![]() The game takes on the gameplay style of the first Most Wanted title in the Need for Speed franchise the contrast difference is the 2012 Most Wanted does not contain a story. Need for Speed: Most Wanted is set in an open world environment. This pre-release screenshot also depicts the use of simulated HDRR on the sunny sky and surface lighting. The player's car being pursued by several police cars during a racing session. Following its release, the game won several awards including the 2012 Spike Video Game Awards for Best Driving Game and was nominated for Best British Game and Best Online Multiplayer at the 2013 BAFTA Awards, and was repeatedly recognized as the best driving/racing game of 2012 by several outlets. Need for Speed: Most Wanted received positive reviews, which focused on the world map that blended the styles of previous Burnout and Need for Speed games, and the social features, while criticism fell on the single-player mode. ![]() The game picked up on the Most Wanted intellectual property, as opposed to the Hot Pursuit reboot that Criterion Games developed previously. Most Wanted is the nineteenth title in the Need for Speed series and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation Vita, iOS and Android, beginning in North America in 2012, with a Wii U version following in 2013 under the title Need for Speed: Most Wanted U. P.S.-Oh yes, drag racing in MW1 Sucked hard.Need for Speed: Most Wanted is an open world racing game developed by Criterion Games and published by Electronic Arts. Of course, this is all my opinion, and as I seem to be most of the rest of the time, I'm likely in the very small minoity. The thing is, New MW overcomes most of what I just rattled off, where the old MW just sat there. Not to say the new one is perfect, the cops are pathetic up to level 3, the cars still feel like bricks if you don't have certain upgrades, civilian crashes are still just as annoying as they always have been, the soundtrack doesn't work for me (one moment as I praise the person who decided that personal playlist should be an option, whomever that may be.), and Fairhaven has it's own flow issues. Carbon mad them optional, but in MW you're required to hit certain marks in chases in order to advance, and if you mess up and get caught, all progress made is erased and you have to do it again, to which I finally said "No, I've had enough". And then the dealbreaker for me was not the bland "customization", but the forced cop chases. The cars were numb-handling bricks that had reverse as an afterthought. Rockport didn't flow, it felt thrown together with lots of "look-at-me" shiny stuff inbetween sections, the story wasn't hard to follow but it was hard to care about, especially coming off the U2 storyline of "That ******* tried to take me out!" that better warrants the structure. For HP, It looks good, it was fun for a while, had intresting ideas, and kept me entertained as opposed to HP1 back on PS1 that I have played maybe four times total.Īs for Most Wanted, I have thought the demise of Black Box began somewhere between NFSU2 and MW. MY opinion, both Criterion games are better than their namesakes. ![]() Like it or not, the Criterion games would be compared to the rest of the series no matter what the name was. Everything since NFS 2 is a sequel and has been building, and demoing and remodeling, to reach where we are now. I don't like that both Criterion games have used old titles, specifically of Black Box games which seems like trying to give the studio slap in the face (not that I'd mind that after The Run).
