My favorite game of all time Wow, I can play this game for hours on end. It's just awesome. So many different things to do. The police chases keep you on the edge of your chair and the good ones can go on 30 minutes to an hour of adrenaline infused joy. Everyone I have ever let play this game has loved it. The only thing that I see getting better over time is the graphics which I think are fine on the original Xbox version but will be fun to see improve with technology. Hopefully they won't ruin the game in the process. When I think of how much incredible play time this game has given me and to think back to the days of pumping quarters into arcade games, the value of this game is truly amazing.
One tip, if you are in career mode and hate getting penalized every time you have fun and get busted in a police chase, just shut off you xbox during the video of clip of you getting hand-cuffed. Your game will still remember the progress of where you were in your career before starting the chase but will not acknowledge or penalize you for getting busted.
Great game Excellent follow up game for those who've player the prior Need for speed:Underground. This is a far better game (in my opinion) than the latest Need for Speed: Carbon.
Another great NFS Just like the last few Need For Speed games, this is awesome. There are plenty of fun race modes and the run ins with the police are very fun. NFS made a great change from Underground 2 by giving the player the option to jump straight to the race instead of driving around the large map to find the next race (which you can also do if you choose). The rides aren't as customizable as Underground, but that's not really what this game is about anyway. The graphics are great, especially the cut scenes and the sound effects are cool, too. The acting, as always, is terrible, but who really cares, that's not why we play NFS. I've gotten many many hours of game play out of this one, and I'm still only about half way through the game. This is a great buy for any racing game fan.
wickedly AWSOME i first rented this and loved it so i had to get it and when i found out how cheap this was i fell out of my chair!! i defnitly rate this 100% bad ass
pretty good racing game The amount of cutscenes is low, for some reason. Other than that, Need for Speed Most Wanted gives us mostly fast-paced racing action that you are sure to come back to again and again.
The difficulty is the main problem with the game. Cars can come out of nowhere and get in the lead in no time at all, even if you think you're fully in the lead. It's not really fair and that's the only problem I have.
Pick up this excellent racing game to see how driving around can be a lot of fun.
