Need for Speed: Most Wanted is one of the most anticipated racing games of 2012 which was officially announced earlier this year by it’s publisher – Electronic Arts and will be released on the 1st of November 2012. The game will run on Criterion’s modified ‘Chameleon’ game engine which will give NFS: Most Wanted the best visual, audio and cinematic experience like never before all on a magnificently designed open-world, free roam map. Need for Speed: Most Wanted will be out on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
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 really wanted visual customization like in NFS Underground and real NFS Most Wanted. But I guess this one doesn't have it. Also no split-screen. = No buy for me.
I agree no visual customization as UNDERGROUND have.
i hope not all criterion NFS will be open world and free roaming that would be
highly undesirable. if criterion only make free roaming and open world need for speed im out= no buy for me.
Open worldness doesn't bother me, in fact I quite like an open world racer.
But I am very disappointed that there is no visual mods at all, not even changing wheels or anything. That kinda sucks.
Looks like NFS: Most Wanted (the original) will remain my favourite NFS game.
Open world or I don't buy, hate closed circuit racing.just my opinion
I hate open world games. need for speed is design for close circuit,sprint racing to me open world racing is like driving in your neighborhood like "FAST AND THE FURIOUS" looking for street races or allure cop chase. wasting time driving around the city map looking for races and garages for up-grades and unlocking cars. that was the problem with original MOSTWANTED. 2 good thing i can say about criterions MOSTWANTED no more damn blacklist to climb and ALL cars are unlocked from the begining.
