Gamescom 2012: Need for Speed Most Wanted hands-on (HG)

Hooked Gamers writes: "Criterion’s Steve Cuss is a giant. There, I said it. Those who have met him might be confused by that statement and for good reason. He’d be average sized if he were a woman really, and no, he does not possess the booming voice you would expect from a giant either. If anything, he has a bit of a squeaky voice but he commanded it like a general at this year’s Gamescom. Well into the second day of shouting instructions over the loudly roaring engines of Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Steve’s voice sounded as fresh as if he had just started. Respect."

This sounds more like Burnout then it does Most Wanted. I like Burnout, but its a different game then Most Wanted. Many people have been waiting on a true Most Wanted sequel for a long time and this sounds like its just gonna miss the mark. I haven't heard any mention of customizable cars, which was one of the best parts in the first game. Saving my junkman parts to build a beast of a car was awesome. Custom paint, rims, and decals are all necessary for a sequel. Are there going to be the 1 on 1 black list races so you can win new cars and climb the list to become the most wanted? To me these are just a couple of things that should be in a sequel that wears the badge of Most Wanted. If not, it should just be titled Need for Speed: Burnout!
