One of the best bargain games you'll ever play!

I had Need for Speed Carbon and it was OK (I resold it on Amazon). Maybe it's me, but this NFS Most Wanted is much better! This game is so good it makes me think I must have missed something in NFS Carbon. NFS Most Wanted is a fast fun racer full of variety and a steal because it is a bargain game. It may not be for everyone but my daughter and I love this game!

Stay away of this game - way too hard

I really enjoyed this game... until the designers threw a 10 foot thick brick wall in my way around 2/3rd the way through the game. When you get to trying to work your way to challenge the 5th person on the Blacklist, you will be forced to have to either avoid 6 spike strips, tag 22 police cars, or make it through 10 roadblocks. By the time you get even halfway through meeting one of these milestone, you will be at Police Level 4. You will not ever be able to escape from the police at this level unless you get completely lucky (I have tried 14 times now over the last 3 hours.... yeah, that is real fun guys, and since I play games to have fun, and not get completely pissed off, this game is going on ebay. There is of course no difficulty level selection that you can choose from - so forget about any hope of completing the game.

Unless you are a masochistic sadist twitch freak that has no issue with taking massive doses of stimulants before playing a game to meet this games difficulty level, stay away.

A good (if formulaic) premise hampered by unbalanced gameplay and torturously cheap police AI...

Good graphics, slick presentation and good integration of past "Need For Speed" concepts is hampered by an incredibly frustrating, imbalanced police AI that (unfortunately) you must face off over and over again in the single player mode. The "Milestone" modes will have you pulling your hair out of your head, for different reasons throughout the game. Sometimes, you will find it a struggle to keep the police chase going when you need it, having to slow down over and over, so they can either find you or keep up; other times, they will relentlessly pursue you to no end, becoming cheaper and cheaper in the process. All in all, a real test of one's patience (especially the final chase, where (at the dreaded "Wanted Level 6", you must keep driving for an eternity, while the game piles endless super-strong, super-fast cop cars, SUV's and countless blockades; there is no reprieve, no "hiding out", you must keep driving until (finally) a signal pops up on the map that indicates you must get to that point, ASAP). Tedious music that you'll quickly tire from. It does look pretty (on the Xbox 360 in Hi-Def, anyways). Controls are ok, but no great shakes. My verdict? Get Burnout Revenge, instead.

i recommend downloading the demo of this game on xbox live marketplace. the demo has basic street races and also has different objectives like road blocks. i have to say that this game is unbelievable. the game feels like a movie in that you can hear the cops' radio. the AI is incredibly smart. they know where u are most of the time. they try and run you off the road and box you out. Again, download the demo on marketplace before spending 60 bucks on something u mite not even like!

Great game

I love this game. The graphics are great with highly detailed cars and i am still using my standard tv as i don't have my hdtv hooked up yet. The story is pretty good and the cop chases are awesome. Busting through the road blocks and piling up police cars is a really fun aspect to this game. It is fairly challenging overall.

Frustration and Great detail.....is that it? (i'm just kidding)

NFSMW is the newest game in the ongoing underground theme of NFS. the good things are coming...but heres a short list

PROS:
-good detail
-fun
-customization
-sense of speed
-get to race agiasnt all skill levels
-you get to buy awesome rides like Ford GT, Lamborghini Gallardo, and more exotic cars.
-you have people looking out for you.....which in other words your connected to a chick.
-Cops are very challenging in later heat levels.

CONS:
-there enviroment has some snags in it on the walls which make your car crash unexpectedly, causing you to curse, throw your controller, and the occasional having to rethink about throwing your console out the backdoor and screaming.
-Cops are very frustrating.
-AI pedestrain cars are very stupid.
-AI giant trucks are very frustrating when you hit there underthings.
-you have to face this crazy guy who has your BMW (BMW people!)

All this really balances out...but the cons are very bad.......but the pros...are ok.
Think about it, and don't buy this just cause you tnink you can do anything..i know how it feels.
Be prepared to have to pay an extra few 100 bucks for repairs to your controllers and console :P

fun!

This is one of the most fun games i ever played. Ive had it for about 2 months now and I still play it lots, and usually im not the biggest car racing game fan. Graphically, its one o the best games out there (granted i dont have a hdtv). Most people have already written enough about the game, but I wanted to reply specifically to someone (well their wife) who said in an earlier review that once you get to blacklist 5, the game gets impossible; this isnt true. It does get extremely hard tho, I had to do the milestone section about 16 times to pass it sucessfully. What worked for me was making sure to get the pink slip for the really good cars, eg the Supra,Porche and Gallardo. Still sometimes there is luck involved when they are 20 cop cars chasing you. I dont think it should be easy to beat any blacklist racer 5 and up tho. Anyways, that being said, if you own a 360 get this game, it wont disappoint

could be ALOT better

Pros
-customize cars
-cool graphics
-slow-mo
-destructable enviroments
-easy controll
-police chase

Cons
-POOR story line!
-MANY GLITCHES!!
-limited car selection
-gets boring over time
-unreasonbly get busted.
-too much loading time
-few music selection
-unlike other games, this game require to sign in MANUELLY(as in choose your storeage device,etc)

i got this game a couple of month ago. its about you race against the #1 dude in town, but he cheated and jacked your car so you have to start from the bottom. i was addicted to it for about 3 days. then it starts to get boring(due to everything mentioned in Cons section). (i am suprised to see alot of ads in the game, you get a CINGULAR phone, cingluar billboards everywhere, Burger Kings). bottom line, if you like street racing, get MIDNIGHT CLUB, its alot easier, more fun, better story line .

This is probably the best racing game of the Need for Speed series. It is so much better than Under Ground and Under Ground 2 and not to mention has kick a$$ graphics.

WOW! Awesome racing game and realistic environment.

This game is nothing short of amazing. Awesome races and realistic environments (coming out of tunnels you'll find yourself squinting because of the light-glare, very realistic).
