MediaStinger: "Being a huge fan of the original Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and more recently Need for Speed: The Run, I was pretty excited to see that a new Need for Speed game, a remake of its vastly popular Most Wanted iteration, had been announced at this year’s E3. So excited that in between scheduled meetings, I waited in line an hour to get my hands on the game and check out multiplayer. That excitement quickly fizzled out once I started “racing” against a group of other players in Most Wanted‘s new competitive mode. Never had the title of the series been more fitting. I needed more speed, and I never got it during my time with the game."
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!

I seriously hope your talking about PS1 and PS2 version of "HOTPURSUIT 1,2... criterions hotpursuit compare to those 2 was "CRAPOLA" as this re-make of MOSTWANTED will be.
I feel it would FIZZLE out quick too after watching gameplay on E3 2012
i kinda want tuning :/
They should leave Burnout to Criterion and let another developer bring back what Need for Speed was about.
Need for Speed series has been in the dumps after Underground 1 came out. Disagree all you want but you all know it's true.
