Satisfies your need for speed

This is another successful installment in the Need for Speed franchise. You play a racer newly arrived in Rockport City, who loses his ride in a fixed race. To get revenge, you'll have to gain street cred and work your way up the blacklist, the 15 toughest racers in the city.

A good racing game needs solid controls and a steady framerate, and there's plenty of both in Most Wanted. Cars are varied and handle well, and the graphics maintain a high visual standard even when your car's at its top speed. You'll face numerous types of races in career mode, including the standard circuit, drag races, checkpoints, and sprints. The fun is in building street cred, which requires you to tangle with the fuzz and generally go crazy on the road (remember kids, drive safe in real life!). All of this is laid out on an open-ended city, the new standard for racing games. Adding to the polish is a fully licensed sountrack, and several videos with live actors that propel the story along (Josie Maran!!)

Most Wanted is definitely one of the top street racing games I've played, though it's hard to say if its the best. For example, the underrated Street Racing Syndicate takes into account real car damage when you race, forcing you to pony up for repairs if you drive recklessly. In contrast, Most Wanted magically restores your car to perfection after each race. It really depends on your preference, and how much realism you want (paying for car repairs, like in real life, is a pain). Street Racing Syndicate also features a more intricate upgrade system where each part affects individual cars differently, while Most Wanted sticks to the standard unlockables after every 'boss'. Both systems are fun, but definitely different.

If you enjoy fast cars but don't have the money to race em for real, Need For Speed: Most Wanted is a great way to get your thrill fix.

Need for Speed Most Wanted is Super

I love racing games...but this car game is slightly different than the normal racing games I play. It has to be one of the most intense racing type games I have ever played. It's only downfall, to me, was it's limited car selection (although it the ones it does have are all cool). Like any other car game, you win, get more money race harder people, buy faster cars, but the police aspect of this game is what makes it exciting, the racing is OK.

When I first heard aboyt this game I thought that it would rock. I am very disappointed. In underground and underground 2 they had great cars and many parts. This not so much and also most wanted only has expensive luxury cars or imports thet look hot but are not. Although I like the cop twist and unlike the first hot pursuit game electronic arts developed, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit, the cops follow even after the finish line. But to what extent to lose hot cars for better chases and fewer upgrade parts. If you wnat a pursuit game that rocks get this one, If you want to race with a car that you see in america do not buy this game

Good! Real Good
