Drag Racing is another story, as it requires you to hold the remote vertically like a joystick, tilt forward and backwards to shift, left and right to steer, B to accelerate and A for the turbo boost. The Wii Wheel works quite well with the Grip Racing mode. While the control scheme advises you to hold the Wiimote flat, in such a way that the B button is facing the floor, don’t panic. The Grip Racing is done by holding the Wii remote sideways and twisting it to steer, hitting the 2 button to accelerate, the 1 button to brake and reverse, the + button to pause, B to activate nitrous and A to activate the handbrake. Each sports its own unique control scheme as well. Controls (3 out of 5)Īs mentioned above, there are two main types of races here, standard style Grip Racing and straight-line Drag Racing. On the whole, there’s a fair amount of depth here, but the Wii version of Need for Speed: Prostreet is unfortunately missing some key components of the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions – most notably, online multiplayer, which is nowhere to be found on Nintendo’s console. It does feel a little slow at times, and while some have complained about handling issues, I really can’t say the cars felt all that unrealistic. Be careful, though, because you car takes damage if you drive aggressively and bump too much. Among the types of races you’ll be participating in are standard-style three-lap affairs (called Grip Races here) as well as fastest lap challenges and drag races.Įach set of challenges has a target number of points you are supposed to earn by winning and performing well throughout the different events, thus “dominating the weekend” and advancing to bigger and better racing challenges. In some you will be given pre-tuned vehicles and will work to earn other rides, while in others you will have a chance to pimp your own rides and cruise your way to the winner’s circle. The big hook here is the Career mode, during which players assume the role of Cooper and, in between the cut scenes that tell the rather thin and pointless story, you will tour real-live locales in an effort to successfully complete a number of different challenges. There are worse racing games out there, but then again, there are better ones as well. The game features several different modes of racing, and while it does provide decent action, there’s nothing here that really stands out as anything special. As the name suggests, this 2007 release focuses on the world of street racing, and focuses on a fictional driver named Ryan Cooper who is working his way up a professional street circuit in an attempt to dethrone top racers, known as the Elite Kings. Developed by Black Box and published by Electronic Arts, Need for Speed: Prostreet is the eleventh game in the long-running racing series and the second to hit the Nintendo Wii.
