5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Need for Speed yet!, March 13, 2006

By

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

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

This is definitely a game for racing fans and people who love tuning cars. In this game they actually have the exotic cars (Porsche, Lamborghini), which makes it even better. They also added cops in this game, which they never had in the previous Underground games.

Now to the game. In this game there are alot of cars. You can race from the old school muscle cars to a tuned up race car. And even the police have nice and fast cars. But they can be really tough at times (especially the SUVs).

The Storymode actually kept my interest throughout the whole game (unlike the others that were quite boring). There is a Blacklist that you must beat in order to become the #1 most wanted. In this Blacklist, there are 15 experienced Street racers that you must beat in order to get to the top. They each have their strengths, so it can get quite challenging at times. Another cool but at the same time annoying thing is when the cops interfere in the middle of a race and once you beat the race, you have to escape them. So it's very interesting and fun.

As for the gameplay, it's actually easy to get used to, even though it may seem difficult. It's also not complicated (PS2 version), it's mainly like the previous Need for Speeds. So you'll learn it like after the first race.

The graphics are one of the things that caught my attention. It's just so smooth and seems real. And the videos also seem very realistic and are always fun to watch and can be funny (when you get busted by a woman).

Overall, there's not much else to say except, go out and buy this game if you love racing games. Oh yes, and buy the Black edition!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Hardest NeedforSpeed Game yet!, January 2, 2006

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

I just bought the Need for Speed most Wanted game and it's great. It was very hard after blacklist number 11 but as hard as it came even to the challeges all the way up to Black list 1 was worth every dollar. I wish I would of bought the Black Edition in stead of the regular version. It excludes you from 4 cars and I really looked forward to getting the Corvette C6.R at 100% but to realize it's for the Black Edition only along with the Camero 67 and so on But the BMW M3 GTR I thought was the best in the game. So if I were you if you want the full 100% of Most Wanted get the Black Edition don't get the regular version.

5.0 out of 5 stars MOST WANTED is the best I've seen so far!!!!, November 29, 2005

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

EA Sports has taken in demand racing to a whole new level. We all agree that NFS Hot Pursuit 2 was so hot because of the cops. Lets just say that NFS: Most Wanted has taken the cops and the combination of Street Racing (NFS: Underground 2) to a whole new level. I'm talking about the capabilities of modding Murcielagos, and McLarens, etc... Being chased by at least 5 cops (depending on your heat level) supercharged Heavy Duty SUV's and not to mention a helicopter that just doesn't go away is intense!!! Who ever buys this game will be having hours of fun!!! I surely did!!! "For The Real Gamer - 100% Complete is a TRUE Gamer, don't give UP!!:-)
