Demolition Racer is not just another car racing game. It is much more when it has demolition as a prefix. The game is simple with descent graphics to provide a descent racing experience. But what makes it interesting is the fact that you got to watch your back for damages caused by your wild enemies in the game around. Yes! It is fun that way.

There are more than one mode in the game like a campaign, race and missions. I loved the campaign wherein I started with a car amidst 20 other cards in an open ground like a baseball field. They all go crashing over and over again until they all burn out. It is with your talent you stay away from wild drivers and manage to save your car while scoring points in regular intervals. Besides the campaign, the race mode is just like a normal race, but with a flavor of demolition. Racers care more about saving their cars in addition to racing first.

The game features multiple cars in different categories, customization options to car and other usual settings. The best part of this game is its simplicity unlike other games with high graphics, but at the end of the day is not being played a lot! Try Demolition racers today and do let us know your thoughts. Go Demolishing! Go Racing!

Simply put,Pro Streetis a big let down in the NFS series. After creating much expectation with successful games like Most Wanted and Carbon EA Sports fails to carry on the momentum.

The gameplay is monotonous and quite boring. The difficulty is mediocre and it makes the gamers to get disappointed with all their expectations. There are no cut scenes and it kind of feels isolated from the usual NFS story line. However the major set back is the absence of cops which removes all the fun. There is no concept of Bounty and the game is just uncontrolled street driving. The races are normal and the cars are almost the same as the previous versions.

The only good thing in the game is sound and graphics. Despite the disappointment the one need to accept the fact that the graphics is too cool and sound tracks would match the mood of the gamer. The added feature is that almost all the kits can be autosculpted.  The speed race is nothing but the same old sprint race with only the name being changed. The drag race is quite different though it becomes quite repetitive after few hours of gameplay. Thanks to the repeated requests from the NFS fans, finally the drift is back on NFS. The scoring is based on the length, angle and the speed of the drift. When other races get bored the gamer can have a little fun drifting out there.

The higher system requirements, too much of advertising in the game world, the unrealistic gameplay and the absence of cops have lead to the downfall of this version. . The street game has nothing in common to never cracking street racing and the absence of cops makes it childish. With stiff competition from other game developers it is quite unbelievable EA sports have come up with such a below average product.

GTR 2 won the best racing game of the year 2006 by IGN.
