[EXOTICLEX]

Loved the first one.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

is there a car list yet?

 

[Platty]

Ughh, not a fan of the burnout games at all. But NFS did need a shake up.

 

[Hellz Manik]

They sure needed to shake things. Im a huge nfs fan but never ever really beat Most Wanted especially that BMW m3 GTR. I played it with the steering wheels and it was by far one hell of a ride. I truly cannot wait for this!

 

[speedy485]

Hopefully it's NOTHING like NFS:The Run. I was so pumped up for that game and it turned out to be absolute garbage.

Yeah?
I saw the demo at E3 last year and it looked like fun...

Picked this up today. Great game and the multiplayer is awesome!

[Natrix]

Picked this up for the Vita today as a part of the Target buy 2 get 1 free deal, haven't had a chance to play it though. May get it for the PS3 this week yet before the sale is over.

 

[Centurion]

This one has been getting some pretty good reviews.
I might have to pick this one up.

 

[speedy485]

So after playing this game extensively for 2 days, some of it's flaws are becoming more apparent.

This is basically a bare bones shut up and drive racer with licensed cars. Criterion did an excellent job with NFS: Hot Pursuit two years ago, but this year it's as if they tried to make a Burnout Paradise sequel and try to mix it with NFS: Most Wanted. The problem here is that there's not enough Burnout elements to call it a sequel, yet there's too much Burnout DNA to call it a NFS: Most Wanted game.

For those that played and enjoyed NFS: Most Wanted in 2005 and hoped that this game would be all that and more are going to be disappointed. For one, there is absolutely no car customization in this game. There are some minor upgrades, but nothing that will make your car stand out from mine. You can't even choose your car's color, although you can change it randomly in the insta-repair shops. Also, there is no option to customize or change the control settings. You can't even choose to manually shift your gears, which is an epic disappointment.

Another glaring flaw are the cops. They feel tacked on without having a real purpose. There is absolutely NO fear of getting caught. Nothing happens when you do. No loss of Speed Points, no loss of game progression, no loss of cars. It just simply puts you back to where you found the current car you are driving. This completely takes away from the thrill and fear of being chased down and trying to get away.

Overall the game is good, but I think the title of Most Wanted is misleading, as being most wanted doesn't mean a whole lot and there's no fear of being a criminal in this game.

Multiplayer is pretty good, but unfortunately the cops are absent from that. Not sure why. It will be intetesting to see what kind of DLC is offered in the coming months as Burnout Paradise had a lot for a long time.

Thanks for the feedback.
I really enjoy the Hot Pursuit style of gameplay.
In that game there was a fear of getting stopped by the cops... it would end your race.

I'm looking forward to the next installment of Hot Pursuit.

Also, there is no option to customize or change the control settings.

Actually you can change the layout of your controls.

I just did it and set it back to Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) settings.

More fun now

Just check the configuration screen and you will find Control Selection and go from there.

Well I definitely missed that, however there still is no option for manual gears. I can't fathom why any NFS game would omit that.

I've really been enjoying the game and according to my stats, I've driven 1200+ miles and have been playing more than 30 hours. I guess my take on the game is that it's a great racer, but they shouldn't have called it Most Wanted considering it doesn't share a lot of 2005's qualities.

Tons of stat tracking, though.

True!

Most NFS series had the option to shift in Manual.

NFS Pro Street even had an option for a Clutch button.

So clearly the PS3 and XBOX 360 controllers have enough bottons for it.

Or they might be just trying to replicate the sequential gearbox's, these newer cars have.

Yeah, it's a fun game, if it weren't for the Most Wanted List, it kinda reminds me of NFS Undercover.

At the moment I am halfway up the Most Wanted List.

Found quite a few cars too.
