    This game is one of my personal favorites. The high speed police chases, the blacklist racers, and those phycho pathic taxi drivers that always seem to screw up a race for me >:( . A very good game... Most people say you can't disable the high speed blur thing, but you can. I forget how but its disabled for me and i can play fine.

    Its a great and almost perfect game, just one or tweaks here and there, and it could be a perfect racing game. i do miss the night time driving, and the ability to be the law enforcement, but still a great game.

    Far superior to it's latest version by Criterion. Better story, better visuals even though the graphics are slightly weaker, full tuning, great variety of cars and more realism. It was just a perfect balance, although it could use a bit more realism in certain parts, this game cannot be classified as an arcade-racer unlike the utterly-rubbish Criterion version.

    This game is my childhood. Need for Speed Most Wanted is probably the best streetracing game I've ever played. It has good story, amazing gameplay, decent graphics by its release time, and great police mode. And we shouldn't forget the car customization, which in my opinion offers the best tuning options I've tried. Very nice.

Cops are chasing you, you can race against bosses and you fight t[he way to get your car back. Beginning is kind of boring but the rest of the game is awesome! Also there are some areas you got to unlock liked in Need For Speed Underground and I like it. The only thing that I might not really like is that when you trying to get enough objectives complete and then you got to beat the boss, when you get to the top ten it's getting boring that you being chased by the cops and when you finally escape, you got to do it again because there are not enough points.… Expand

Gaining heat = more roadblocks, more aggressive cops and crazy manoeuvres are required + speed. Getting in trouble with the cops were awesome.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Need For Speed Most Wanted is in my opinion the best Need For Speed game with excellent graphics that have aged a decade well, lots of crazy f***ing s*** with the police, and an excellent story where character development is deep. Even though NFS 2015 is my favorite game in the franchise, I don't think it could beat the classics.

    The game starts out with antagonist "Razor" who cheats and steals your car. In order to get your car back, you need to go through 14 other bosses in which you can take there car fair and square. Characters are in-depth and usually call you through SMS and FMV cutscenes. The game never feels repeatative and you always have something to do.
    Pros:
    Excellent Aged Graphics
    In-Depth Storyline
    Fun Driving
    Intense Police Chases
    Over the top action

Черт же побери, это самый настоящий бриллиант своего времени! Да, конечно пришлось подшаманить игру некоторыми модами, как минимум на широкоформатное отображение, с технической стороны конечно в наши дни игра выглядит удручающе. Благо, это лечится. Но вот что касается всего остального, это просто великолепно. Даже сюжет, при всей своей клишированности, выглядит очень самобытным и по своему очаровывающим. Поймал себя на мысли, во время прохождения, что это по сути самый настоящий гоночный вестерн, причем до сих пор единственный в своем роде. Геймплей, кроме как ураганным, больше ни как охарактеризовать не могу. Это лучшие погони, что игровая индустрия когда-либо дарила. Про саундтрек даже говорить что-то нет смыла, он просто потрясащий, а треки оттуда до сих пор находятся в моих плейлистах. Игра полностью прошла мою проверку временем. Это шедевр, особенно на фоне очень слабых современных NFS.

    P.S: Я конечно многого не понимаю, и возможно рыночек такое не примет, но для меня загадка, почему EA до сих пор не сделали ремастер и прямое сюжетное продолжение (имеется ввиду продолжение уже NFS: Carbon, ибо сюжет MW продолжался именно там). Как по мне, это был бы настоящий взрыв, и NFS-комьюнити дружно оргазмировало в унисон уже только с одного анонса подобного проекта.    … Expand

    Все еще лучшая игра в серии. Отличные погони с полицией, возможность выиграть машины противников и качающий саундтрек.

    One of my all time favorite games of all time! Gameplay is so fun when you're at +300km/h while the cops are chasing you and the only thing you feel is SPEED. The soundtrack is just amazing and the graphics still look great. I'll never stop playing this game.

    Лучшая игра в жанре гонок. Это легенда и шедевр. Прошло уже больше 15 лет, а придумать игру лучше так и не получается.

    Це найкрутіше частина серії need for speed, a також одна з найкращих ігор про перегони. І мабуть найкраща про аркадні перегони в стилі "поліція проти вуличних гонщиків". Класний сюжет, стилістика, саундтрек, зручне керування...

    Still my favorite NFS to this day. The arcade but grippy gameplay feels good, the story is simple but works and is engaging, the cop chases are challenging and the OST creates a great atmosphere. Almost everything was done right in this game and I hope the next NFS can take inspiration from what made Most Wanted 2005 so good.

    The stylistic presentation and graphic sensibilities are impressive, and they're complemented by excellent engine sound effects and smart cop chatter.

    The nod back to the cop chase mechanics of the Hot Pursuit games is certainly welcome, plus it's interesting to see that the vaunted "open" gameplay of the last two games has been dialed down by a more forcibly linear structure to keep things interesting.
