A great additions to the NFS Family June 4, 2008
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 :)
 awsome fun May 18, 2008

This game is great and very fun, and the cops chase after you to even more better this is a fun game the story mode is fun the everything is great in this game. I wonder why they did'nt put cops chaseing you in burnout revenge its a wide open space witch is more fectively for the police to chase you, oh well its still a fun game. This game full auto and burnout revenge arethe most destructuble raceing games ever in car raceing history, they both have great realistic graphic awsome turbo raceing speed relistic background and unique cars, all three desruction raceing games can you take the hype, but this is a fun game. I have this full auto and burnout revenge as my raceing games and all three of them are really fun i don't care witch is better cause i enjoy all three of them, there both high speed fun gameing raceing games not just raceing games there way beyoned just raceing especially full auto cause that game has guns you can use, shotguns, time bombs, and rocket launchers, thats what full auto have, but this is a great fun game.

racing game
best racing game ever April 20, 2008
i am usually not into racing games too much. but this got me hooked really fast. the graphics are really good and the storyline is alright as well. the best part are the police chases. shaking off the cops take some real skill, and really gets your adrenaline going.
i would highly recommend this game. try it out...
5 stars.
very frustrating, but fun April 15, 2008
Most Wanted places you in the shoes of the racer you controlled in NFS: Underground 2, who has left Bayview and moved to Rockport. This time around you are trying to be the most notorious and revered racer in the city and on the city police's "Blacklist". This blacklist shows who the top 15 street racers are in terms of won races and police chases. Basically, you choose a car to start with (and naturally it isnt going to be the best car in the world), do a few races & earn money from them, then go and upgrade your car. From there you proceed in police chases to raise your bounty. While in these police chases you must pass "milestones" - these milestones can be anything from hitting into a car to having a 20 minute police chase. Eventually you can challenge a member on the blacklist if you meet their criteria (they usually require you to win a certain number of races, have a certain bounty price, You can upgrade almost everything on your car from visuals to performance. I mean you can buy several types of body kits, spoilers, rims, paint jobs, vinyls, etc. In addition, you can buy better motors, nitros, superchargers, etc. On top of that, you can "performance tweak" your car. This means you can lower your ride height, raise your torque poundage, aerodynamics, and much more to give you the upperhand in a race.
The police chases are pretty cool, but get almost impossible later on. You start off at level 1 with just police cruisers following you, as you gfo on you will get police copters and police corvettes chasing after you using tactics like making you fishtail or boxing you in. They will even lay down spike strips and road blocks to slow you down.
The graphics in this game are beautiful. The cars look amazing, the environments look top notch, the weather effects are brilliant. The only downside to the grpahics is the sun. Sometimes they will place the sun directly in your eyes and you can't see your car or the road.
The AI in this game is a bit frustrating. It starts off real easy, but then gets REALLY hard as you progress. When you reach something like the 3rd guy on the Blacklist (Ronnie I think his name is) the races become almost unbeatable and you really have to use tactics, strategy, and proper driving mechanics to get ahead of the game.
The music in this game was off the chain, and in a good way. They had great artists like Static-X, MC Hush, Celldweller, Disturbed and many more to help you get pumped for the race or police chase. Obviously there were some bad songs, but whatever. The cars sounded great as well as the explosions and crashes. Downside to the soudn was for some reason when driving in 1st person on a standard audio TV you can't hear your engine making it hard to judge when shifting while driving manual.. but when on surround sound you can hear it just fine, but can't hear the car when in 3rd person. Meh. The cutscenes were ridiculous, but definitley welcomed. It was done with real people acting as characters in the game and helping you through the story. When you got arrested by the cops they showed your character getting roughed up by the police in interesting ways like slamming you onto the floor and pushing your face into the black top.
X-Box live races are pretty intense but lags alot... I mean, you'll be driving neck-to-neck with someone when their car will disappear for a few seconds and re-appear ontop of your car for no reason.
Oh and another thing, you can create your own cars for fun. By this I mean you can choose any car you unlocked in the career (not just the cars you drive, but any car you have unlocked) and give them your own customization for free and race them on X-Box Live. It was fun making a nasty Subaru WRX STi and racing it against a Lamborghini Gallardo online.
Overall, Most Wanted was a pretty fun and challenging game but it's AI was hard to overcome later on in the races and some small glitches (like hitting into a road block of police cruisers in a Ford GT doing 200mph and stopping dead after hitting one car) kept the game from being higher. I do suggest you at least give the game a try since it is easily accessable to beginners and advanced gear heads.
