MMGN: Need for Speed: Most Wanted U is a high-octane delight full of motoring mayhem, a vibrant landscape and the prefect garage for an arcade racer. With a fantastic competitive streak, thanks to the refined Autolog system that compares your every move against your friends, it’s the same great game we saw last year, shifted to Wii U. All of the control options work well, but I prefer the Pro Controller over the GamePad. Unfortunately there are too many added assists to help lesser skilled players -- who apparently play on Wii U -- and they diminish some of what makes Most Wanted most enjoyable, so I suggest all players ignore them and enjoy Fairhaven by car, not menu, as it is meant to be seen.
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.

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.
I really like this game. The graphics are great and it plays well. My only real issues are that the cars handle like crap when you first get them until you've pimped them a little and the game offers you very little direction - you kind of get dumped in Fairhaven and the game goes "Here you go, seeya!"
