Tons of Fun But Game Freezes From Time-To-Time (Sux)

When they said 'most wanted' they weren't kidding. Milestone or Bounty mode can have dozen of cops on your tail..shaking them off it's the most challenging and fun part of the game. I love the game over all but decided to write a review b/c I there is a major problem with the game which is from time to time it freezes w/o a reason. Especially when you are playing milestone or bounty race. It happened at least 4 times so far and usually after near completion of the milestone the game would freeze. Just a minute before the same thing happened again. Hence, I'm writing this review. If you faced the same problem plz post your review so I know I'm not the only one.

Wrong Direction for the game

OK i started out with a clear positive attitude for this game. I mean it's need for speed it has to be good, right. NO! I liked underground 2 with some of the best free roam capabilities for a racing game. Differing shops for differing needs. this one one stop shops and less customization than nfsu2. While your racing the cars paint scratches off! WTF? either you get damage or you don't. no lost paint! The cop chases suck! you either lose them way too easy or you are busted no matter how good you drive. bad game for me. you might like it, if you like underground games you won't.

bad for underground fans

If you liked the features of underground 2, you'll despise this game. I'm not just gonna say it sucks, i'm gonna give you reasons it sucks. First of all, this is not a street racing game. What street racer can afford a friggin Mercedes SLR McClaren? holy crap! you have about 1/4 of all the cars that are actual tuners. The rest are for the rich dudes. not like underground. Then the cop chases suck! you either lose them in about a minute or they are glued to your tail pipe. their ai seems to be trying to put makeup on or something. Then all the shops are gone and you just have one that you go to. good idea, but don't get rid of hydraulics and the sound systems. EA also decided to make you be able to scratch your car?!?! crappy damage system, takes off all the paint and makes the car look like crap. New races are good like tollbooth and speedtrap. The former being just a normal time trial race and the latter where you go by radar detectors and the person with the highest total speed wins. Like speed trap but you don't get to do it til blacklist 12. sold the game, i hated it. loved the underground series. This just defiles the name of Need For Speed.

OK, but could do better..

This game is pretty fun at the start, collecting bounty while avoiding police. However, as you keep going through the game, getting bounty from the police becomes tedious.
THIS GAME GETS BORING VERY VERY VERY QUICKLY!
First of all, it is good at the start, but the police really piss me off very quickly. I can't drive to the customizing shop without getting chased.
The gameplay is extremely unrealistic. It used to be realistic in Underground 2. You can turn 90 degree turns at 100 MPH+ without brakes. Now it's just a horrible, unrealistic game, like Burnout(the worst car game in the world).
However, the graphics aren't so bad, but the game is far too long for anyone to actually finish it. I would not recommend it. Save your money for God of War or Gran Turismo. This is A WASTE!

I have been enjoying playing this game. Once you get used to the speed brake and the nos button, your on your way to mastering this game.This defenitly beats Need for Speed2: Hot Persuit.
1.I think the game could be better if they had us race at night through the city streets with the buildings aglow like New York or Las Vegas, in a couple of the races.
2. I am getting my cars pretty fast as I try to win the game, my last wish for this game was, to bad the roads have to end before you can really see how fast your car can go, whether your racing or on free time. I always seem to have stop or brake sooner than I'd like to as the road curves as the race track keeps going along.
I am having fun with the game anyways. The milestones requirements give the game a nice touch as it adds more fun to the game as you try to accomplish the task and avoid getting your car impounded. Good game !

Stressful to the MAX!

I bought this game on a whim, having really liked Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2. This game needs help. First of all, the frame rate is lower than it should be. There is slow-down as well. Even the game before this, Need For Speed: Underground 2 looked 100 times better. The car models in Most Wanted are a touch nicer-looking and there is a far better selection than Underground 2, but that's the only plus this game has to it. You don't race as much as fly around the city in a barely-controlled frenzy, trying to stay ahead of the computer cars. Winning is more by luck than skill. He or she who hits the least obstacles wins. Hardly an enjoyable way to race! I get too stressed when playing this game, so I put it away for a while. Definitely rent before buying this game.

Some Pros, And Some Cons

Well, this game is alright, but it still has some things that aren't fun to use.

The cars in this game are cool and fun to drive, but all the cars are tuners and exotics. This game doesn't have any Luxury Sedans, SUV's, Trucks, and Classics or Muscles. Not one! But my favorite car is the Lamborghini Murcielago, but still, this game doesn't have all the cars I wanted!

You can customize your car, your way, but there is not a lot of customizing coices available to you.

The opponents are tought. You have to beat them all if you wanted to be #1!

A game that I reccomend is Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition. It has all the features that Need For Speed Most Wanted doesn't have.

Even though this game is popular, doesn't mean it's as good as other racing games out there. I probably think the other Need For Speed editions like the Hot Pursuit 2 edition are better than this one!

NFS: Most Wanted

NFS Most Wanted is ok, but there are a few things I don't like about it. The variety of cars is mediocre, and the controls are horrible. How can you eliminate the old fashioned way of control by using the pad? I absolutely hated that. The amount of vehicles is horrible...only 37. In NFS Hot Pursuit 2, there were close to 50. I am not thrilled with the tuning feature, and what's the deal with the NOS? The way I see it, if you need NOS on your car, then your car isn't fast enough.

I like the police AI, that's just incredible, and the 3d models of the vehicles are incredible. The gameplay is great and the combining of the elements from Hot Pursuit 2, Underground, and Underground 2 helps the game, but the variety of the cars hinders it.

underground 2 was better

In Need for Speed Underground 2 upgrading your car was easy and fun. In this game it is more limited and a lot harder to do. Also the cop chases are lame, just like people have said they are either gone in a second or on your [...] like stink on crap. I liked the new races and they graphics were OK. It's a generally fun game especially with having a rank but i still think Underground 2 was better. Go for Carbon.

Not Bad.

For me this game eventually got too bogged down with the 'milestones'. Getting the milestones and getting free of the cops became a pain in the butt. The cops seem to have inhuman maneuverability at times. You get into these chases that are just about impossible to get out of and you lose everything you achieved. The actual races were very good, though I didn't care for the drag racing.
