3.0 out of 5 stars Id save my $40, November 24, 2005

This review is from: Need for Speed Most Wanted (Video Game)

I got the Most wanted for GC before i got this version, and was soon disappointed in this version. I had been expecting much better graphics for what I paid. Most of the effort in making this game was put toward the length of it, the number of races in the career. The phyics could have been better as well, hitting a wall during a turn at the wrong place can totally stop your car, wasting precious seconds. And the same with accidently hitting another racing car, or traffic car. Personally I would have saved my money had I known this was what the game was like. To be fair, Ive gotten rather far, but its taken a while to get used to overcoming all the obsticles in this game.

This review is from: Need for Speed Most Wanted (Video Game)

The Need For Speed series is not good for the DS. I'll start by saying graphics are HORRIBLE! The races are very slow, even though the screen says you are going 140 mph. There are only about 4 upgrades for your car, and 5 for extirior looks! Your car handles HORRIBLE, making it impossible to win any races! Also, this game is not compatible with the touch screen! 1 star.

This review is from: Need for Speed Most Wanted (Video Game)

After two hopeless hours of gameplay, the game does not deserve a full review. I wish the cartridge was reusable as digital camera memory!

Pros:
1) You can customize the door panel graphics of the car.
2) You could unlock the Ford GT, maybe if you didn't own a copy of Mario Kart DS and were really bored.

Cons:
1) No DS Download and play option, only works with other NFS MW owners.
2) Graphics under par for the series.
3) Gamplay engine is hard to control.
4) Customizing is limited and just a repeat of other Need For Speed releases.

You have a choice, try some other racing game.
