Driving has never looked this good outside of the real world.
As a remake of EA Black Box's 2005 original, the Most Wanted of 2012 is developed by Criterion Games, who had been the developer of the highly-successful Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit remake in 2010 and the Burnout series. Criterion knows how to get the job done when it comes to the racing genre. They understand that most individuals don't just buy a racing game for one specific reason, but for multiple reasons.
One of those multiple reasons is for the gameplay. Remember how in most racing titles your objective was to go from point A to point B on a certain path and after you were finished, you were taken to a menu? Yeah, you can forget about that now. There are many shortcuts, obstacles and structures you can use to either slow your opponent down, avoid a roadblock or other obstacles or to gain the upperhand on the other drivers.
Most Wanted's gameplay is seamless from race to open world play. If you have cops on your tail when you finish a sprint race, they aren't going to go away just because you finished anymore. The handling of the many cars that are available throughout the game is incredible and the cars you have the opportunity to drive are much more diverse than any other racing game on the market.
The open world of Fairhaven allows the driver to do anything they have ever dared to do in a car. Go as fast as you want, crash as often as you want and any way you want. Most Wanted offers absolute control over what you do to you. As for the cars, most of them are scattered around the world just waiting for the driver to find them to unlock their availability, from the tough Ford F-150 SVT Raptor to the speedy Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.
A new feature to this remake is the Easy Drive menu. It is accessible right from the game screen and you can manage just about anything without having to leave the action or pause the game.

Ain't no joke.
Speaking of the open world and cars, the graphics and visuals of Most Wanted are absolutely stunning, something we have come to expect from the Need for Speed series under Criterion's direction. The cars have never looked so flawlessly beautiful. The edges, colors and other exterior features of the car all pop and just make driving around its own epic experience. The world of Fairhaven might be just as beautiful as the car you drive. The roads are all very well thought-out and the blurs of the objects you pass as you speed down a highway really makes you feel like you're in the driver's seat.
If you're a fan of racing games, you would be doing yourself a GREAT injustice if you didn't play Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Even if you aren't a big racing game person, this title can keep anyone entertained! This game is so polished that it might just be too good to be true. The amazing thing is that it isn't just the visuals this time around. The gameplay is very well thought-out and never ceases to excite. Searching for cars and other challenges when you're not racing can keep you busy for hours.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted is out now for Xbox 360, PS3, PS Vita, PC, and Wii U.

Hello again! Being more of a RPG and shooter gamer, I've recently tried playing this genre of games before. I've tried both of the Need for Speed, Burnout, and the Grand Turismo franchises. I have to say even though they are not my cup of tea, this series, along with the others, have proven to be a marvel in there own way. With the screenshots and video provided, I've considered keeping a small, permanent interest into the racing genre of gaming.
ReplyDeleteLove this game, one of the only ones I play regularly. I love how they brought back the police chases like in the old games that I used to play on my PC. Speaking of PC games, how about Zoo Tycoon? Thats a great frickin game
