performance for the first time as well as personalize its appearance. Need for Speed ProStreet is a true taste of raw adrenaline and racing with consequences. Every dent, every scratch and every crumpled body panel is a battle scar, proof of your commitment and competitive mettle.

With an aggressive and skilled AI system, you become immersed in an unmatched
believable race experience. Add in a revolutionary online mode that will redefine the meaning of competitive social play, and Need for Speed ProStreet is the ultimate formula for an emotionally charged street racing showdown.

Of course none of this matter, what matters is which babes will feature during the cut-scenes.  This time around Aussie reality TV regular Krystal Forscutt will appear as one of only two women featured in the game. 

Krystal shot into the Australian spotlight in 2006 through Australia’s Big Brother reality TV program. Krystal has since gone on to solidify her star appeal through numerous local and international magazine cover appearances, and recently set television screens alight appearing on Channel 7’s celebrity talent singing quest, It Takes Two.

With her sultry character likeness now to appear in Need for Speed ProStreet, Krystal will affirm her position in videogame history with her digital rendering to be seen by millions of Need for Speed gamers around the globe.

Need for Speed ProStreet is due out this southern spring for Xbox 360 , PlayStation 3, Wii, PS2, Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable and PC.  There will also be a version for mobile platforms.
