Customers often highlight the game's impressive graphics and the wide variety of cars available. The enjoyable gameplay and open-world environment are also frequently praised. However, some players express disappointment with the storyline, finding it lacking or repetitive, and others mention limited car customization options. The overall experience is viewed as a fun arcade racer, but with some shortcomings in narrative and personalization.

    This game is a lot of fun to play. There are a lot of cars to drive and each one drives different, so it's cool to play around with them to see which ones you prefer to drive most. This is probably the best looking racing game on PS3. The only downsides I have are that the cop chases can be way too long, and I wish there were more customization options to the cars, like decals and rims.

    It's open world gameplay, easter egg car hunts, high speed police pursuits and on the go, no pause menu make this an innovation to the racing genre. It takes time to get accustumed to use the menu while driving, and unless you enjoy upgradeing endless numbers of cars, the game is very quick and easy to beat. That being said. The true value to this game comes in the online multiplayer game. The party game style races, xp for cracking up other players, and the levelup style of car unlocks give this aspect of the game infinite replayability, enjoyability, and fun. The few drawbacks to the game are also the best features. The HUD menu disappears whenever you crash, so using makes it hard to concentrate which makes you crash and then because you crashed, the menu goes away which means you didnt get the car changes or upgrades done that you were willing to crash to make. I do recommend buying this for Xbox because alot of the best features can be done using the Kinect, so you have far less distractions and don't crash. Please get this game. It is a blast in spite of the few drawbacks.

    I have the PS1 version. This one takes it to the next level. Graphics are better, car handling and mechanics is smoother.

    Really good game, a worthy update to Burnout Paradise. Definite recommendation for anyone who likes arcade racers. The constant reminder of DLC with each purchasable car seen is distracting/disappointing

    If you liked previous games in the Need for Speed franchise, then you will enjoy this one as well. Gameplay gets smoother through each version, but the game in its basic form is the same. Just a lot of fun right out of the box.

    Overall this game is a lot of fun. With freedom to move around the city this game gives you absolute control. The cars are very realistic in detail and with audio. You set your own storyline in this NFS world. Rome the streets, outrun the cops, and become most wanted! Despite some Cars having the same races there is still a good amount of race through every setting you could want. NFS Most wanted is definitely a thrill and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys living and driving a little on the edge!

    This is one of the best games from the NFS series! Even when you beat the campaign, there is still a ton of fun stuff to do. Fairly realistic, great graphics, and amazing cars. If you're a fan of racing games you'll love it. It is not a serious racing simulator like Gran Turismo, or F1 2012, but I still love it. I would defiantly recommend it.

    Graphics top notch, great sound track, lot of cars to drive and nice open world map. If you like arcade type racing games, NFS Most Wanted is your game. Great fun to just jump in and drive around the city.

    Great game in tradition of burnout

    If you like burnout, you will be right at home with NFS:Most wanted. Even though it is an NFS game, it has more in common with burnout paradise due to both of them sharing the same developer. The NFS badge comes with licensed real world cars as opposed to generic cars in burnout. The cars are scattered through out the world and if you can find it, you can drive it - which is different from tier based progression we usually have in racing games. The gameplay is challenging with AI providing the right amount of competition. The graphics are spectacular as is with all the current gen racing games. I didnt try the online part of the game, but the offline part is enough to get me hooked.

    I have not played the game extensively. This was a present for my nephew. But, I played enough to help him get started. I also took turns with him while visiting on occasion. The gameplay is not too complicated. It has great graphics, very responsive to control, very entertaining. The couple or so hours I played with him were fun. Overall, it is a great game.

    I have owned every Need for Speed game available on the Playstion, PS2, and PS3. This one fits in quite well, It has good graphics and challenging races. It is nice to have free world roam and great not to have races on a closed track.

    I've played many Need For Speed games before and this one is by far the most beautiful one, but not the most challenging. Completing the single player campaign took me less than 10 hours. That being said, it's still a great game to have in your collection.
