Need for Speed™ Most Wanted Reviews

This game is literally just Burnout with cop chases. If you’re expecting the old Most Wanted, don’t. No story, no Razor, just a list of guys to beat. You find cars parked around the map and boom, they’re yours. No money, no buying, just drive and swap. Handling is arcade as hell, drifting feels nice, but the rubberbanding AI will make you lose your mind. You’ll be winning, then some random car teleports ahead and dusts you. Cops are aggressive but fun to shake if you know the map. Multiplayer is chaos, in a good way. No lobbies, just instant action. Biggest L is no customization. No body kits, no spoilers, nothing. Just performance upgrades. Why. If you love Burnout, play it. If you wanted 2005 Most Wanted, don’t bother.

This game is really worth playing if you are a huge fan of the Burnout games like Burnout 3: Takedown, Burnout Revenge and Burnout Paradise and even Criterion's Need For Speed Hot Pursuit, You'll have lots of fun playing this game, I even enjoyed this and Hot Pursuit as kid and now as an adult now I still love those games to this day, They are really worth playing.

Its very fun even when you just cruise around the city, what i dislike is though all the crashing cutscenes. I dont know though, mabey i am just bad at the game. 8.5/10 would recommend to people with poor hardware.

Growing up I have played many of the Need For Speed games and I recently purchased Most Wanted to add to my list of the Need For Speed franchise. Overall the game is okay at best, it becomes very repetitive with just the few select races per car and just about an hour into playing I was forced into doing the same race multiple times for different vehicle's progression stages. Most cars handle the same which makes the motivation for unlocking new cars non existent. Along side the lack for unlocking new cars there is zero customizability for any vehicle unless a DLC is purchased which is not a good look for any game of company. Now I understand for a 2012 racing game it will not be up to par with the newer Need For Speed games but I still expected more from Most Wanted. 3/10

Not the game you are expecting...was hoping for the 2005 most wanted not this open-world version that is not fun playing.

Dont buy this thrash i was expecting to be the nostalgic old game, this game is dreadful

The game is barely functional. Lazy port. No Fullscreen. You have to manually bind your controller. Mandatory EA app download.

Nice game to relax and chill after a day of hard work. Gameplay is pleasant, and teaches kids that every street race ends with ugly crash. I played Andorid version of NFS: MW a lot, but that game shares only some music and names of the places with this one. Still enough to provoke nostalgia. I recommend it to people who share the same nostalgia.

Bump up the graphics to the highest. Increase FPS... and u have a stunning looking racer. Visually holds up very well. Sounds great. Controller friendly. Incredible cars. The sound of the cars spooling is intoxicating. A must play

If you are looking for the Need for Speed: Most Wanted that you played on XBox or Playstation, this IS NOT IT. This game is only similar in the fact that you can run from cops and you're working through a list of drivers. Vehicle customization: Almost nonexistent. The original allowed custom paint and decals, as well as an in-depth tuning menu to tweak how the vehicle behaves. Consequences to getting arrested: None, effectively. You just get moved to another part of the map. Transmission options: None. You get automatic transmissions in all the vehicle with no option to drive a manual. Because fuck you, I guess. Story/Plot: Non-existent. The original has a plot that actually gives you a reason for what you are doing, this one has you racing people for no apparent reason. Having to actually race and win in order to acquire new vehicles? nah, you can grab almost every vehicle in the game by just finding it in the map and hopping in. What, you liked that you started with a shitbox and had to win money in races to afford to upgrade? Again, fuck you apparently. I could go on, but TL/DR is that this version of the game is a shadow of the 2005 version and if that's the game you're looking for I wouldn't waste my money. Edit: After posting review I noticed all the dlc for things that should be in the base game. Another "Fuck you" from EA.
