    It alternates between frustrating and exhilarating. The courses all look incredible, but also all look the same.

    Need for Speed Most Wanted Mobile is not as good as the console version. No free roaming and a clumsy control scheme: Real Racing is still the king on iOs and Android platforms.

    If you can fight through the lack of variety and questionable design decisions, Most Wanted mobile is decent little companion to the full retail release. It might not be the best racing game on the mobile market, but if you're hurting for virtual driving on the go, you should think about picking it up.

    Superficial tuning, an unbalanced difficulty level: Aside from the visuals this as average an arcade racer can get.
