Need for Speed: Most Wanted takes on the gameplay style of the first Most Wanted title in the Need for Speed franchise. Most Wanted allows players to select one car and compete against other racers to reach a destination. Cops are integrated into certain racing sessions, in which the police deploy vehicles and tactics to stop the player's car and arrest the player, like the original Most Wanted. The single-player section will feature a Blacklist of 10 racers, similar to the single-player section of the original Most Wanted, which featured 15 Blacklist racers. This time, however, the setting is not Rockport with the cop cars being from the "RPD"; instead, it is now set in a place called Fairhaven City with the cops being FCPD.
Most Wanted has been likened to Criterion's Burnout series, and has a large open world. Like Burnout Paradise, races have a start and end point but players can choose their own route to the finish line, a departure from the original Most Wanted, but similar to "crew challenges" from the sequel, Carbon.
The game will use Autolog, the competition-between-friends system developed by Criterion for Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, and since used in other titles in the Need for Speed series. Autolog in Most Wanted plays a larger role and gives more information to players. Activities in-game allow players to earn Speed Points which can boost players up on the Most Wanted list. Autolog recommendations have now been integrated into the game world, rather than sit externally on the menu system.
Most Wanted features a new social system called Cloudcompete, which strings together Most Wanted across all platforms in an inspired example of cross-compatibility. One profile will be used for all versions of the game, allowing the player to rank up on one format and continue progress on another.
The driving model of the game has been described as "deep, physical and fun", not as arcade-styled as the Burnout series and Hot Pursuit, but far from a simulator. Most Wanted has a range of real-world vehicles, a mix of muscle cars, street racers and exotics, described as "the wildest selection of cars yet". The cars can be altered with performance upgrades and visual upgrades, such as paint colors, wheels, suspensions, engine, nitrous, and bodywork (body kits). All of the game's cars will be open from the start, hidden in different locations.
To be Most Wanted, you'll need to outrun the cops, outdrive your friends, and outsmart your rivals. With a relentless police force gunning to take you down, you'll need to make split second decisions. Use the open world to your advantage to find hiding spots, hit jumps and earn new vehicles to keep you one step ahead. In true Criterion Games fashion, your friends are at the heart of your experience. In an open world with no menus or lobbies, you'll be able to instantly challenge your friends and prove your driving skill in a variety of seamless multiplayer events. Your rivals will do everything they can to stop you from getting to the top. In this world, there can only be one Most Wanted.
Features:
* Open World Action - Lose the cops - your way. Hit jumps and shortcuts, lay low, or shake the cops in surroundings that play to your car's unique strengths. Freedom is everything. Drive anywhere with your friends, discover hidden gameplay or utilize your knowledge of the city to beat them in a never-ending supply of challenges.
* Non-Stop Multiplayer - Pick a car, hook up with friends and jump into a non-stop playlist of tight, competitive events. No lobby screens means the action never stops. Score big, rank up and earn endless rewards and upgrades. Keep the fierce rivalries going between events with endless opportunities to race, battle and explore in a huge open world.
* Beat Your Friends - Autolog 2 ratchets up the intense competition with personalized race recommendations and feeds broadcasting all of your most newsworthy scores, speeds and times to your friends. Earn Need for Speed points at all times on any system as you try to outdrive your friends and become the Most Wanted.
* Racing Without Rules - It's survival of the fastest as Need for Speed Most Wanted fuses the franchise's, authentic -real car feel with the intense speed and aggression of Burnout. Power down, slide out, and battle your way past cops and rivals using pure driving skill, and heavy doses of nitrous.
Really, not me. I enjoyed the original MW quite a bit and with Burnout makers now doing NFS games (started with the one before this, Hot Pursuit) I'm very happy. Criterion has never let me down once.
I wouldn't call it terrible but I find hard to believe this was developed by Criterion.
After getting spoiled by Forza Horizon visuals, I really can't stand those jaggies in this game... just hoping the PC version will look better.
Played it for 2h and I kinda liked it , it's nothing new and amazing it's OK , better than Ridge Racer for example ..can be challenging sometimes with those insane speeds and I love that your opponents make mistakes and crash too..I say give it a go for a little longer.
EDIT: hahah , this game can be hilarious sometimes.. making those opponents crash , watching them crash on their own while racing...there's that Burnout part that I enjoyed..not a bad game really.
Its not to bad.
You cant compare it to Forza Horizons, 2 different type of games.
And hard to get into this one if you just played Forza.
But i can waste some time with this also.
Cops seem harder then before though, somewhat relentless.
I dont like theres only 2 camera angles to choose from on the game,i can never get used to 3rd person on driving games I like to have drivers view etc but all you get for 1st person view is a bumper cam which is too low
It's anno 2012 and they are still using this lame catch up system? Nitro is useless because when you activate it every other car goes faster too . Tried about 10 different cars and they all handle the same, it almost feels like the game is helping you with steering in the right direction.
Oh and let's not forget the retarded sun and lens flare / dirty screen effect, so pretty
played for about 15 minutes, cant stand playin it anymore, deleted, what piece of crap, after playin Horizon, nfs feels a lot worst, even 3.5g wont deserve to be in my jtag external disk.
DELETED!!

already dmca'd on a few Usenet servers but judging by the comments and reviews I don't think I'll bother with it...I was loving forza horizon until ac3 interrupted me from that.
