For me, this game combines the very best element's of previus NFS games. From Hot Pursuit, they take the police chases, and for Underground, they took the best cars, and the free drive.
Forget all the night racing, in this game all is in the day, which improves the driving, because you can see everything in front of you. Also there are some change in the weather conditions, which dosen't afect the handling of the car.
Unfortunatly, the damage you make in your car dosen't afect you, because in the moment you finish the race, the car is repair automaticaly, and doesen't cost you a cent. You can see the car is damage, because some times, the glass on the car is broken, but, as i said before, dosen't afect you, you can race at the max velocity even if you crash against a building.
The enviroment is very good and realistic, in one time i saw how a trailer crash a car, and i had to evade them. In the races you can find more cars in the streets tahn in NFS Underground 2, and that put more presure in wining the race, because you have to evade them, if you don't want to lose precius seconds in the las race.
This time your goal is to going up in the black list, whic is the list of the best racers in the game. At the start you hace to win races and evade police chases to challenge the number 15 in the list. After you beat him, you hace to win more races, evade more police cars, to climb up in the list.
The races are almost the same as NFS Underground, there are sprint, drag, and race from point a to point b. The AI at the start of the game is not very good. In some races you can crash against a wall, and be able to win the race. But at the end of the game, the AI is much better and poses a much beter challenge.
Some times, when you beat an oponent they gave you his car.
There are a total of 32 cars in the game. Now, they all are visible, and they tell you how to unlock each and every one car, and his price. This is very good, because you noe knew how much money you have to won to buy the car you want. Also, you can sell yous car's to earn more money (obviusly you nedd to have a car to compete).
To change part's of your car yo ned to beat some oponets to unlock parts. The game tell you what you hace to do to unlock each and every part you want.
Te police chases are very good, to earn points, which is necesary to progres in the game, you have to evade the police cars, and even crash your car against the police cars. You won a lot of points evaiding police oficers, which is a requisite to challenge some in the black list. Evaiding cops, breaking law's, destroying objects, smashing other's cars, elevate the posibility that the cops can saw you and start a persecution. This is some bad thing because, in one time i was in my way to challenge some one and encounter a police car, start the chase, which took like 10 real minutes, and after that drive all the way back to the challenge point (i like to do that, even if you have the oportunity to jump to the point). To dow a litle you heat level, you can change your car o modifing the car.
The sound of the car's are very good, the siren of the police are very clear, and you can hear what the police are planing to stop you. The music is good ( I don't like that kind of music).
In all, this is a very good game, ENJOY.

Excellent Addition to the Series

First off, I have Nero Burning ROM installed and had no issues with installing Need for Speed.

If you like the series, this edition won't disappoint you. The gameplay keeps getting better, the graphics (on a good card) are mind-blowing. Having played NFSU and NFSU2 this one builds on what was good about previous versions. Good game that just keeps getting better, espicially with the edition of the most wanted list, the police pursuits, and the new race modes.

Great, great game

love runnin from the cops...

My only real complaint about this game is that I cannot stop playing it. It was real easy to learn the basics and using the garage and buying the parts areas had good directions. The gameplay starts ya off slow and builds and builds. It can be very intense later in the game while your in that 12th minute, running from the cops, trying to get the next level and your heart is pounding just hoping you can make it another 3 minutes. I am on my 3rd run up the ladder and I find new challenges every time. My new Radeon x1600 PRO graphics card makes the visuals even that much better. I was a little bummed by no drifting features as I got pretty good at that on "Underground". All in all "Most Wanted" is my favorite "Need for Speed" game yet. Porsche Unleashed is #2 and Underground #3. I have "Carbon" but have not been able to make it work yet. Huge lock-up issues. My suggestion, Buy it...you will like it. Rod

Good addition to the series

Maintains the fun factor of the other games in this series. Adding the police element back into the game makes this more challenging and fun than Underground 2. The game map is diverse and interesting. The storyline for the career is somewhat lame. The challenger series is the most difficult part of the game and has kept me playing long after I was done with the career.

The best NFS of the series.

Well, I have read some of the reviews for this product. To me looks like people didn't really play the game. The tough AI gives you a challenge, would you want everything to be a piece of cake? Anyways this is by far the best NFS of the series, because the cop system.
