"The Need for Speed franchise has been the home of many riveting memories in gamer's careers since its debut in 1994 on the 3DO. Need for Speed: Most Wanted looks to take the franchise to a level in which no other racer has reached with a collection of incredible gameplay, stunning open-world environments, endless customization and more."

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!
Before I got into sim-racing(ish) games like Forza and GT I played a lot NFS: Most Wanted. I hope the next one will be the same feel, with about the same physics. Arcade gameplay with a feel of NFS: Shift. I hope you wont be able to use NOS with handbrake to corner in 230 mph.
and there goes that crappy ass open world racing, which #!@$ing sucks for me.
