : Hot Pursuit 2 (2002) (IDWS)
Need for Speed : Hot Pursuit 2 is the debut Need for Speed title of Blackbox Software and the first Need For Speed for the "sixth-generation" of consoles. Hot Pursuit 2 draws primarily from the gameplay and style of NFS III; its emphasis was on evading the police and over-the-top tracks featuring lengthy shortcuts. Although the game allowed players to play as the police, the pursuit mode was drastically less realistic than preceding versions of NFS; players merely needed to "tap" a speeder a certain number of times to arrest them, as opposed to using actual police tactics such as the PIT maneuver or utilizing spike strips to immobilize a speeding vehicle.
For the multiplayer mode of the PC version, GameSpy's internet matchmaking system was used in place of Local Area Network (LAN) play. Hot Pursuit 2 is also the first Need for Speed to forego an original instrumental rock/techno soundtrack in favor of songs sung by licensed song artists under the EA Trax label. The game is also the first in the series to lack an in-car cockpit view that was available in preceding Need for Speed titles.
While well-received by the press, it lacked the realism and sheer depth of Porsche Unleashed. Strangely, different versions of the game were produced for each system; the best version, according to the gaming press, was the PlayStation 2 version, with the Xbox, GameCube and PC versions generally considered inferior.

Need for Speed - Underground 2 (Portable - IDWS)
The Need for Speed goes back underground, to add more customization and role-playing-styled challenges to the long-running racing series. This follow-up steers players though the main drags and back-alleys of an interactive city, which is divided into five different neighborhoods. By seeking out street races and earning a reputation, players will be able to acquire faster, more powerful automobiles and extensive customization options. The game is designed to represent the "tuner lifestyle," and the main mode of play has virtual street racers exploring the city on their own, to find pick-up races and learn of the best places to get new parts. Need for Speed Underground 2 is hosted by Brooke Burke, known for her role on the E! Entertainment television network's Wild On series. The game features licensed automobiles from a number of manufacturers, including Ford, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen.
