"At E3 2012, EA had an impressive lineup of titles that seemed to have continually gotten better with each new game that I saw. Most Wanted is a modern day re-imagining of arguably the best Need for Speed game ever released, Need For Speed Most Wanted.
Most Wanted seems to combine the best of both Burnout: Paradise and Hot Pursuit giving it a good chance of following in the same foot steps as Hot Pursuit."
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!
pretty bold racing title. Not sure if it's the "only" worthwhile racer, though.
I'm not into racers, but this interests me... I love Criterion and miss Burnout dearly.
Most Wanted was popular before...it will be popular again...
It seem like it will be the best one for sure, EA are lucky to have criterion on their side.
ps, Criterion make Black 2! please...
I just want EA to take the series back to Underground, they were the only Need for Speed games I liked personally.
