New features such as the advanced damage modeling, customizable body parts autosculpting are just some of the features that add to this intense racing game's strong following.

While the game doesn't exactly feature those two drivers you'll see in the video, the game might as well have been sliced from real life, seeing as how the visuals really bring life to the game. Need for Speed: ProStreet is due to be released this November 14 in North America on the PC, Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii and DS.

Anyway, enjoy the video we have on this great game and remember, leave the driving to the professionals.

Need For Speed ProStreet by Electronic Arts is easily among the most anticipated racing games currently in development for the Sony PlayStation 3, Windows PC, Nintendo Wii, and Microsoft Xbox 360. Genre fans have come to expect a lofty level of sizzle and steak from the Need For Speed franchise, and it looks like Need For Speed ProStreet won't disappoint. Have a look as the devs discuss the Speed Challenge aspect of the game:



As you've probably heard in this Need For Speed ProStreet video interview, Speed Challenge isn't about pushing the pedal to the floor and having your car's engine belt out noises like a banshee. It's also not about driving with more attitude than everyone else on the track. It's about maintaining your concentration in popular freeways for 20 miles at a time, all the while keeping up a steady dial on the speedometer.

One false move in Need For Speed ProStreet's Speed Challenge could mean the difference between a record speed and an outright disaster. The damage system in Need For Speed ProStreet is touted by EA as one of the most accurate in the business, so that should mean you'll be crawling at turtle pace after a bad crash. Keep it with QJ for more updates.

We've seen many a car racing video game offer customization to your own ride - and it's the usual stuff. For example, what color paintjob is the car going to have, how many decals it has plastered all over the bodywork, does it have a huge spoiler on its trunk - these options have been opened up for the player to mess around with. Electronic Arts' Need for Speed ProStreet (PC, PS2, PS3, PSP, Xbox 360, Wii, DS) does all that and goes even further - by allowing you to modify the shape of your car itself.

And before you ask, no, it's not just about the oodles of bodykits you'll be able to switch and swap onto your car - it's the specific parts of your car that you can mold to your exact specification, via the game's Auto Sculpting feature. What's so great about this is that the final shape of your car will factor into how fast it can go, i.e. it being aerodynamic enough to swiftly cut through the air to gain that extra edge. It's awesome on paper, and more awesome in practice in Need for Speed ProStreet.

Check Auto Sculpting out, as well as the game's other customization features in the video below. Enjoy!

Need for Speed ProStreet (PS3, PS2, PSP, Xbox 360, Wii, DS, PC) wants you to take your skills online, and we see the many ways you can make your mark on the interwebs in this video update of the game. Kick back and relax as we get up to speed with what could be one of the most intense racing experiences ever.

So, what sort of online modes are we talking about in Electronic Arts' Need for Speed ProStreet? The sort that not only lets you compete online, but also takes into consideration the bane of online gaming - time differences.

Take for example the Shared Race Day feature. Players can create their own race days with their own events and specifications - and then other players can choose to participate in those race days even when the creator of that race day isn't online. All the scores and data are still tallied, so it's still a competition - just that it's more time difference-friendly than others.

Certainly a good direction for the series to focus on the social aspect of online gaming. Enjoy the video!
