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.

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

Awesome Game

I never played any of NFS games before; I was debating on whether to purchase 'Most Wanted' or 'Carbon', and I'm glad I chose this one. In this game, the storyline isn't so bad for a racing game. You have a substantial amount of cars to purchase and claim (utilizing the pinkslips). The map is huge with many cities to drive in. The most intensifying quality about this game is the fact that a number of law enforcement pursue you, and they become tougher to escape the longer they chase you, being engaged by racers to helicopters. I won't compare this game to 'Carbon' as I do not want to post negative reviews about the game nor do I want to type another paragraph, just know that 'Most Wanted' IMO was a whole lot more fun.

good game

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.

NFS most disappointing AI

The game can be quite enjoyable to play, but extremely aggravating when 20 second lead times are erased because you're not allowed to win by that big of a margin. If you outsmart or out drive the computers cars you will see them granted acceleration speeds that can only be measured in Mach, and the cornering ability of a cheetah.

The recovery times of the AI's cars when tricked or pushed into obstacles seems like a huge hand follows them and quickly corrects any mishaps. When you find yourself losing because you nick some corner within 100 feet of the finish, but had been in the lead until then, you want to chuck the cd's out the window. I used to be a fan of NFS series, but this installment has me doubting I'll every purchase it again.

Great game!!

This game is way better than the previous NFS installments. The free movement and cop chasing really add depth to an otherwise boring driving game. I like the tweaks that you can apply to the cars, but that's really not the highlight of this game. It's the characters, graphics, sound, and cop chasing in a free-roaming environment that lend this game to be one of the best driving games to come to the PC!

The fact on Black

Ive read all the reviews and wonder where the info is coming from. Fact: There is free roaming in this game just like in Need for Speed Underground, though the roaming isnt required to get to races. Its still nice to drive around though. Fact: this "rubberband" AI catchup thing, can be TURNED OFF! Its in the options. The game pretty much is a mirror of Underground, maybe with better graphics, certainly more interactive traffic. The AI cops are smart, and use shortcuts to catch up. They even attempt to slow you down using objects or other cars. Biggest change, is the loss of Drag and drift races, thank god. You have sprints, circuits, tollbooth(time trial) and knock out... last place car gets knocked off per lap. Outside career you have quick race and custom, where you pick location, traffic etc. There is also challenge mode. This is many small races with a reward at the end. The blacklist are a bunch of high profile racers you take down in order. To reach them you must win races and defy authorities. From what Ive seen you can do races over and over earning $$. Tuning, custom designs and such are all still in the game. Changing your cars paint, look etc is important, not for fame, but to avoid the cops. Cops, that come out of nowhere in the middle of races. You are also allowed to listen to the police frequency, which at times is quite funny. All in all, this game is better than Underground and if you are new to the series, this is the one to pick up.

The love child of Need For Speed Undergound 2 and Hot Pursuit

With this game you get the best of both worlds. The customization of Underground 2, and the running from the "Fuz" of Hot Pursuit.

The gameplay, sound, graphics, and replay value are all top notch. Just make sure that you breathe when you are in the middle of a level 5 police chase.
