"The next game from Criterion (Burnout Paradise, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit) was heavily rumoured to be a brand new entry to the re-invigorated Need For Speed franchise, although there were dollops of speculation regarding the possibility of the return of the studio’s Burnout action racing series.
More recently, however, EA and Criterion have confirmed that Need For Speed: Most Wanted is to be the pair’s next game and from our hands-on time during E3 2012 it’s looking nothing short of thrilling."
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted debuted in 2005, with the Xbox 360 version being the first then next-generation title in the franchise.
This game was awesome! I remember reloading my save if I didn’t get the pink slip from my blacklist rival

In a break from the usual routine, I'm going to be looking back at two games here, released in 2005 and 2010 respectively. The earlier game is Need for Speed: Most Wanted, which has the distinction of being one of the very best in the franchise. The second game comes from 2010, and is Need for Speed Hot Pursuit; which I'll talk about just as the Remastered version of the game has hit the stores."
I completely adore this game! In fact its probably my favorite racing game. I recently dusted off my xbox 360 to play Most Wanted 2005. Still a great game, though I do not remember there being such horrible performance. Like massive frame-pacing issues. screen tearing, latency. If any game ever truly needed to be remastered, it this one for sure!
Ok, this preview has sold me on the game.
Why I had any doubt is kind ridiculous.
