    Need for Speed Most Wanted - Playstation 3

    • (Hot Pursuit Version
    • So like i said once you get the quick handling 1-2 days you will reap the fast RUSH and adrenaline high this game has to offer you, but in all it is so much better than the NFS "Hot Pursuit" and just much different than the NFS"Shift" release
    • Online is much deeper IMHO vs. Hot Pursuit
    • It was an amalgamation of all things learned from both the Hot Pursuit series as well as the Underground series
    • I checked this game out at my local library because I was hesitant to purchase the next iteration of NFS (Most Wanted) after the stellar "Hot Pursuit."
    • The problem with this is that unlike in some other NFS Hot Pursuit games, you can't use shortcuts to cut down you time if it means bypassing a checkpoint
    • THIS WAS SO DISAPPOINTING COMPARED TO 'HOT PURSUIT' ON THE PS3 OR PS2 FOR THAT MATTER.
    • I am a huge fan of Need for Speed: Hot pursuit, so when The Run came out last year I was very excited, and ended up being very disappointed
    • Still sucks that you can't play as a cop like in Hot Pursuit.
    • i like it but its not better than hot pursuit or the
    • I really liked The Run and Hot Pursuit on the PS3.
    • Being is a police chase felt more like playing bumper cars with cops flying at you from all directions but without any AI control making it easy to escape even the most elevated pursuit levels.
    • This game would be thee best Need For Speed game EVER, if only it had the Hot Pursuit action.
    • Graphics are fantastic and overall handling response from controller to action is perfect unlike hot pursuit where there was a lag in the steering response
    • just a lack of options 2 views can not choose color really i bought hot pursuit its the best game ea has put out in years sadly
    • The venerable "Need For Speed" series has long been ill-defined: games such as the Road & Track sponsored original, Porsche Unleashed, and Shift have focused on driving simulation, whereas others, such as Hot Pursuit, High Stakes, and Most Wanted have eschewed realistic control for fast-paced cop-evading action
    • It's the reason I bought Hot Pursuit a few years ago
    • In Hot Pursuit however there is no customization, but I would rather have a fun game in real cars, than a game that gets old where I can customize cars
    • Being an open world game, Most Wanted doesn't have car selection screens like Hot Pursuit: Instead, you have to hunt down new cars by exploring the city, which always makes for fun surprises
    • I like the reboot of hot pursuit, but this one is harder to start off and the cop chases are harder to hide/run away from
    • We dont see that competitiveness that was so fierce on Hot Pursuit online, because online feels repetitive and like a chore.
    • Overall, fun game, drives well, if a bit more difficult to control than Hot Pursuit, and something I feel will give me a good amount of enjoyment
    • This could have been a great one, but Criterion's head is still swollen from the Hot Pursuit success
    • NFS Hot Pursuit was fun as hell and never got tired of it
    • My favorite NFS of all time has to be Hot Pursuit
    • That is until Criterion stepped in with their entry 'Hot Pursuit'
    • NFS Hot Pursuit was fun as hell and never got tired of it
    • The game is better than the latest hot pursuit but the police chases are not
    • Nfs seemed to have picked up on hot pursuit
    • The predecessor to this game, 2010's Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, started to push this boundary, integrating its store into the car selection screens, where unlockable cars were shown next to DLC cars, but at least the difference was made clear
    • If you are new to NFS, or don't have Hot Pursuit, than I say get Hot Pursuit, it is a lot better.
    • If you liked Hot Pursuit, you will most likely like this game.
    • Two years ago, many of you know that Criterion did Need For Speed Hot Pursuit
    • I've won many Hot Pursuit online races because of the precision of mere inches between cars in a drift while fighting my way through traffic to the finish line
    • Hot Pursuit was
    • Personally I prefer the original PS2 Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted to this game
    • I would definitely buy Hot Pursuit and turn down Most Wanted
    • The original Hot pursuit and Most Wanted were some of my favorites
    • One of my biggest complaints about Hot Pursuit was the terrible rubber-banding
    • I loved the first nfs most wanted, a great story and most important, fun cop chases and awesome pursuit breakers
    • I mean crashes).PhysicsJust like Burnout and Hot Pursuit
    • To get to the point here, Criterion has basically taken their successful game of Burnout Paradise and due to their previous success of Hot Pursuit have hoodwinked EA games
    • It has a more arcade feel much like the newest Hot Pursuit (also made by Criterion, also an EXCELLENT game), but the driving physics are a bit more realistic yet more fun at the same time, so that's a huge plus
    • It is just straight racing and nos, none of those gadgets from hot pursuit
    • Bottom Line: If you've been a fan of Need for Speed, and have been playing the games for a while now (at least since the original Hot Pursuit 2), this game is definately a must get
    • Criterion is back with this installation of the Need for Speed series and they have done pretty well at combining the open world type of game that Burnout Paradise was with the police force from the last Hot Pursuit game
    • In Hot Pursuit, you also get "weapons" which is the whole reason it's one of the best NFS ever
    • So far, having played Hot Pursuit for many hours, my impression of Most Wanted are as follows:+ Graphics and level of detail is definitely more polished compared to HP
    • Not QUITE as good as Hot Pursuit (2010) or GT5 and Forza
    • However, not quite as good as Criterion's take on Hot Pursuit.
    • Great game... definitely an arcade racer, but I loved NFS Hot Pursuit and the Burnout games.
    • Then Criterion Games produced Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.
    • However, not quite as good as Criterion's take on Hot Pursuit.
    • Hot Pursuit
    • While the single player, for those who dump a ton of time into it and find their favorite cars, probably has a short life span, when you start talking about multiplayer, and get a few friends who have this game, and the replay value goes through the roof as you try to "top" your friends to be the "Most Wanted".If anything, multiplayer has reinforced my opinion that this quite simply is one of the best racers on the PS3, the best one released in 2012, and deserves your purchase.***Update #2 10/31/2012I'm seeing some questions about how this compares to NFS:Hot Pursuit.
    • if i want to find out how fast my car can go i will do it in free roam) each racing mode is very enjoyable (except speed average in my opinion) and can become a completely different ball game if they make it into a hot pursuit and for the most part the hot pursuits are pretty fun the only thing about them is that the cops are gta hyper aggressive and are pretty stupid i dont think even the best cars can handle a 100 mph head on collision let alone drive directly into one like the cops in this game do on a regular basis.there is
    • If you enjoyed Need for Speed Hot Pursuit than you might enjoy this one, but even that is a long shot

    • I found Hot Pursuit a little disappointing because it lacked the basic options in single player that I loved in the original
    • Also if you are playing multiplayer and you are stuck with some idiot who never stops yapping, you can't mute him like you could in Hot Pursuit.
    • I have to admit, much like the Hot Pursuit reboot, it's a fun game even if it doesn't have any sort of resemblance to original past titles
    • Now, I still don't think it's as good as Hot Pursuit.
    • I found Hot Pursuit a little disappointing because it lacked the basic options in single player that I loved in the original
    • When I played Criterion's Hot Pursuit, I could map the controls to my liking
    • Its got reflections of Hot Pursuit in small amounts, Burnout(the moments you go around corners and crash), and the beauty of Detailed NFS games
    • I knew that when I read the reviews I was making a gamble and while I love Criterion's version of Hot Pursuit this game just fell short.
    • In Hot Pursuit, you can't turn without drifting, the shift series had no story, and the run was just crazy: starting at 100th place and you have to get to first
    • If you want Most Wanted, or already have Hot Pursuit, than definitely get it
    • After all the best part of Need for Speed:Hot Pursuit was the most wanted DLC they added after the fact
    • Graphics:good, if you know NFS:Hot pursuit well, thers no big changes, but the game
    • The game has a similar premise, but they have removed the storyline, customization, manual transmission, exciting pursuits, and the ability to plow through roadblocks
