It's not quite the smooth, finely tuned speed machine it could have been, but Need for Speed: Most Wanted is still an exciting racer.
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!
What the hell is it with reviewers slamming good games lately? Most Wanted fixes the stiffness of Hot Pursuit's car handling, and although cops can sometimes be tedious - they always were, ever since the first Most Wanted.
The only problem I have with it is that it seems the PC version wasn't optimized quite well. Other than that it's the most fun I had in racing games since Burnout Paradise.
CVG complained that it's too 'cluttered'!! Imagine that , a city being cluttered!!
gamespot is really harsh on their reviews.. This game is nothing less than an 8 & i have the vita version so the console version must be a 9
Don't worry guys, there's always Forza Horizon. Hehehe. ;)
@blaze929, errr yes I am, its called Midnight Club LA!! HAHAHAHA
