its like crack

Strengths: crazy fun driving physics, not too complicated performance customizations, perfect balance of destructibility and non-destructibility

Weakness: laughable storyline and garbage acting, and those dumb little emails you keep getting from Razor threatening you. i wish there were a few more cars, too.

amazing fun addictive game. I don't even like racing games, because they're usually either too hard, too stupid, too geeky, whatever. this game is awesome, the cars look beautiful, and you can customize them to match anyone's tastes. the cop chases are a blast, even up until the end. playing through the game, the map areas get familiar, but never boring. It's not a simple game either, it was...

Need For Speed Most Wanted

Strengths: Graphics, Gameplay and Sound

Weakness: Milestone missions

Need For Speed Most Wanted Is one of the best NFS games I have played. The graphics and sense of speed hooked me from the beginning and the online play and custimization kept me coming back for more. This is a must have launch title for the 360.

Pretty good racer

Strengths: -Graphics are beautiful -Sound

Weakness: -Acting -Cutscrenes

If you can ignore the atrocious acting and stupid, pointless cut-scenes (seriously, why can't they just list your objectives on a pre-race screen), you have yourself one fun racer in Need for Speed: Most Wanted. The graphics and sound don't disappoint, neither does the speed and sense of excitement it gives you. The missions are generally fun throughout, but keep in mind the AI gets ridiculously...

EA does it again with NFS: Most Wanted

Strengths: Cool Cars Longer more challenging tracks Same great game play New police pursuit adds a fun twist 2 player split screen

Weakness: None

I've been fan of the NFS series since its beginning, and I've owned copies of all them. EA delivers once again with NFS: Most Wanted. The graphics look amazing on the Xbox 360 with HDTV. My favorite part is the police pursuits. It adds a fun twist to each race and make the game more replayable. I highly recommend this game!

NFS:MW

Strengths: great graphic on HDTV a combination of hot pursuit and underground great control

Weakness: expensive! you get the exact same gameplay as PS2/Xbox/GC version

this is the first game I got for my xbox360. I LOVE THIS GAME. The graphic looks fantastic on 720p mode. The music is SUPERB! the control feels very realistic! gameplay: it's hard to escape from those cops...you can spend 10+ minutes just trying to get away from them and it gets tiring sometimes. I love the 'underground' type of racing though.

Need For Speed: MOst Wanted

Strengths: good graphics, online

Need for Speed Most Wanted is a pretty challenging and entertaining street racing game. You play as a street racer who is trying to knock off Razor from the top of the black list. The game has excellent graphics and sound. There is an abundance of cars and the freeways have been improved from Need For Speed Underground 2. Overall I recommend this game if you like street racing.

acceptable addition to need for speed franchise

Strengths: graphics, sound, gameplay

Weakness: lack of large number of cars, police chases can get annoying

If you are a fan of the NFS series of games then this is one that you will want to make sure you checkout. The graphics and sound are absolutely great and the game holds true to the EA iterations of this game in the past. The graphics are great and you'll have new options for car control. The storyline is a bit over-acted and cheesy at times, but if you have enjoyed past NFS games in the series,...

Excellent game

Strengths: Good graphics, lots of fun

Need for Speed Most Wanted is one of the best EA games. If you like street racing games, this is it. The only other alternative is Project Gotham Racing 3. I personally prefer this game over PGR3. In addition, the graphics are awesome. I spent hours and hours in the game that my wrists started hurting. Oh, well, be careful about the ergonomics...

Easily the the best Need for Speed since Hot Pursuit

Strengths: Gameplay, graphics, open world setting.

Weakness: Cop Chases can get frustrating.

Need for speed most wanted is above and beyond any NFS title in recent memory. EA ditches the night time setting of the last two Need For Speed games and goes for a more Seattle type of city. The game is set in an open world environment so you can drive to various races in the game. In the game you arrive at this fictional city only to lose your ride in a race, your goal is to get you wheels back...

Fun game

Strengths: graphics, good pacing

Weakness: gameplay was somewhat odd for me

While the Burnout series will always be my favorite in the racing genre, NFS Most Wanted is a very solid title from EA. This game succeeds in the graphical department, especially considering it was one of the earlier 360 titles. I also really appreciated that the game could be completed within a reasonable amount of time, unlike many other racers

Need for Speed Most Wanted

Out of the 18 Xbox 360 launch titles that hit store shelves November 22nd, 11 games are sports titles and 3 games of the racing genre. This speaks loudly to Microsoft's new marketing plan to making gaming mainstream and breaking away from the "nerds-only" stereotype video games they have been known for. I feel the need to release 3 racing games during a console launch to be a little much. But I...

The latest installment is refreshingly new while still retaining all the old elements that have fueled the series for so long.
