    I'm having an absolutely fabulous time playing Need For Speed Most Wanted. It's not the deepest racer in the world, but I've never felt that arcade racers need to come with loads of depth as they're all about just driving cars you'll never be able to afford, going fast as you can, and rapid-firing "that was awesome" moments: Three things Most Wanted totally nails in my book.

    An excellent and complete arcade racer. The short and intense races work great on the mobile platform. The many cars, challenging opponents and annoying police make sure you'll never have a moment of boredom. The only downside is that too much of the races are held on the same track.

    All in all, it is a fun, fast-paced frenetic game.

    It alternates between frustrating and exhilarating. The courses all look incredible, but also all look the same.

    Beautiful graphics, engaging gameplay, stellar framerate even on older devices. Overall the best iOS arcade racer to date. But there is a minor downside to me: cops never chase your opponents, even if you're going last they will target only you. Expand
  2. Great graphics, great racing environments and (to me) one of the best iOS based racing game out there so far. Be wary of the cops - for some reason, they have a strage attachment to you and your car, and will not pursue your opponents. Expand
  3. I have this game on my Android phone & it's amazing! It's much better than the PC & console version except the fact that cops only chase you & tend to ignore your opponents. Expand
