"Most Wanted"

Need For Speed Most Wanted

Graphics:9/10
I really did love the graphics in this game. It was truly amazing. The cars, environment and characters look great. I loved it very much. They look much better from the first two Need For Speed Underground. The motion blurs and smashing into stuff looks really good and you have to see it for yourself to believe it.

Sound:9/10
The soundtracks were great to listen to and it didn't bother me one bit. The voice overs were great as well. Although, most of the voice-overs are during cell phone conversations. Your character never talks as well. The police radios sound pretty good and realistic.

Story:8/10
The story is about you making your way up the blacklist and getting back your car from your rival, Razor. You manage to get enough reputation and you can finally race against #15 on the blacklist who happens to be Razor. You lost your car during a race with him when your car had a major oil leak at the start. You lose the race and then get arrested. Your friend, Mia then helps you get back on your feet. Now you must make your way to the top and take out Razor and his boys. Along the way, the cops and Sergeant Cross will do anything to stop you and put you out of business. Pretty Straight-forward.

Game play:8/10
The game play was pretty cool and I thought it was a great and fun experience You can now buy more cars and customize them. The cops are back and they are smarter and rougher than ever. Most Wanted should keep you interested for a while. There is a also a challenge mode where you can beat certain races to unlock rewards. There isn't much unlock ables besides the parts and buying new cars. There are about 32 new cars in NFS: MW.

Difficulty:3/10
This game shouldn't be too hard for fans of Need For Speed but if your new to this street racing thing than it might be a little harder for you but it shouldn't take too long to figure out the controls and the aspects of the game. Once you've got it all down, then you should be good to go and you'll be addicted to it as well.

Controls: 8/10
The controls are somewhat similar to the other Need For Speeds and they aren't as hard as you think. There are really easy and you should get used to it soon. Racing has never been so easy. Lol. Not really.

Overall:9/10
This is a great street racing game and it can't be missed. There is no more drifting and Street X but it really doesn't matter since you have new ones like Speed trap and Tollbooth. You must try out this game. It's really fun.

Replay Value:8/10
Well, after you beat the entire storyline, all you can do is customize your cars or play against your friends in multi player. It's actually kinda fun to go through the storyline again, if you want to.

Buy Or Rent?
Buy. You won't get the feeling in a week. It's also really fun so you should buy it for the sake of it. It you liked Need For Speed Underground or if your a hardcore fan of the Need For Speed series, then this game can't be missed. Overall this is a great game.
