Mar 19, 2013I had this for PS3 and Vita before I got a Wii U. The game looks noticeably better but the main thing going for this game or any Wii U game for that matter is playing it on the controller. It's on a different level then playing it on the Vita.

Mar 19, 2013Game is awesome and a lot of fun. The addition of the hi-resolution textures make this comparable to the PC version graphically, and the gamepad integration couple together to make this the ultimate version.

Mar 20, 2013I thought the lack of analog buttons for gas/brake were going to be a problem but it doesn't take long to adapt at all. Game looks amazing, runs great, and the co-op driver functions are surprisingly more fun than I thought they'd be. Criterion put some effort into this version of the game and it shows.

May 4, 2013Most Wanted is a perfect example of a great port to the Wii U. New content has been added and the DLC has been included. The graphics have been greatly improved with the Wii U gamepad starring with new features. If you haven't played this game before, it's best to get it for Wii U.

Aug 29, 2013This is a great racing game, from the lush visuals on par with the PC to the kickass tunes. All this is topped off with sleek gameplay and great use of the gamepad. This is a master lesson in how to do ports.

Mar 21, 2013Every port or multiplateform current gen/WiiU should be the same!
The game looks amazing, even trough I didnt play much, It's the quality of Criterion's Work that I mostly reward.. -

Dec 5, 2013The games got solid racing mechanics and gameplay. Unfortunately there is 0 story, repetitive tracks, just one game type in singleplayer, and no split screen which for me is what makes or breaks racing games. Seriously a triple a racing game without split screen is just stupid.

Aug 31, 2013Despite the game crashes at time, it's a very fun game to play and it lasts a very long time in terms of just driving and causing mayhem. One of the first Wii U games that I got and it's just a very exciting game.

Jan 3, 2014This game is awesome! The races are fun, but just driving around the city is the best part of the game! There are cool cars on it, and to make it even better, you can customize them! I am not a fan of the online mode, because it isn't organized, and it takes way too long. And there is a voice chat in multiplayer, but it is very bad quality. I still love the singleplayer!

May 3, 2014Most Wanted U is a great time. I have spent a clocked in time of 40+ hours in this game enjoying what it has to offer. If you like to find ever nook and cranny hidden in the game, race online with friends freely, face challenges unrelated to racing, or having a high speec chase with the most infamous drivers in town, Need for Speed Most Wanted U has it all.

Aug 8, 2014This game proves that Nintendo Wii U is graphically one of the best consoles when the developers works on their games, hope EA make more games like this.

Aug 16, 2014This game is really fun, and there is a lot to do. The graphics are perhaps the most realistic graphics the Wii u has to offer. The new unlocking system for the cars is great, the races are fun, and the cars are all awesome, and they really made this game for me. However, the online is unreliable, A must-buy for anyone who likes racing or cars.

Nov 2, 2014I cannot understand why this game gets good reviews, it is one of the Wii U's worst games I have ever played. What is the point in driving a car that has no steering, it is pathetic and unplayable. The graphics are quite good but that's the only good point about this very poor game.
-
Nov 16, 2014Apart from Mario Kart 8, Need For Speed Most Wanted U is by far the best Racing Game on Wii U. Having a huge Open World and being the graphically best Port on a console, I can only recommend you this game.

Aug 30, 2015Very good Wii U racing game, the gameplay is what you expect from a Need For Speed game. It is fun for racing fans like myself. The game looks the way it plays which is beautiful. Easily, best port in terms of quality on the Wii U.

Jul 3, 2022Really fun game, and pretty unique for the system it's on, which tends to lack these kinds of titles.

Aug 4, 2022El juego es bastante bueno, tiene las clásicas características de esta saga, no se parece nada al original pero, sigue siendo bastante bueno, el sandbox está bien, muy aburrido cuando recorres el mapa, los FPS son estables y los gráficos son increíbles para ser de Wii u

Apr 22, 2013With the new (improved) control system and slight increase in visual quality, it would be safe to say that Wii U owners are getting the best experience out of Most Wanted - even if it is six months behind.
-
Apr 21, 2013This is a "racer" that beyond presenting a great identity, really messes with emotions and truly defines the illegal and fast racing. It is simply an essential game.
-
Apr 18, 2013Easily the best third party title currently available on the Wii U and the best version of the game to grace any console. As a nice bonus you also get the DLC included which was seen on other consoles, entitled Speed Pack. A must buy to show off the Wii U’s graphical capabilities and for anyone who loves racing games. If you want the best Need for Speed experience, play it on the Wii U.
