This game is legendary and really changed the way people see racing games. It is action-packed and finds a way to entertain you from start to finish even if you don't like racing games. Legendary soundtrack, intense police pursuits, great vehicles and beautifully designed open-world are what this game has to offer. Great features to this game was the nitrous and the speedbreaker that really allowed endless possibilities on how to drive your car. Even beginners can look amazing driving their hot rods. This game gets you addicted on every event from circuit races, sprint races, lap-knockout races and drag races. There are also tollbooth and speedtrap events that tests your speed and driving skills.

Great features to this game was the nitrous and the speedbreaker that really allowed endless possibilities on how to drive your car. Even beginners can look amazing driving their hot rods. This game gets you addicted on every event from circuit races, sprint races, lap-knockout races and drag races. There are also tollbooth and speedtrap events that tests your speed and driving skills. The most entertaining event of the game however is the milestone events given by the 15 Blacklist racers. Milestone events are used to rack up your bounty by causing havoc on purposely-engaged police pursuits. During police pursuits you can complete milestone goals such as dodging a certain number of police roadblocks and spike strips, hitting a certain number of police vehicles, getting a certain number of cost to the state by hitting vehicles and damaging property and getting points on your bounty and committing infractions. However to be successful, you have to evade the police pursuits after completing the milestone goals for that pursuit also. To escape you can simply outrun the cops and use open-world map navigation to plan your escape or use pursuit breakers which are fragile objects around the city that you can use to immobilize police vehicles. Another great event to this game is the photo ticket milestone event which is to get a certain miles per hour. After you win enough races and complete enough milestone events and rack up enough bounty you can challenge a blacklist racer and if you beat them you can choose 2 slips that will range from impound strike, get out of jail free, extra cash reward, customizable and performance upgrades and the pink slip. The pink slip allows you to have ownership of the Blacklist racer's car. These slips are picked by chance but if you always want to get the pink slip turn auto-save off and challenge the Blacklist racer. If you fail to get the pink slip you just simply turn off your console and the start the game again from your last saved point and attempt to get the pink slip again. There are also a great number of cars that you can purchase with cash you earn in events at car lots around the city and you can also take your cars to car shops to upgrade them with customizable features and enhance their performance. The police pursuits are the aspect that receives most attention of this game and is really what the whole Need for Speed series is all about but racing is extremely fun too! Even if you find the racing boring the music from the game will keep you entertained. Some racing events will feature police pursuits that you will force you to outrun the cops after you win the race. Need for Speed features a great storyline where you are a protagonist that is on a journey to become the number 1 Blacklist racer and the Most wanted illegal street racer of Rockport city. Cutscenes are great and the game has a epic introduction and ending. The worst consoles to get this game is the PS2 and the gamecube which has horrible graphics and takes away the beauty of the game. The best consoles to get it on is the original Xbox and the Xbox 360 which is slightly better than the original xbox due to enhanced graphics but the police lights look much prettier in the original xbox. This game also changed the way we see police pursuits. Other Need for Speed games just require us to simply outrun the cops. This game requires you to create havoc during those police pursuits through milestone goals before outrunning the cops. This game has great online multiplayer and also has quick-play and challenge series where you complete 68 challenges that test your overall-skills. The 68th challenge is the hardest which forces you to survive a 30 minute police pursuit and then evading it after the 30th minute. This game features 5 heat levels where the cops get more aggressive and execute different tactics to stop you as you get higher in heat levels. The special heat 6 level happens during the final police pursuit in the story mode where you have to evacuate the city from a broken bridge and also makes it's appearance in the 68th challenge in challenge mode. This game also features a rap sheet that keeps track of all your records in police pursuits as well as the records of other blacklist racers. It is optional to break the records of the other Blacklist racers. In heat level 1 police civic cruisers chase you. Heat level 2 police civic undercover cruiser. Heat level 3 police state cruisers. Heat level 4 police state undercover cruiser. Heat level 5 police federal cruiser which has nitrous and can easily catch up to you in high speeds. Heat level 6 has police federal undercover cruisers and Rhino SUVS.

I like this version of the game as well as the original Most Wanted is because it is a legend and there are also some more bonus cars and an extra challenge series event at the bottom of the event list as well. What I don't like about the game and the original Most Wanted is that it has unfair annoying rubber-banding AI and when that issue kicks in, the AI opponents soon or eventually catch up to you, even when they have made a mistake before that causes them to slow down or stop their cars to a halt. I also don't like the drag races in the game is because some of them aren't straight lines and you can't change the traffic density level or even turn it off either. I was sure to make some progress in the game and I didn't beat career mode, but I'm doing my best and ...

I played Need for Speed Most Wanted back when it came out in 2005, and since then, it has been my favorite NFS title to date. It's the perfect marriage of Hot Pursuit style police chases and Underground style vehicle customization and fleshed-out plot. However, I first had the Nintendo GameCube version, which was lacking in the graphical quality department. Xbox 360s were brand new back then, so I didn't have one. Recently, I had been thinking about buying the newest NFS title, Payback, but the dismal reviews kept me away. I began thinking back to what the best NFS games were, and thought of how much I enjoyed Most Wanted 12 years ago. I no longer have the GameCube, so I couldn't play my original copy, but I do have an Xbox 360 now. So I bought this version. The ...

I began thinking back to what the best NFS games were, and thought of how much I enjoyed Most Wanted 12 years ago. I no longer have the GameCube, so I couldn't play my original copy, but I do have an Xbox 360 now. So I bought this version. The graphics are a huge improvement over the GameCube, and the controls are better too. Neither measure up to the latest racing games like Forza Horizon 3, but in 2005, the Xbox 360 version was definitely the one to have. The story is a lot cheesier than I remember it being, but I was 14 then, so of course it is. It's still enjoyable. The car selection (and customization options) compared to new racing titles like Forza is laughably small, but the cars included fit the tone the game (with the possible exception of the PorscheCarrera GT, an ultra-rare supercar that feels out of place in this outlaw street racing game, even among other exotics like Lamborghinis and Aston Martins). The game is in many ways just as good as I remember it being 12 years ago, and with the 360 version, it's even better. If you're looking to recapture Need for Speed's glory days, the Xbox 360 version of Most Wanted is the way to do it. *It's worth noting that this game will not work in an Xbox One. No backwards compatibility with NFS titles released on the 360 has been added to the One yet.
Having played this game on the ps2 format, throughly enjoying it, thought I'd give it a go on the xbox 360. Though the story & gameplay are much the same, the xbox version is superior in a number of ways. It's more colourful, greater background detail & overall lighting is different. There's alot more detail in the hazards on the road, and when it rains within the game realistic spray, skidding and flare. Glad I decided to buy it, thoroughly enjoyable & well worth the price, great fun.
For almost every NFS fan it always comes down to either Underground 2, Most Wanted, or Carbon. Lets start by the graphics, this is one of the biggest graphics jumps in the series, especially on PC cars looked stunning! If you do not wish to play the PC version, then Xbox 360 is easily your best bet, by far superior graphically and smoother than the PS2, Gamecube, and original Xbox versions. Going into career mode you notice how they use full motion video, which mostly turns out so bad in other games its funny. Somehow Most Wanted made this style look cool again with a great setting and background and not so bad acting! The story is the best in the series, is it a good story for a movie? No. Its as clich as it can possibly get. but its the way they immerse you into ... MoreFor almost every NFS fan it always comes down to either Underground 2, Most Wanted, or Carbon.

No. Its as clich as it can possibly get. but its the way they immerse you into the story with your car getting stolen, the usage of voice mail and text messages while progressing in the career, every time Razor sends you a message calling you sweetheart you just want to punch his face that much more The gameplay is fantastic, handling feels good, and the sense of speed on the highway is just awesome, shortcuts are everywhere in this game and its fun memorizing them to use them to your advantage. There is one big flaw in the gameplay, drifting, it feels like pulling a wardrobe on a rockysurface, the car just immediately loses all its momentum and control and thats probably the reason there are no drift races in the game. Cop chases are easily the most fun in the series, if not the most challenging, you will love dropping giant donuts on the police and running around in circles while the police just constantly crash each other and give you extra bounty. Challenge mode is very, very hard in the end and has a respectable 68 challenges, career mode is quite long as well, car lineup is awesome and varied, theres just so much to do in this game and I havent got bored of it not even after 14 years, its sad the reboot of this masterpiece was another hypercar riddled Burnout reskin Most Wanted never deserved that.
I had high hopes that this would be a decent translation of the 2005 NFS: MW. Unfortunately, it's not. Maybe because it's a cartridge there's less room for data. I admit, I've never had good luck with driving games on a portable; something about the stick just isn't sensitive enough (like a console controller). I loved the ps2 version. This is like a stripped down version. Definitely don't recommend and am glad this was Used (i said YES to good value cuz it's not worth more than $10). I didn't give the game much time cuz it was just failing in so many ways right off the bat.
Without doubt, NFS:MW is the 2nd-best arcade racer out there, just ahead of NFS:HP, barely behind Burnout Paradise: many consider the game to be BP2, as some features are copied (a good thing). The well designed and varied courses, locales, and terrain, that are exquisitely rendered things of beauty, are coupled with gameplay that is thoroughly enjoyable [caveat] once you're broken in. The game can easily frustrate, and does require practice as some skills important in the past become nearly vital this go-round - not only in races but in events that reward the player with important upgrades to the vehicles. Fortunately, the car handling mechanics are easily a match for BP.A brilliant departure from prior games (worthy of mandatory use from here on) is in ...

The game can easily frustrate, and does require practice as some skills important in the past become nearly vital this go-round - not only in races but in events that reward the player with important upgrades to the vehicles. Fortunately, the car handling mechanics are easily a match for BP.A brilliant departure from prior games (worthy of mandatory use from here on) is in collecting the vast assortment of vehicles - basic models are not earned, but discovered during FreeDrive, and more-or-less hijacked (peaceably). And what a collection - not only the normal inventory of near-fantasy drool-worthy vehicles, but some more ordinary cars, and only once before in on-road racers have I seen a pickup truck included. And also only once before has DLC so expanded this type game - not just an added (fun!!) location, but an excellent group of vehicles present and past (think Bond and Bandit among those).The flaws of near-perfect AI opponents and myopic cops are still present, but much improved - the AI vehicles aren't too adept at courses or quick to capitalize on mistakes; on the other hand, the cops still obsess, but here are borderline Keystone, which made it sometimes difficult but at the end more fun (20 minutes parked on the patio overpass at the pipe ramp, watching...). One other feature was the short intro preceeding each and every event - a few were watchable, some comedic, but many were exercises in graphic arts so nausea- or pain-inducing I had to look away until the race actually began; on the whole, an unnecessary variant.None of the events ever seemed impossible (never fully gave up on trying to advance - which is something I can't say for BP's Stunt Runs), but some were tortuously difficult, needing ridiculously numerous attempts and/or amounts of practice: a few locations made it just too easy to slide off into oblivion; some hot pursuits were problematic (partially resolved by watching online postings); a few of the races just needed some luck; the drifting events at first were hyper-frustrating, but after awhile some got to be favorite events.And the soundtrack - well, it's the first time I've ever parked just to listen to the music: some oddly curious yet still fitting choices (yes, I refer to Icona Pop), but nothing totally objectionable, and notable selections (The Who remixes, the Maccabees, and the Ambassadors) sent me searching online to download.To finish up (stop cheering), the game is a must for fans of arcade racing; nothing handicaps or goes missing for the non-online gamer; most certainly a keeper worth revisiting, a bargain at current prices, and worthwhile DLC that's not too expensive - get the package, not the bits and pieces.
If you've been waiting on a great driving game for the Vita, this is it. Games like Asphalt Injection were a decent appetizer for those who like racing on the go, but limited you to linear racing with average graphics. NFS Most Wanted for Vita is an open world driving game that takes full advantage of the Vita's processing power and crisp OLED screen to deliver a beautiful near PS3 experience to Sony's new handheld. Whether you've played the newest console version or not, you'll be amazed at how much of this huge game they were able to cram into the Vita and pleasantly surprised to see how well the Vita can handle such a large open world experience while sacrificing very little in the way of visual quality. You can explore the vast expanse of Fairhaven through the ... MoreIf you've been waiting on a great driving game for the Vita, this is it.

NFS Most Wanted for Vita is an open world driving game that takes full advantage of the Vita's processing power and crisp OLED screen to deliver a beautiful near PS3 experience to Sony's new handheld. Whether you've played the newest console version or not, you'll be amazed at how much of this huge game they were able to cram into the Vita and pleasantly surprised to see how well the Vita can handle such a large open world experience while sacrificing very little in the way of visual quality. You can explore the vast expanse of Fairhaven through the city streets, industrial landscapes and winding country roads to the free wheeling interstate highways to test your pedal-to-the-metal racing and inner criminal cop fleeing abilities. There are loads of ramps to be jumped, billboards to be crashed, gates to smash, tons of hidden cars to find, races to conquer and speed cameras to record how fast you can drive all while earning you enough speed points to open up the next race in this NFS version of the Blacklist. All of your acheivements are posted to the Autolog to challenge your friends and show them who's best and you'll be alerted when one of your friends has beaten you in any event or one-upped you in any acheivement.This game also doesn't buy into touch screen controls just for the gimmick of it. They stick to traditional twin stick and button mapping for a true console experience. I love the Vita and all of it's capabilities but I don't really care for a game that pulls you out of the experience just to make use of the front or rear touch controls simply because it can. It works great in games like Little Big Planet, but I prefer games like NFS to stick to the more traditional route. The only thing I've noticed either touch screen used for in this game is the "touch to start" at the game's intro screen, and swiping the rear touch to change the in-game song playing.To me the only draw back of this entry on both the Vita and console versions is the lack of car customization found in the earlier NFS games. I really like personalizing my cars but this entry falls short of that feature. You can upgrade your engine, tires and nitrous and while they do offer some sort of body upgrades, I didn't notice any physical change to my car at all when I upgraded to the aero body. The police chases are on par with NFS but not quite as in depth as in Hot Pursuit yet still engaging enough to keep the fun going. To me those are easy to forgive and with everything else this entry has to offer makes this is a must have for NFS fans and Vita owners alike.
First of all, the game is still extremely fun to play even after 15 years of new releases and new hardware. The far selection, albeit limited perfectly fits with the themes of the city and the feeling of being in the daylight and more sort of industrial and edgy feeling. The soundtrack is also great, bands like Bullet For My Valentine? Disturbed? Mastodon, even Celldweller... Great mixture of songs and genres, even if all I stated was metal. But there is one thing that can easily kill the game for someone like me... The big thing that for me, crushes it from being the BEST NFS is the rubberbanding, it is completely busted in this game, if you get any noticeable lead in this game, before you realize it, the AI will be right on your rear bumper again, for me around ...

The big thing that for me, crushes it from being the BEST NFS is the rubberbanding, it is completely busted in this game, if you get any noticeable lead in this game, before you realize it, the AI will be right on your rear bumper again, for me around Blacklist Rival #5, the game went from really fun to really frustrating, I probably selected the wrong cars, but come on, the AI with fast cars and rubberbanding...? Its a recipe for disaster. The pursuits themselves are quite fun really, the whole feeling of having the city in the palms of your steering wheel chasing after you, it is a great feeling but anything past heat condition 4 becomes an absolute nightmare to get away from, when you are trying to escape and start to get away, a Helicopter spawns, for example...Like rubberbanding, it is incredibly frustrating and can completely ruin the game late game when going for the late game pursuit milestones... The races themselves are fine, you got racing, lap knockout, tollbooths (basically time trial) and the WORST and most BS race type of them all... Drag Races...They are absolutely horrible, basically you are on a rail the entire time, the car following the set lanes for you, and you have to shift gears and swap lanes, its fine yeah? The problem occurs when it comes to the AI cars... Or traffic cars, they are put in places just to crash your car, oh and have I mentioned that if you hit a car too hard in a drag race you get totaled? Anyways, they turn into complete RNG and luck, trial and error also. Final word though, I know this review is quite negative for a 4* review... But honestly it is still top 5 in terms of Need For Speed games... Not the best IMO, but up there... The game is extremely frustrating, thing all the mid 2000s NFS titles were good at being... And the final thing I will say is that if you want a nostalgia trip, go ahead and pick it up, you wont regret it... Even after all the frustration of the rubberbanding and the Drag Races...
