Reviewer Nicholas Simonovski writes, "If I’m honest, downloadable content for racing games is rarely ever exciting. Most of the time, you’ll only ever receive a small bundle of cars, perhaps even a track or two, but nothing that really keeps your interest.
"Recently, Electronic Arts and Criterion Games released not one, not two, but three new DLC packs for their latest title, Need For Speed: Most Wanted. I remember watching the trailer for the “Deluxe DLC Bundle” when it was first uploaded a few weeks ago. A few seconds into the video, we saw the camera following Eddie’s Nissan Skyline R34 GTR from Need For Speed: Underground; from that moment on, I was excited for what was to follow. With fifteen new vehicles to tear up Fairhaven with, a whole new expansion to the city, new race modes and more speed cameras, billboards and gates to speed and crash though, the DLC surely does deliver."
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!
