IGN:As with all sandbox games the narrative is of your own making but this is even more true of Most Wanted. The side-effect is that it can feel aimless at times. If you desire structure, if you wanted a game to be meted out to you, you might find its instant freedom somewhat overwhelming. But Most Wanted is all about deviation and deviance. It’s the racing game for people who don’t tend to like racing games. You’re not punished for missing that apex or abandoning that nagging racing line. It’s undoubtedly one of the year’s most exhilarating experiences.
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.
How funny. You always say you don't like Nintendo games in general, yet you come here and tell us that some of its games are overrated.
I know. You can always tell someone who doesn't own a Wii U by their nonsense comments about the games they've never tried.
Well you always hear Nintendo fans saying they have such great exclusives and point to metacritic as a way of proving their point. I've seen enough of Mario to know that every single game is massively overrated and the same with almost all other titles.
Then somebody provides a list of 'great' games that sounds like a kindergarten book listing which looks a little like;
Fluffy Fox's Furry Knitting: 98%
Little Ducko's Egg Collector: 93%
PickyWickyWoo: 89%
GaGaGooGoo Princess Country: 91%
Now I know that none of these are real titles, but none of them would look even slightly out of place on the WiiU game list.
Every Nintendo game I've ever played (admittedly not that many), has been overrated in my opinion, so it's easy to extrapolate that onto other titles.
I know a lot of people love Nintendo and everything they do, but they just leave me cold.
When a Nintendo title launches, most sites leave the review to the resident Ninty fan (there's always at least one), hence the overrated scores.
Just my opinion of course, but that's how I see it.
@Angeljuice
First, I don't generally care what a title is called if it is getting Metacritic scores in that range. Why do you care? Because you're afraid of appearing childish in your peer group.
You've admitted you haven't played many Nintendo games - so you're a troll. I already knew that too, from your comments.
I actually feel a bit sorry for you. You need to come here and troll, comment on things you've never even tried - all because you're immature and insecure. You'll eventually grow out of that.
I bet you dont have a wii u and you also had a bad day,and because of that you wanted others to waste their time replying to you...
You don't like Nintendo games, that's it.
But it's a bit ironic having you here and saying that Wii U games are overrated, because, again, you don't like Nintendo games in general, so isn't funny to you all this situation? Of course you should seem odd that people like Nintendo titles.
On the underrated side , I would add ZombiU. Loved the sound design and music,(and really, a zombie apocalypse would be rather "unbalanced", no? Lol..)
Also, I really enjoy 007 Legends, gamepad integration is very well done!
"Then somebody provides a list of 'great' games that sounds like a kindergarten book listing which looks a little like; "
Condescending much?
For any game that was trash on the WiiU, it got a low score. To your logic Sonic Boom should be an 8+/10. It's been blasted to below 5/10.
How insecure are you?
You're just mad because Fluffy Fox's Furry Knitting is much better than Bloody Gritty Pew Pew Pew.

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.
well its cheaper on the wiiu, and uses the gamepad.
i have to get this for vita, Origins was awesome as well
Consumer beware the vita version doesn't have all the content the console version has.
@gamer42 Ubisoft said they're going to release a free DLC with the missing content.
Even if the vita version wasn't going to get patch it still a great version since its basically the same as consoles but with portability.
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.
"Most Wanted U is perhaps the most capable version of that sandbox, [...], but in the process it may have removed some of the challenge"
Casualization, in other words.
There is nothing casual about MostWantedU i have it and the co-op mode isnt used in challeges and as far as graphics go it looks way way better than 360 version ect as every review states except IGN.
Name like Starfox and your blind fanboyism your opinion doesnt count on this matter lol "looks way better" lol yeah sure it does lol It may look better but "way better" lol your fooling yourself and the only reason it looks better has nothing to do with the wiiu its just an old game and theyve had time to play with it on wiiu and optimize it because they didnt have to rush it out like they did on ps3/xbox when it was released.
Go chk out the re release of the turn Ninja Gaiden Wiiu no longer has the so called definitive version lol Its all about money and pr talk and selling old games. They add some stuff to Wiiu version and act like it couldnt have been done on ps3/xbox which is total bs lol
But anyway guys enjoy your game. Its a good game i played it awhile ago lol
