What I like about the need for speed games are that all the controls are the same so if you can drive on one you can drive on all. I started out on need for speed underground 2 and switched over to most wanted without any problems. This game is fun because it takes a while to beat even if you play it hours on end.

Freaking Awesome

In my opinion, most people don't really want to pay the $50 firsthand for a new game is because in case they don't like it or just don't have the money/are cheap. I'm one of the cheap people. However, I got this game, and I can hardly quit playing it. I've only had it for a few days and it's insane. I've been a big fan of the NFS series, although I'm not too crazy about Hot Pursuit 2. Just something about it, I don't know. But when I started playing this, it just makes me more in tune with the game. I love the aspects of customizing the cars and the variety of races as well as the infractions one can get during the pursuits. The ONLY thing that I don't like about the game is that the performance tuning isn't like the set up in NFSU2. That is my only problem. These games have caused me to have an interest in the older cars and dream of having one of them for my own. This is a great game and definitely a must-have.

pretty good racing game

The amount of cutscenes is low, for some reason. Other than that, Need for Speed Most Wanted gives us mostly fast-paced racing action that you are sure to come back to again and again.

The difficulty is the main problem with the game. Cars can come out of nowhere and get in the lead in no time at all, even if you think you're fully in the lead. It's not really fair and that's the only problem I have.

Pick up this excellent racing game to see how driving around can be a lot of fun.

wickedly AWSOME

Excellent follow up game for those who've player the prior Need for speed:Underground. This is a far better game (in my opinion) than the latest Need for Speed: Carbon.

My favorite game of all time

Wow, I can play this game for hours on end. It's just awesome. So many different things to do. The police chases keep you on the edge of your chair and the good ones can go on 30 minutes to an hour of adrenaline infused joy. Everyone I have ever let play this game has loved it. The only thing that I see getting better over time is the graphics which I think are fine on the original Xbox version but will be fun to see improve with technology. Hopefully they won't ruin the game in the process. When I think of how much incredible play time this game has given me and to think back to the days of pumping quarters into arcade games, the value of this game is truly amazing.

One tip, if you are in career mode and hate getting penalized every time you have fun and get busted in a police chase, just shut off you xbox during the video of clip of you getting hand-cuffed. Your game will still remember the progress of where you were in your career before starting the chase but will not acknowledge or penalize you for getting busted.

Great addition to the NFS family

A great game. One of the last great ones of the NFS lineup in my opinion. The graphics are awesome in HD. The game play is fairly decent too with a few obnoxious bugs, like invisible corners on walls for instance. The racing is fun with lots of variety in races and the options to tweak and upgrade your car are pretty abundant. The game is very fun, but can be very frustrating. If you're going to buy this game I recommend buying a spare controller just in case :)

Gr8 Game!

I think this game is absolutely awosome! The car are semi-customizeable (however you spell it) the biggest downer was that there is NO SKYLINE. What a bummer. If you love street racing with all the custom stuff i would suggest underground #2 but if you just njoy the sprit of racing then get this game. A main problem with this game is that it has too many limits. You can do everything that you can do in underground and underground 2. Hope u njoi!

amazing graphics and gameplay

I bought this game new, and believe me it is worth it. The graphics are amazing. people say it's worse than nfs underground 2 because there's not enough customization in the game, but you really don't need to change your backlights, windshield, frontlights. But don't get me wrong, you can still custimize you car a lot.

Most racing games don't have a plot and you don't know why you're racing, but nfsmw is different. in this game you actually know what your doing.

replay value: three stars this is the reason i didn't give the overall 5 stars because the game is pretty easy to beat and once you bet it it isn't much fun to play.

Overall this game is a must buy for racers!!

Start Your Xbox Engines!!!

I seem to really know at times what a good racing game is really all about. Is it about the cars? Is It about the music? It happens to be all about the fun. Yet, at times it is hard to find a good racing game fun. That has definitely been the case with Electronic Arts, and their popular Need For Speed franchise. While the Underground series has showcased fairly well to all gamers, there are just some who feel that they are just missing some of the madness of the hot pursuit series that ended a couple of years ago. For all those racers, this might be your return to be fast & furious.

Need For Speed: Most Wanted for the Xbox is a wild and outrageous racing game that will surely knock you right off your fett. The object for you is to ride your automobiles, so you can become the most lethal speed demon alive. The game however fairs the similarity the Underground era had, where it all is showcased in one major city, and you can earn points to unlock improved engines and decals to customize your cars, and great cars like the Ford Mustang, the Porsche Carerra, Subaru Impreza WRX, and a Lambourghini as well. The graphics on the game are highly showcased well, with a lot of detail in the gameplay, while the music is deep and very well driven for the musical madman in you. The control is very easy to pick up at times, but you can easily adjust with each car you receive, and each track you unlock.

Still, like most video games, there are a few disadvantages to Need For Speed: Most Wanted for Xbox owners. One of the big ones is the career mode. At times, you'd have to play the same courses that were done before, and it shows that it is annoying. Also, the game is set in one big location, rather than a arrangement of areas, something for which fans of the Underground series know all too well.

Nevertheless, Need For Speed: Most Wanted for the Xbox is a great game for anybody who misses the hot pursuit era, or is just a big fan of driving games, than this is a must buy for you.
