When the ORIGINAL Need For Speed Most Wanted was released back in 2005, it revolutionized racing games. It was a steady mix of style, substance, metal, street and outright fun that it is, to this day, considered to be the one of the best games just in the entire franchise. It did get a sequel- NFS Carbon. It was good, so it probably a great idea to leave it at that. However, we DIDN’T deserve this piece of utter garbage. NFSMW( 2013) was made by Criterion Games, and it shows- this reboot is more like a re-skin of Burnout Paradise. I love Burnout, but it’s nothing like The OG Most Wanted. It’s fun, but only for sometime. Here, Criterion made a world that looked beautiful, but had no sense to it. You don’t buy cars, you find them like a car-version of dumpster diver. You don’t install specific parts for Performance and visuals- you just install mods. You can’t customize your car. It has no sense of progression, the game is too easy, the cops have no other function than to be annoying. There’s no penalty, no challenge, no pressure. The only saving graces are that the graphics are beautiful, and the music is amazing. However, that doesn’t jautify the games insult to the 2005 original. Just don’t play this game.
