This one doesn't use Frostbite 2, it uses the Chameleon Engine like NFS: Hot Pursuit (2010). deltatux

Most Wanted was one of my favourite NFS, this looks a bit erm stupid with some of those jumps. Also I hate the recycling of old names, just add a number after it.

NFS: The Run used Frostbite 2 and it was pretty much poo but most of Black Box's NFS games have been that since the original most wanted.

Does it actually have anything to do with the old Most Wanted? That was the last NFS worth a damn.

This looks good! Make it over the top like this one or realistic like Porsche Challenge. Not "semi realistic/arcade(ish)" crap like Underground, Shift, or previous Most Wanted.

I wish a successor to Carbon would come out. I felt like that game was great and there haven't been any recent ones in that style unless I'm wrong.

I'm playing NFS 3 on Playstation right now. No joke. Such a shame the series went to ass after the Underground titles.

I actually thought MW had pretty good controls. It was completely arcadey and relatively fast-paced.

What was wrong with the first MW?

Not sure how I felt about Carbon. The canyon runs were kind of fun and blood pumping but the rest was "meh".

I meant on average, MW was an exception (at least I heard, never played it).

Only reason I liked it is because it had the ability to upgrade, which I find nice since it's realistic. Also, MANUAL TRANSMISSION. They've like... killed that off. It's so stupid!

Too sad I`ve lost faith in nfs games a long time ago. The Shift series were good but still, none of them had the atmosfere like High Stakes, Porsche, Underground. Sometimes i found myself playing those games till early in the morning. This Criterion`s Most Wanted with it`s crashing, bashing and jumping is kinda silly, it`s too much Burnout Paradise and too little Need for Speed.

I'd like yet another Most Wanted rather than yet another Burnout... What's with these series? NFS 1 - it was just one such game, not much competition NFS 2 - split screen owange NFS 3 & 4 - insane police chases, especially in split screen, and if I remember correctly, one of these games was the first to have 2-point car physics model NFS 5: Porsche - yummy; great climax, great cars, great physics, great gameplay Both Undergrounds were cool, and Most Wanted was awesome, it was great, it was insane with a force feedback wheel, I loved it (and I'm a simracing fan with 900 degrees wheel). And... well... they ran out of juice. Carbon sucked. I started playing it, won some car and then completed the rest of the game with it. I was playing waiting for something interesting to happen and ... the game ended without any satisfaction, but with a lousy cinematic scene. So I decided to avoid Undercovered. Shift - it was kinda interesting and quite a good game after you disabled that annoying DJ. It's a race, not a funfair. Also the handling of the faster cars was a bit buggy. Shift 2 was really interesting game. If you weren't really into racing game, you could enable the helpers and play, and after disabling all the helpers it was pretty close to simarcing games in terms of realism. In my opinion it was one of the better NFS games, but totally not in NFS 1-5 setting. Then I bought NFS: Hot Pursuit to realize that it totally sucks. There was no correlation between skill and lap times, and especially end position. It was unplayable with a wheel, and the original Hot Pursuit was good with a wheel. I had to use xbox 360 gamepad. I didn't want Burnout with NFS tag on it. So I decided not to get NFS The Run and NFS Most Wanted. tl;dr: The last good true NFS was the original Most Wanted, after that only NFS Shift 2 was worth playing. If you have a wheel and want to play good NFS game, install the old Most Wanted. I'm not going to buy any NFS games until they come up with something that it's at least half as good as the original Most Wanted or Porsche.

Criterion's games are way too arcadey for me. It is like driving a space ship in the space rather than driving a car on the road. By the way I still remember Porsche Unleashed, such a great game, better than Most Wanted in my opinion.

Paradise was freaking awesome one of the best multiplayer games I've ever played been waiting for them to get round to making a new one but it seems that they have decided to smash the NFS series and the Burnout series together to make a game that is alright but no where near as good as the best bits of the two games it's made up of.

Porsche was the best. The best part was that you could upgrade your car bit by bit, i`ve completed the game a dosen times and still wasn`t bored of it. They don`t make`em like that anymore 🙁

I enjoyed Paradise a lot too, but I can't think of anything positive in the new Criterion-made NFS. They should do with NFS what is done with CoD - release the same game again with some slight changes or placed in different times.

for me, it was the buying used car, fixing it up and selling it to gain more money in the game. I did that so much, that i remember owning every single car up until like halfway point.

When the NFS franchise started using that cheapass ai rubber-banding rather than good ai driving, I quit. There's nothing more infuriating than doing really really well, and all of a sudden, ai cars have unlimeted boost just to pass you or keep up.

Yeah that "catch-up" thing. One of the worst ideas in gaming world i guess..
