“Try the new Need for Speed on a Porsche”

Even if you don't like cars, I'm sure you'd love to drive a Porsche, at least once in your life. Here at Softonic we don't have a Porsche giveaway included in our budget, but at least we can provide you with a racing game where you can experiment how it feels to drive a Porsche – that is, a virtual one.

The Need for Speed: ProStreet Porsche Edition demo puts you behind the wheel of a genuine Porsche sports car and challenges you to race against other pilots in the Porsche's testing track in Leipzig. You can choose between two models (GT2 and GT3RS) and select between different levels of difficulty, which makes the game suitable even for the driving-challenged.

Graphics are as spectacular as you expect them to be in the NFS series. The extraordinary level of detail in cars enables you to see images reflected on their shiny bodywork. Physics are faithfully reproduced, both in the car's movements and in object reaction when hitting against any obstacle on the road – not that I'm a bad driver, it was just for testing purposes.

Though the demo may feel too short (only the two aforementioned cars in two different tracks) the game is quite enjoyable, thanks to a realistic speed sensation and the constant desire to be the fastest pilot on track.

With Need for Speed: ProStreet Porsche Edition you can experience all the sensations produced by driving a Porsche at top speed – only for a short period of time, though.
