Customers are saying

Customers find value in the engaging gameplay and impressive array of cars featured in Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Many appreciate the game's ease of use and realistic feel, along with the immersive open-world environment and good sound design. However, some feel the storyline is lacking and the controls could be improved. A few also noted the game's relatively low level of violence.

    Another Great racer from Criterion Games

    Criterion Games made another gem in this installment of Need for Speed. Almost everything about this game is perfect. Controls are fluid, graphics are amazing and the sound track is excellent. Even the multi-player is fun. The only small imperfection is how short the story is. Overall my 2nd favorite Need for Speed game.

    Solid game

    Big step up from last years game. Single player is great. Nice to have every car at your disposable from the beginning you just have to find them. Police chases put you in that speed feeling that the last few games got away from. The crashes become somewhat like they tried to copy burnout but they still fit. If your a fan of any of the older nfs games this definitely is a step back to its roots. For people that want to review by just saying bad but have no substance then compare it to old games ignore. You don't want the same thing every holiday. It's indeed a solid pick up.

    I bought this because of memories of playing with my kids. We had all the NFS games. I must say maybe its rust or advanced age but this game is hard for me to control!! I use a standard wireless xbox 360 controller with pretty basic NFS controls. I cant keep the car straight!! Maybe I need practice but I still love it!!

    Ive only played the first race and I can honestly say I hate it... They changed almost everything from the original Most Wanted... no more speedbreaker, drifting is a huge pain, its nothing like the original one... maybe I just need to play more to get used to it i dont know but so far I can say I dont like it much

    If you liked the most recent NFS:HOT PURSUIT, or any of the Burnout games (specially Burnout Paradise) ; you'll love this game. This is not a hard game as one of the "bad" reviews below states, in fact that person recommends much harder games than this as being "easy ". This is a arcade racer with 90% of its cars available from the start as long as you find them. The others are "Most Wanted " cars you unlock by beating them. The other challenges in the game are more for people who just like to mess around & have fun, or people that like to complete 100% of a game. Its great fun with easy & challenging races for lots of cars. Definitely don't listen to the guy who's mad cause he tried to get a price match the wrong way.

    This game is an awesome edition to the need for speed franchise. It feels as if it could be the sequel to Burnout Paradise, which is not surprising since Criterion is at the helm.

    In my opinion best need for speed game so far. Amazing control. Each car feels different and handles accordingly. Drifting in particular can be controlled much more and is extremely fun.

    Terrible

    This is by far the worst Need for Speed game produced to date. The past few NFS games have been met with mixed reviews but I still found them to be enjoyable. This one on the other hand is just dreadful. There is no storyline, which I admit isn't a huge deal to most racing games but NFS usually has some interesting story. The control of the cars is very difficult to learn...half the time it seems like it wants to be a racing sim, the other half it think its an arcade game. The streering is bad, the braking is bad. And if you just tap another vehicle or wall you crash and your race gets interupted by this annoying "crash" sequence. if you want a fun arcade NFS racing game this holiday season go pick up the original Most Wanted game that was released when Xbox 360 was first released. Even though it's many years old, it's way better than this game. The makers of Need for Speed should be ashamed of putting their name on this. An even better suggestion would be to go buy Forza Horizon. It's a lot more fun and enjoyable arcade racer.

    NFS MW 2012 Sucks!! dont waste your money online there are no cops no weapons just short uneventfull races and challenges that are pretty much Lame offline its ok but the 1st MW 2005 much better for online stick with NFS HP ck the forums all bad reviews the run was a flop and so is this one thought the new games were suposed to improve on the old ones not the case here NFS games just get worse and worse do your research i might be the 1st bad rewiew but i gaurante I wont be the last.

    Decent racing game. I prefer the format that Forza 4 is done in. Don't care for online achievements that require you to play against other people online.
