The reasoning behind the Most Wanted name change is that EA has incorporated high-speed police chases back into the series. It’s a shame that I had to put in that little rant, because this game could’ve been excellent. I suppose if you’re an expert in the series already, then you’re already familiar with the process, but that doesn’t excuse the fact that newcomers will find this game more frustrating than fun. It’s nearly impossible to catch up, and the game is extremely unforgiving. A word of advice: don’t ever be anywhere but first. When you’re going top speed and hitting nitro for a speed boost in a max-tuned car, and a computer opponent still passes you on a straightaway without even using nitro, then there’s something horribly wrong.Īs a result, the game victimizes you for making a single mistake. The time has passed for such laziness in programming.

On the other hand, if you’re new to the series, it will turn you into a raving, homicidal maniac. If you are a hardcore fan of the series, then this game is sure to be the best thing since sliced bread. I ran into a peculiar conundrum while playing Need for Speed: Most Wanted: I couldn’t help but wonder exactly for whom I’m reviewing this game.
