This review is hardest one we’ve had to write all year bar none and the reason for that grandiose statement is quite simple; we love Need for Speed: Most Wanted, yet if we’re honest with ourselves it’s hard to see Criterion’s latest as anything other than a backward step for the franchise. You see almost every new component in this arcade racer has been tweaked from the genre-defining Burnout Paradise, while everything else just falls a bit flat.
