the game is worth the price tag you got challanges all over for you to enjoy and try to beat it toom me a few months to beat the game too me even longer to beat the challanges especially the last one and the bonus one. Best thing I did was instead of purchasing cars I just use the pink slips that I won and just upgrade them. Of course the trick is to get the pink slips is that theirs a pattern to them and so you have to figure it out, which means you might have to do a race over again to get the pink slip car.Never did the online mode since its not my cup of tea, but should just be as good though.but yeah funny thing was that nfsu and nfsu 2 the last races where easy as hell and not really a challange to me at least.

most wanted beats nsfu 2 by a long shot, but I wish they would do more with the series like in the game juice side bets with out opponents and plain out more races and challanges as well to make it interesting hopefully the next installment will implment some of these as well. BRING BACK DRIFTING AS WELL!!!! that was the best feature in the game was drift racing.I prefer a long game with lots of features and challanges then a short game with repetitive stuff which makes it boring.never really got into nsf until the underground series I did try out the old nfs games on the ps but it wasn't really good in my opinion.

i must say it is the first game that i have enjoy the whole time i played it. Some other games get boring half way through and after that you won't finish it because you are bored. But this games has some new stuff that was not in underground 2 and in this one the cops do chase you still but there are goals you must get to so it makes it alot better than hot pursuits idea. I would say if there is only one game you buy for a while i would buy that one i finshed it a few weeks ago and love every minute of it. It is a really good game and i think you will enjoy it alot.

Need for Speed. An amazing series. I own Need for speed underground 1 and have played underground 2 exstensively. I also own Most Wanted.I can happily say it is THE BEST Need for Speed game EVER.The graphics on the PS2 are blow away good. 10/10 good. The weather effects really add to it.This is the 1st underground game with cops. Well it is a great addition. Roadblocks are instant fun. The helicopter, when you get it, is very cool.The story is pretty awesome and I LOVE the intro. It's really well done.There are very few bugs at all. The music is pretty good and i love the cars.Winning your rivals cars when you race them is very cool. Mod them up with the latest kit and blast off the Nitros.In all 10/10. About as close to heaven as you can get.P.S. Most Wanted beats Underground 2 by a long long way.

The game is fast and fun, but with some tearing on the PS2 version. Poor PS2, it just can't handle the speed anymore. I can't wait for the PS3. I have a 41" Sony XBR Tube TV and my eyes were bleeding the first night of play. Wow!! My eye doctor gave me a bottle of teardrops for playing these types of games. Your eyes don't get washed by normal blinking and dry out because you're concentrating so much. Get yourself some REFRESH TEARS if you play race games for hours on end. You'll need it here. The graphics are good with nice rain and sunlight effects. The Dolby Pro Logic is some of the best surround I've heard in a game. The thunder coming out of my rear effects speakers was incredible. There's a WIDESCREEN feature. There is an option to mix the 26 songs in the jukebox anyway you like. I don't care for Hip Hop so I turned it all off and put all the Heavy Metal in random order. You can also sample every song to make your choice. If you don't like Heavy Metal or Hip Hop you can turn it ALL off and just listen to the sounds of the engines purring. The MENUS are confusing at first as there are many sub-menus within sub-menus. It took me 15 minutes just to figure out how to get out of CAREER MODE. (You must PAUSE, go to your SAFE HOUSE, and GO BACK two times to find the MAIN MENU.) It's not the most user friendly menu system I've seen.This time NEED FOR SPEED mixes the free roaming city of the UNDERGROUND series with the heavy police presence of THE HOT PURSUIT games. The game has a million tracks and a million things to do.The meat of the game is the CAREER MODE. This is where you acquire the stats in EVENTS, MILESTONE COMPETITIONS, and CHALLENGES to be challenged by the 15 MOST WANTED on THE BLACKLIST and open all the cars and some of the juicier parts for the cars. You'll meet all the characters in FMV which is a little weird, but kind of cool, for a racing game. The acting is good, but you can forward through all of them if you just want to race. Some of the characters will give you hints via messages on the SMS cellphone and email feature which you can manage by either keeping or deleting them. Along with acquiring stats you'll also need to make your presence known to the police and collect needed BOUNTY points so that when you have enough BOUNTY and stats you'll be challenged by a rival on THE BLACKLIST. Your RAP sheet contains all the info about your ALIAS. The funniest stat was for the amount of damage you've caused the State. CAREER MODE is where you FREE ROAM which is really unnecessary because you'll find yourself getting into the BLACKLIST with the press of a button to enter the events you need to be challenged by a rival. Once you enter an EVENT, CHALLENGE, MILESTONE COMPETITION or BOUNTY, it takes you were you need to go. There are also ICONS throughout the city that are also unnecessary for certain EVENTS. Just go into the BLACKLIST MENU to check off the things you need. However, you will need the WORLD MAP display to set the GPS system to show you where the parts SHOPS are. You can't go directly to them from the BLACKLIST or PAUSE MENU. You'll need to drive to them. You can get to the SAFE HOUSE (your garage) by just pressing the PAUSE button. You don't have to drive there. To me the free roaming around the city is rather moot unless you want to get the lay of the city for when the cops are chasing you. I just wing it with the MINI MAP provided in the lower left corner of the screen looking for the SPEEDBREAKER and COOL DOWN spots. The only time you use the whole city, which opens up later with more sections, is when you're running from the cops. The rest of the events are set courses that you must follow to beat.Other MODES are QUICK RACE with QUICK PLAY where the game gives you the car for the track you select. The manual tells you to play this MODE because it will unlock special cars or items you can't unlock in other parts of the game. There's also CUSTOM RACE in QUICK PLAY where you use a separate garage with a limited choice of cars until you open up the rest of the cars in CAREER MODE. You can also set the number of laps and the number of rivals for most events. There's SPLIT SCREEN for head to head racing and THE CHALLENGE SERIES, which was the meat of the game in NEED FOR SPEED HOT PURSUIT 2.RACE TYPES include CIRCUIT, DRAG, LAP KNOCKOUT, SPEEDTRAP, SPRINT, and TOLLBOOTH.The cars are great, but limited, and can be customized. Visual CUSTOMIZATION is rather needless for reasons I mention below. I love the MUSTANG FASTBACK. As a teen in the late 70's and early 8o's, I street raced a '66 MUSTANG with a 289 punched out to a 302, a Holley 4 barrel, a high-speed rearend, a low race cam, turbo flow mufflers, anti-sway bars, and a Cruisematic transmission. That's it!! We didn't use nitrous or computers. And that car was the fastest quarter-miler in the whole San Fernando Valley in SO CAL. The only car that ever came close to beating me was a CORVETTE. That dreaded CORVETTE is in the game too. The FORD GT is a great car and one of my favorites from GRAN TURISMO. I'm glad they included the LAMBORGINIS from HOT PURSUIT, but where are the FERRARIS? Where else can you destroy a $250,000 FERRARI and just go get another one. Bummer. You will be driving the lesser cars for a while until you earn enough money to buy better ones, but even the smaller cars FLY when you get them souped up. VERY NICE!! VERY FAST!!One of the best things about the NEED FOR SPEED series are the car physics. HOT PURSUIT 2 did them a little better, but when you get off the road into the dirt or grass your car spins it's tires a little. When you get back on the pavement you can really feel the car gripping the asphalt. I like them better than the floaty rocket car physics of MIDNIGHT CLUB and BURNOUT. The physics are a combination of simulator and arcade. JUST AWESOME!!WARNING TO REPLAY FANATICS: There is no REPLAY RACE feature in the game to review big events. I've only played the UNDERGROUND series on DEMO, but NEED FOR SPEED HOT PURSUIT 2 (which is my favorite racer of all time) had this feature. As do most other racing games. To me, this is a glaring oversight by EA. Having a racing game without a REPLAY is like not having one of the best features. What's the point of all the visual customization and car damage when you only see your car in the garage and at the start of a race and you're only gonna be looking at it from behind for the rest of the game? A lot of the fun is watching yourself drive after pulling off some ridiculously insane driving techniques or after causing some major damage in a police pursuit. My friends and I love to REPLAY awesome races, critique the driving, and pat ourselves on the back. It's part of the reward for a challenge well done. I mentioned this to a friend and he just groaned. I know it's not a simulator but it should be a STANDARD feature in ALL racing games. Do the race cameras eat up that much memory? I don't think so. EA blew it BIG TIME by not including this feature!! I was really having fun my first night at the game and had taken down 2 of the 15 rivals on THE BLACKLIST in CAREER MODE. But, not having a REPLAY RACE feature almost SINKS this game for me. This game would get a solid 9 from me, but not having a REPLAY brings down my score!! WHAT A DISAPPONITMENT!! I FEEL LIKE SOMEONE HAS CHOPPED OFF MY RIGHT ARM AND I CAN'T SHIFT MY RICE BURNER.I also filled out the game registration at EA's website and have yet to receive the hints and cheat codes they promised by email. Juggleheads!!If you can get past the fact that the game has no REPLAY feature, you're going to have a lot of fun. Me, I just can't get over it. I WANT MY REPLAY CAMERA!! I guess I'll have to turn off all the lights in my house, grab a bottle of Jack, and weep by myself in the corner.ENJOY.

Most Wanted is/was great. The only problem is that all the cars are still urbanised. I say bring back the days of Need for Speed 1. Ferraris, Lamboguinis (sp?) and race cars.The only problem with most wanted is, the amount of rage you will recieve after a 15 minute chase with the cops then getting busted at the end.

I played it for pc and found it alot better on pc than the other systems but i still liked it alot. The gameplay is awesome and the cars are great. This is a really great game to get so if you havent played it you should really try it.

A lot of my friends have this game and say it's great, one of the best need for speeds yet. I don't know about online play yet, but whatever it is when I get my 360 (4 days) I'll be getting it and playing live on it :lol:. I'm sure it's jsut as excellent as the offline play.

NFS Mostwanted is the best NFS game I've played so far. I've played NFS Hot Pursuit 2, NFS Underground, NFS Underground 2 but none of them had the reality of NFS Most Wanted. The graphics are really cool and the damage effects are realistic. The cutscenes are close to live videos. Great fun in the Pursuit races and all the other newly added tracks. The NFS Moste Wanted provides some of the coolest and powerful cars available. This game is a must for any Racing game fan. Go and get it and get your hands dirty.
