    Very good graphics and a renovation of the Blacklist are the main point of this game. Maybe sometimes the phyisic could be better, but who's mattering if you can reach 400 km/h with a Lamborghini?
    Take a shot on this game, believe me !

    The best game in the Need For Speed series, the game came out gorgeous as well as on other platforms, legendary soundtracks, a lot of cars, easy controls, interesting gameplay, it's a pity that there are no cut-scenes, but the game is cool even without them

    Good graphics, nice sound, and heart pounding action make this game as addictive as it is fun. Cops in pursuit can add to the gameplay but they seem to go only after me and not the other racers. In that sense, they are more to pester you to keep you from blowing away the competition too easily. Still, its fun making them ran into oncoming traffic or unleashing all my nitrous to leave them Good graphics, nice sound, and heart pounding action make this game as addictive as it is fun.

The physics isnt perfect but this is more an arcade style than a simulation so what do you expect. Still, good game overall.… Expand

    This is one of the best if not the best racing game that I've ever played. 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 This is one of the best if not the best racing game that I've ever played.

    When i first played Need fore speed: Most wanted 5-1-0 (NFS:MW) i was disappointed, but the more i played the more fun i had. the cop angle provides tons of fun as even boring timetriles races turn into races agains the cops. however this games best feature is in it's slow-mo driveing mode. this feature alows for you to avoid things that would have made this game frustrating, When i first played Need fore speed: Most wanted 5-1-0 (NFS:MW) i was disappointed, but the more i played the more fun i had. the cop angle provides tons of fun as even boring timetriles races turn into races agains the cops. however this games best feature is in it's slow-mo driveing mode. this feature alows for you to avoid things that would have made this game frustrating, defenetaly worth the $20 it now costs.… Expand

    I love how the cops chase you and I really like the girls in the cars.

    An awesome racer, tuned to the top. Some things annoy me sometimes, like the cops unbelievable skill of keeping up with you always and the thing that after about 80% of the races you just can't win any more. But for anyone who thinks that Ridge Racer's 360-degree-drifting-style is unreal, this is a definite buy.

    Honestly, Most Wanted is the best racing game you can find in the PSP, and they're few and far between. You'd be doing yourself a favour to buy a game that's already old and likely on sale. Great for travelling and what not, quick fix.

    Nice graphics, great gameplay and very cool game. If you own a PSP unit, then buy Need for Speed: Most Wanted 5-1-0.

    This game is worth trying even if there's a lot of negative reviews.

    Pretty good game that has been simplified for the PSP. No cut scenes but the gameplay is still great. Some things have been changed but it's pretty much the same game but in a different package. Great soundtrack and brings me back to when I played this game on PS2.

    A solid, nicely paced portable racing game with one frustrating design element that is a major part of its overall design, unfortunately. The cops are there to punish you for performing well, which is precisely opposite of what games have taught us throughout history.

    Everything in this iteration has been improved, and the addition of five-oh in your rear-view adds a degree of drama. [Holiday 2005, p.98]

    Most Wanted isn’t as much of an upgrade upon "Need for Speed Underground Rivals" as we had hoped it would be. One of the biggest upgrades to the game is the police races, and they just become annoying.
