Don't mistake the tracks for easy, however the tracks can be extremely narrow, with dangerous obstacles lining the road just waiting to give you a firsthand look at ProStreet's extensive damage modeling. Unlike grip races, however, speed challenge events feature long straights and more gentle curves. While speed challenge races can take place on circuit tracks (like the Autobahn-inspired course featured in our last look at the game), the event in the ProStreet demo is a point-to-point track from the Nevada desert. For racing newbs, ProStreet even uses a Forza-like color-coded racing line assist that shows you the ideal line around a corner, as well as when to use the gas and brakes. Unlike in the freewheeling speed challenge event (more on that in a bit), the cars feel tight and responsive in grip events. Instead it seems like a nice introduction to the more realistic car physics that ProStreet will be exhibiting.

Even at the toughest difficulty level (and there are three you can choose from for both events in the demo: casual, racer, and king), this race isn't much of a challenge. The car available for the race is a Nissan GT-R Proto, a quick little number that handles the relatively simple turns of the speedy course well. The grip race is the most straightforward of the events in the game, a two-lap dash against seven other opponents on a course that we've played several times before.

Other race event types that will be part of the full game-such as drag racing and drift competitions-aren't found in the demo. The demo features two events, a speed challenge on the Nevada Highway and a grip challenge on the A-43 interloop. In true demo fashion, the downloadable ProStreet is merely a taste of what to expect from this revamped racing game. In speed challenge events, things can go wrongвЂ¦quicklyвЂ¦with the slightest miscalculation. With the upcoming release of EA Canada's Need for Speed: ProStreet, is it any wonder that an Xbox Live demo of the game could be that far away? If you guessed 'no,' then award yourself 10 meaningless points, because you are correct! We took an early build of the two-event demo out for a spin recently to see how the folks at EA will be enticing racing fans to pick up ProStreet when the demo hits XBL later this month.
