Need for Speed: Most Wanted

After playing through Need For Speed Hot Pursuit for the PS3 a few times I decided to buy Most Wanted.It's an excellent game. The graphics are beautiful and the city is huge.Once you collect a few cars by finding them throughout the city the game gets easier.The boss battles (Most Wanted Races) are fun, they are challenging but not frustrating.Criterion makes some great Need For Speed games.I know Criterion is taking a break from making racing games right now, but I hope they come back and make another Need For Speed soon :-)

Fun! For a while

Initially fun to play, but novelty wears off fairly quickly. Graphics & design are awesome! Cars are responsive to ride and its cool out-running the cops. There are zero human beings in the streets which makes the experience a bit odd. There are some birds though (the flying kind). I think this game is aimed at younger players. Not a very realistic simulation but still enjoyable. Shame there's no split-screen for 2 players

Item came a bit dirty, game case has a slight crack along spine, but game disc seems to run alright. The packaging was great, but the product was a bit worse than I expected.

Lacking, but a good casual game

Lets face it, the Need for Speed franchise is declining and this title is another installment which I didn't enjoy. When I saw this title pop up, I was expecting a refreshment to the Most Wanted game which was amazing when it was released.With Criterion's background, you'd expect this game to be nothing less than awesome. Yet, you're let down by the lack of creativity this game has to offer. Yeah, you might like showing off your top speed or quick time on an event - but where is the story, the real Most Wanted, the games that spent money to make money!It is a cheap slapped together game which entertains the mass minds which only care about driving fast cars. Other than that, there is nothing else engaging about Need for Speed Most Wanted.Play it for the cars, ... MoreLets face it, the Need for Speed franchise is declining and this title is another installment which I didn't enjoy.

One of the better of the series

Plenty of cars, plenty of challenges. This game will def keep you busy for awhile and on your toes as you try to better your opponents and out run the cops. Free roaming is back :) which in my opinion makes the game that little bit better. Cars arent just handed to you, you have to look for them. Race and win to upgrade your car to help with up coming harder races. I thought multiplayer was always best for 1st person shooter games, after having a jam online with this game, i didnt want it to end. Rather than just straight races, it mixes it up by randomly selecting things to do, from races to jump challenges to drift points and even getting the most "drive off the cliff" challenges :) if you enjoyed underground 1 and 2, undercover, youll dig this game. Even if you ... MorePlenty of cars, plenty of challenges. This game will def keep you busy for awhile and on your toes as you try to better your opponents and out run the cops.

Open World Awesomeness!

If you've been waiting on a great driving game for the Vita, this is it. Games like Asphalt Injection were a decent appetizer for those who like racing on the go, but limited you to linear racing with average graphics. NFS Most Wanted for Vita is an open world driving game that takes full advantage of the Vita's processing power and crisp OLED screen to deliver a beautiful near PS3 experience to Sony's new handheld. Whether you've played the newest console version or not, you'll be amazed at how much of this huge game they were able to cram into the Vita and pleasantly surprised to see how well the Vita can handle such a large open world experience while sacrificing very little in the way of visual quality. You can explore the vast expanse of Fairhaven through the ... MoreIf you've been waiting on a great driving game for the Vita, this is it.

NFS Most Wanted for Vita is an open world driving game that takes full advantage of the Vita's processing power and crisp OLED screen to deliver a beautiful near PS3 experience to Sony's new handheld. Whether you've played the newest console version or not, you'll be amazed at how much of this huge game they were able to cram into the Vita and pleasantly surprised to see how well the Vita can handle such a large open world experience while sacrificing very little in the way of visual quality. You can explore the vast expanse of Fairhaven through the city streets, industrial landscapes and winding country roads to the free wheeling interstate highways to test your pedal-to-the-metal racing and inner criminal cop fleeing abilities. There are loads of ramps to be jumped, billboards to be crashed, gates to smash, tons of hidden cars to find, races to conquer and speed cameras to record how fast you can drive all while earning you enough speed points to open up the next race in this NFS version of the Blacklist. All of your acheivements are posted to the Autolog to challenge your friends and show them who's best and you'll be alerted when one of your friends has beaten you in any event or one-upped you in any acheivement.This game also doesn't buy into touch screen controls just for the gimmick of it. They stick to traditional twin stick and button mapping for a true console experience. I love the Vita and all of it's capabilities but I don't really care for a game that pulls you out of the experience just to make use of the front or rear touch controls simply because it can. It works great in games like Little Big Planet, but I prefer games like NFS to stick to the more traditional route. The only thing I've noticed either touch screen used for in this game is the "touch to start" at the game's intro screen, and swiping the rear touch to change the in-game song playing.To me the only draw back of this entry on both the Vita and console versions is the lack of car customization found in the earlier NFS games. I really like personalizing my cars but this entry falls short of that feature. You can upgrade your engine, tires and nitrous and while they do offer some sort of body upgrades, I didn't notice any physical change to my car at all when I upgraded to the aero body. The police chases are on par with NFS but not quite as in depth as in Hot Pursuit yet still engaging enough to keep the fun going. To me those are easy to forgive and with everything else this entry has to offer makes this is a must have for NFS fans and Vita owners alike.

The Excellent product.

I have bought exact same game from EA. But unfortunately, i could not play the game more than 3 hours after installed to my PC and whole system was down. Because ORIGIN is some kind of PC viruses , I believe. I have played this game almost 40 hours without any problem. This is why this product is excellent because i do not have to install ORIGIN.

The game was advertised to be like new but had significant damage to the plastic wrap that secures the cover art in place. I consider this to be false advertising. The game does play without any issues though.
