Another fantastic racer. Bag of Games writes that following as a spiritual successor to 2008’s Burnout Paradise, Need For Speed: Most Wanted (not to be confused with the game of the same title back in 2005) just might be Criterion’s best arcade racer ever.
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted debuted in 2005, with the Xbox 360 version being the first then next-generation title in the franchise.
This game was awesome! I remember reloading my save if I didn’t get the pink slip from my blacklist rival
Paul writes - "EA know a good thing when they see it, and for multiple years November was Need for Speed month. In a break from the usual routine, I'm going to be looking back at two games here, released in 2005 and 2010 respectively. The earlier game is Need for Speed: Most Wanted, which has the distinction of being one of the very best in the franchise. The second game comes from 2010, and is Need for Speed Hot Pursuit; which I'll talk about just as the Remastered version of the game has hit the stores."
I completely adore this game! In fact its probably my favorite racing game. I recently dusted off my xbox 360 to play Most Wanted 2005. Still a great game, though I do not remember there being such horrible performance. Like massive frame-pacing issues. screen tearing, latency. If any game ever truly needed to be remastered, it this one for sure!
I think the best NFS yet. However in comparison to the first MW, it lacks visual customization.
Also the map seems smaller, maybe just me.
Ranking up the list of being Most Wanted is a little too easy.
Finally, the race tacks are too few. Despite the wide range of vehicles many must partake in the same racetracks over and over again. They don't even bother to reverse the tracks. The first MW actually contained a good range of tracks to race through the city. This way things didn't seem tedious.
