    With solid and exciting gameplay, great graphics and sound, and a fully functional online mode, PSP gamers can’t expect much more.

    Sure the police AI can be highly questionable, the visuals are pretty blah as is the sound, but on the track, 5-1-0 is a good time on the go, and is a marked improvement from "Rivals."

    A great all-round package with a definite edge over the PS2 version. And how often do we get to say that? [PSW]

    A game with ridiculous physics, hard-to-master controls and a repetitious event scheme.
  5. Yahoo!

    It controls decently, has some good tracks, and looks and sounds like you'd hope a PSP racer would. The problem is that its main selling point -- the police dynamic -- is as much a negative as it is a positive, leaving it without a real means of distinguishing itself.

    Most Wanted 5-1-0 has most of what's needed to make a good PSP racing game, but it lacks the biggest one of all: excitement.
  7. Game Revolution
    50
    Oddly, Need for Speed: Most Wanted 5-1-0 would have been a better game if they had just left the police back at the donut shop. The combination of badly integrated cops, too few cars, and trammeled car physics keep this game off our most wanted list.

It has awesome graphics, and I love the chatter between cops when they are chasing you. The gameplay is one of the best ever. I love the blacklist plot, Ithink that that was a great idea. The racing sounds are also great, hearing the engines purr annd the cars rev up at the starting line. This is an all around must-buy game.… Expand

El port esta bien, pero carece de muchísimas características del juego original y añadiendo otras no lo compensa. Pero el punto mas negativo es la IA, que arruina el juego (como también ciertos glitches en la misma, ya sea policías que se chocan con todo o solo persiguen al de primer lugar, etc). Si bien las primeras carreras son un chiste, una vez que llegas a Ming el juego pega un salto tremendo en la curva de dificultad. Muchísimas carreras se hacen imposibles aun con el mejor auto! Tampoco tiene historia. Es tan solo carrera tras carrera y en el juego solo hay 10 pistas creo, por lo que se repiten una y otra Y OTRA VEZ!!! Que aburrido! Ademas de que cuando llegue a Ronnie que es el tercero de la blacklist, lo flipe... El tiene el BMW M3 GTR!!! WTF?!!! Y cuando llegue a Razor, sorpresa! Otro BMW M3 GTR! Pero con un vinilo distinto!!! Tan siquiera jugaron al juego original?!!?! Y cuando lo terminas, que esperabas, un final?! NO! Nada! NO HAY NADA POR TERMINAR EL JUEGO! Si bien tengo que reconocer que en parte me entretuvo, y tiene buena personalización de vehículos (dentro de lo que cabe para los estándares de la consola), es terrible. El NFS Carbon para PSP es mil veces mejor. Les recomiendo mejor ese. Por cierto, también le hice una reseña...… Expand
