3.0 out of 5 stars Fun at first, January 1, 2006
By 
Todd (St Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Need for Speed Most Wanted (Video Game)
I purchased this game hoping EA redeemed themselves for the junk they called Need for Speed Rivals. It's better than NFS Rivals, but Most Wanted still has many, many flaws.

The game starts out pretty fun. Once you get to around 7th or so on the blacklist, it starts getting pretty bad.

The first few races are easy wins. Then, it gets a bit more difficult, and around 7th on the list, the races just don't get difficult, but thanks to the terrible AI (the AI might actually be too good, thus making it terrible), they get almost impossible to beat. I love a challenge, but EA takes it too far. Don't forget the complete lack of realism in the game.

First of all, I don't think anyone at EA researched the cars in the game. In real life, in a race between a modded RX8 and an equally modded WRX STi, the STi would wipe the floor with the RX8. Not in this game. Want to beat the modded STi? Buy a stock RX8, you're almost guaranteed a win. An Adui TT is not faster than a Corvette. It has nowhere near the power of a Vette. But in this game, it's the other way around. The TT will beat the Vette. EA should have fixed this, make the cars in the game resemble the cars in real life.

Second, the AI never makes mistakes. While even the best players will spin out and crash occasionally, the AI cars rarley, if ever, crash or lose control.

Third, the cops in this game are extremley annoying. The cop cars have perfect handling and are always faster than you. Not only that, the cop cars have some dirty tricks to try to get you to stop. They'll force you into civilian traffic, they'll crash into you, anything. Most people want the game to be realistic. Now, I've never been involved in a high speed chase myself in real life, but I know that cops would never, ever force you into a civilian's car to get you to stop.

If the complete lack of realism isn't enough, here's more complaints:

1. Where did everything go??? The console versions of NFS Most Wanted have more cars, more tracks, free roam...everything. Most things were cut out for the PSP version. No free roam, fewer cars, a small selection of tracks, and other features are gone. I know that UMDs don't hold as much as DVDs, but if Rockstar can fit Liberty City on a UMD, EA could fit whatever city this game takes place in on a UMD and offer free roam.

2. The few tracks you have are very repetitive. I'd say there are 10-15 tracks, and around 100 races. You'll be seeing the same thing over and over again.

3. The soundtrack is rather dissapointing. If you like rap, its probably OK, but I despise rap, so I have to choose from the few rock songs there are. I've found the best soundtrack is muting your PSP and putting on your favorite CD. I wish EA would have taken advantage of the ability to transfer MP3s to your PSP and allow custom soundtracks.

So, what does the game do well?

1. The graphics are pretty good for a handheld. I'd say they're just slightly worse than the PS2.

2. Quick loading times. I've yet to see a loading screen last for more than 20 seconds or so.

3. If you don't count the terrible AI as a bug, this game has few bugs.

4. Great time waster. If you're bored and have your PSP with you, this will help pass the time as you attempt to beat the horrible AI.

So, is this game worth 50 bucks? No, it isn't. Maybe once the price drops down to 40 or 30, it would be worth it. But if you have $50 to spend and really want it, buy it for PS2, Xbox or Xbox 360. You'll be happier. But if you just want a good racing game for PSP, pass this up and take a look at Burnout Legends.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite PSP Racer!!!!, December 8, 2005
By 
Gus (Oak Creek, WI) - See all my reviews
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Need for Speed Most Wanted (Video Game)
I have not been able to put this game down since buying it a few weeks ago. I actually traded in GTA to get this because I was burned out on it from playing the 3 PS2 GTA games. I was not expecting this to be as good as it is. The graphics are nice and the sense of speed is great once you start upgrading your car. It is very cool having the cops trying to take you out while trying to win a race. This may not be up to par with the console versions but for a portable system it is very impressive.

3.0 out of 5 stars $tup!d AI kills this game, May 1, 2006
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Need for Speed Most Wanted (Video Game)
I've never felt so frustrated with a game like with this one. I'm usually too busy to write down a review for a product in Amazon, this is the main reason I'm lately buying games for the PSP, because I can pull out my PSP and play my favorite passtime (gaming) anywhere and anywhen. Still, I'm so angry right now that I decided to make the time out of sleep time to rant at EA and warn others about this game. I have to tell "Rivals" was a mediocre attempt, but I kind of understand it because was the first NFS for the PSP, and EA was probably rushing to get it out.

What about PSP NFSMW you ask? well the game is good in graphics, control and soundtrack, but there is one part of the game that really makes my PSP be glad its not a cheaper device, otherwise I'd have thrown it out the window from sheer frustration, the incredible stupid AI, specially the cops! I can't believe who in EA was the Project Manager or QA Manager for this game, the cops RAM straight into your car, push you into incoming traffic, they never miss a curve and their cars seem to run up to 500mph. This is stupid!! there is no other way to look at it. And it completely ruins the game, there is no sense of challenge here, it just makes you wish the next game includes a gun to fight back to these spychopaths.

This is a shame on EA, I think they recycled this AI code from a different game. Is there a patch to this game in the future? "Ethic and Common Sense v2.1 patch".
