    It's safe to say that NFS: Most Wanted is perfectly balanced between real-life steering and physics and arcade-style handling.

    Making a name for youself by climbing the game's Black List, aka series of bad-ass mo-fos you must beat, is good fun.

    It's solid with good visuals and enjoyable racing, but it does nothing new.

    This is a good game, but has a few flaws. I just bought the game last month (Black Edition of course) driving fast in any car getting chased by the cops in excellent until you get to the high heat level especially 5 or 6, then it's hard to get rid of the cops behind you. I hate the drag racing, I get very fustrated, I get so pissed off with it I stop playing the game. The blurr when going at 200mph can be a pain in the neck, when there's a vehicle in front of you at that second. The game that I got crashes on me at least 5 to 7 times when playing it. I download the patch for it, doesnt work. The game graphic's are choppy and also freezes on me. It must be this game only, because I also got nfsu2 don't have a problem with that one, only this one. I can't turn the graphic's up on high because the games frame rate will go to a halt(won't work), so I had to keep it at low levels. I do like the big airs that are in the game. Mostly down by the docks, there great. But the overall game I give it a 6.… Expand

    Ugly graphics, non-physics racing, no AI, no innovation, bored programmers, bad port, no excitement. Strictly for under 18's with skin problems and no driving (or any mature) experience! EA buying all crap online game websites again :((… Expand
