Reviewer Steve Wright writes, "First things first: just because EA has done what most publishers do (or, does Nintendo request this?) and slapped a U at the end of Need for Speed: Most Wanted, it doesn’t mean we’re reviewing an entirely new game. As such, Nicholas’ original Most Wanted review stands.
"That being said, I am not a hardcore racer like Nicholas is, and as such, I think I’m a little more forgiving of Most Wanted‘s mechanics than he was. I play all racing games the same: hold the gas button down all the way, remember to use the brake occasionally, and pray that I don’t hit things as I frantically steer. It’s fun, for me.
"Now that we’ve got the formalities out of the way, let’s review the Wii U-centric changes to Most Wanted."
In this special episode, Shawn Long of Nintendo Enthusiast takes a look at 5 Underrated Wii U games that he feels should be in every system owners collection.
In my opinion, the list of overrated WiiU games is far, far longer.
Mike from mii-gamer:
Need for Speed: Most Wanted U is a superb game; one that is thoroughly addictive and superbly crafted. As it currently stand, Most Wanted U is the best racing game on the Wii U and an outright amazing game, not to the credit of the console, but to the talent of the developer, Criterion.
Wii U weekly deals and sales from eShop, Amazon, BestBuy, Frys, Gamefly, Newegg, Bullmoose and Cowboom.
I would get it on Wii U, Technically it was an exclusive for the Wii U so thats the system that has the best version because of the gamepad.
The disagrees on the Wii U version being better are fanboys, and that's fine. All versions are great BUT the Wii U is better because of the gamepad. Common the entire game was initially designed with the gamepad in mind. Delustional fanboys. Why can't you just let a couple of games be better on Wii U.
