    "Need for Speed: Most Wanted" was a very good video game, the modalities, the cars, and the graphics have been very good, you feel the adrenaline in every way.

    Definitely better than Underground but still... I did not like the grind to get to the top. It gets boring after a while. AI is terrible - whenever i have cops on my back during a race, they always chase me and ignore the other racers which puts me on a disadvantage

    A Brilliant game, i played this game when i'm still in college back in 2005. If you love pre-2010 Need For Speed games, then you ABSOLUTELY have to play this one.

    The story is really engaging, the race is fun, the chase is great--it gave you many options in how to cut down the police cars that chases you.

    The tuning and visual customization are also the highlight of this game. It feels that you really own the car and want to make it better and better so you can outperform the cops.

    Overall, PLAY THIS GAME if you love "street racing" and "cop chases" games, i guarantee you will not regret it.

    The graphics took a big step forward from Underground 2. The driving mechanics also saw very slight improvement as well. The biggest step in my opinion is the story that the game delivers.

Also, unlike Underground 2 the game actually has an ending. The game also kept most of the great customization options from the previous title as well. Soundtrack was fairly good on top of it all. The only thing keeping this from being a 9 in my book is that there was not enough vehicles to choose from (maybe because I have replayed it too many times lol). I was also hoping for some more advancement in vehicle physics (aka damage) and a bit more challenging AI.

    All in all I am probably nit picking but regardless this is one of my favorite racing games of all time. I find myself going through careers every so often and is one of those games that I always keep installed.

    To bad things really went downhill for the series after this.    … Expand

    Car feels a bit too glued to the road, those police cars speed as if they have ion engines, you ram them into something and 2 seconds later they are at 200km/h again.

But those are literally problems every racing game ever has. And before I forget the awesome soundtrack, the best I've ever heard in a racing game and in games in general. Forza is so ****ing boring compared tot his and is the benchmark of how all racing games should be.

    Most Wanted is my favourite Need For Speed and I have played it many times, but have never managed to complete the final pursuit. The story isn't very complex, but it's enough to make the struggle of the protagonist near-personal for the player.

On rare occasions did i ever beat heat level 5 cops. Thought you can turn difficulty settings to easy,medium,or hard in career mode? Well the answer is no. I would give this a 7 but im going to be generous and give this one an 8. The Turning sometimes make me feel like im drifting on ice while my car is covered in oil. The Drag races are very annoying.I keep crashing into things because the handling is sloppy. There was very little effort put into having the ability to control how your car turns. Winning in this game gets outrageously difficult. I can’t even beat the story mode without modding the game files. Also when you get busted and you completed a milestone you will have to complete that milestone again until you get away from the cops after you’ve completed that milestone. You will probably eventually lose your sanity for 3 hours if you’re not patient so i would recommend this to gamers who have a high level of patience.I tried to do what i could to beat this game but now this game has as little hope as possible. Like i said before if you do not have a lot of patience to beat milestones in this game then do not even bother otherwise you might turn into vincent vangogh when he was mentally insane except you wont have as great as art skills as he did. But hopefully you understand this review as a warning so you do not lose your sanity and eventually end up in the mental ward.… Expand

    Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) is one of the best and for many people the best racing game ever. I'd say there are two camps. One is a supporter of Underground 2 and the other is Most Wanted.

You will get a perfect cart, but after a few hours of playing youNeed for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) is one of the best and for many people the best racing game ever. I'd say there are two camps. One is a supporter of Underground 2 and the other is Most Wanted. Although the choice was difficult, I lean a little towards Underground 2. Most Wanted will start quite the same as Underground 2. You will get a perfect cart, but after a few hours of playing you will lose it. What has undergone a change are the movies. Although the game still has its charm, it has replaced comic films with feature films, where the characters speak directly to you and you sit in your car, which just draws you even more into the story. But solving a story at Need for Speed ​​would be quite silly, because the game is mainly about racing, not a story, although it's a bit better here. You ask why? Because we added a novelty called Blacklist. A blacklist is a list of fifteen competitors that you must beat. So these are such bosses. To get to these bosses, you have to collect a large enough bounty and go in a few classic races. The races here are a bit different than in the previous part. You no longer have to go somewhere on the map because of them, but you can start them directly from the menu. For some a pleasant solution, for some a pity that we can no longer drive through the city and look for secret races, as was the case with Underground 2. The night city from the previous game was replaced by another city and in daylight. As a result, any possibility of putting my favorite neons on your car is logically canceled, because in the light they would be completely useless to you. But back to those races. Apart from the fact that you no longer have to go to it over the entire map and you can launch it directly from the menu, there are a few fewer of them, meaning styles. Of course, we will find sprint and drag here, but we lost my favorite drift, for example, which is a shame. On the one hand, the races are simply different here and this is offset by the fact that they are faster. Compared to the previous part, we have a slightly different car to choose from here, and especially at the end of the game, you will have such fast machines that it is perhaps not even possible. Probably also due to the speed, we have the opportunity to give slow-motion while driving, so that we can somehow control the speed at all. I mentioned the races and the change of city here, but what is the Need for Speed ​​series about? About car tuning, of course. He is here again in all its beauty, but slightly more cut for races. Unfortunately, we no longer have such a choice and it is necessary to choose from the already prepared body-kits. These are beautiful, but here and there I wanted to drive the car myself. In short, I would be lying if I said that there is no tuning, but there is simply not to such an extent and most importantly it is not the main thing of the game. This is only confirmed by the fact that we will no longer find stars on the map, in other words the passages where we had to go somewhere at a certain time to get the cover of the magazine with our car. Most Wanted is mainly about the already mentioned Blacklist, and I come across a novelty about that, and that is the police. Yes, Most Wanted is adding police. It can appear here and there during the races and you have to escape the cops after the race. If you don't, they can even confiscate your car. It must be said that this is not such a problem, because you can get money here quite easily, because you can repeat the races and thus constantly farm the game currency. Despite that, the police are paradoxically the biggest minus of the game, because mainly at the end they can or at least bothered me a lot, because you have to get, as I mentioned, a large enough bounty to be able to finish the game. In short, I wanted to race and tune, as is known at Need for Speed, and not bother with any police. However, all this will end and I will tell you that it is worth it, because the final of the game is unreal and I have not seen a better end to the racing game. For me, a great game and one of the best racing games I've ever seen.… Expand

    An illegal street racing game where the goal is to win races and escape the police! This game is made for fun, not realism, which is perfectly fine by me. It's technically possible to start with a very generic sedan and upgrade it until it can outrace $200,000 Corvettes and Lamborghini's, which is bonkers. The cutscenes are soooo cheesy and I love them for it. My biggest grievance is thatAn illegal street racing game where the goal is to win races and escape the police!

    My all-time favourite NFS! The driving experience is awesome, you have an open world where you can drive around and those pursuits are always fun. The Blacklist thing is one of a kind! You can tune your cars into supercars.. man this is the racing game of the 2000s everybody loved back then.

    Хорошая игра с тюнингом и хорошим сюжетом, но только меня в игре бесило то что некоторые гонщики из чёрного списка в гонках меня значительно обгоняют хотя у них машины почти в 2 раза слабее моей! И конечно дрэг рейсинг это такая хрень в этой игре просто 1 раз врезался все проиграл ещё надо учитывать что управление в нём очень так себе! Также клёвые полицейские погони.Хорошая игра с тюнингом и хорошим сюжетом, но только меня в игре бесило то что некоторые гонщики из чёрного списка в гонках меня значительно обгоняют хотя у них машины почти в 2 раза слабее моей!

    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...

    Игра очень хорошая, всего 3 минуса - затянутость, вылеты игры при взрыве заправки (на лицензии такое тоже есть, да) и графика на пк (по сравнению с X360 на пк графа такая себе, но решается модами). Музыку подобрали замечательно, особенно запомнилось Disturbed - Decadence, и ещё пару треков. Погони с копами ваще кайф.

    One of the best nfs game ever! It got good enough story(for a racing game atleast)gameplay is still solid and these police chases never gets old. Best pursuit system I have ever seen, and it is still unmatched.

    Customization is not deep as ug2 but still good.

    Car handling is really enjoyable and not drift at every turn like recent nfs's.

    Such a classic that still holds up to this day.

    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.
