STN Writes:
Most Wanted is back and soon you’ll be climbing the ladders to become the most wanted among your friends. But first, let’s break things down. Yes, there was another Need for Speed: Most Wanted released back in 2005. Criterion considers this a reboot of the original — Criterion style. They’ve brought the best of Burnout to the Need for Speed universe and it is mesmerizingly wonderful.
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
Paul writes - "EA know a good thing when they see it, and for multiple years November was Need for Speed month. 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!
My faith in the N4S series has been restored just by those two words "Most Wanted". I said this before, I really hope they release an HD version of the original first.
Two things will make or break this game for me. 1)Can I customize my cars and upgrade them like the original. 2)Is there a fast travel mechanic like the first one. I don't want to have to drive all the way back to the beginning of a race to restart it. I also want to be able quickly to jump to my garage.
