    Need for Speed: Most Wanted

    • Even Test Drive Unlimited 2, which has pretty terrible vehicle controls, is more fun
    • Driving in highways at more than 350 kph is just a matter of luck, because avoiding traffic or even turning becomes extremely difficult (if not impossible) with such unresponsive controls, since almost any impact with traffic, an obstacle or the fences will start the 10-second crash animation (and if it doesn't, it will make you lose control anyway and you will either crash afterwards or having to brake hard and lose most of your speed).So, for you to be able to (kind of) control the car, you have to keep breaking and overall drive slowly, but even that won't save you, which brings me to my second major concern with this game: other players (both human and AI) will take you down
    • Peace upon you matesJust to make it short, this game is a waist of moneyPoor handling, poor control support (I'm using Logitech G27), poor cars collection (The Run has 4 times number of cars according to this one !!!), poor crash system, poor graphics, poor story line (Sorry, I
    • In the time since then, the controls have been refined and are very good now-- at a stage they SHOULD have been at when the game launched

    • Car performance levels are modelled appropriately and simply on 6 parameters on a bar chart: accel, top speed, control, weight, off-road and toughness
    • Want to know why?-Uses Origin, EA's bad DRM-Poor port, I get 20 fps on max settings @1080p, but I can max out skyrim on max settings @1080p with graphical enhancement mods.-Poor controls, it's painfully obvious this is a console port, they have you steer with the arrow keys and accelerate with the a key.-The actual gameplay and racing feels clunky and spirattic, and there isn't much to do besides driving around
    • The cars don't have that classic NFS arcadey control, nor do they control like a
    • Vague, sluggish steering and controls kill the fun factor
    • When the game first launched the controls were awful
    • Sometimes crashes feel like they're avoidable but the controls are slow to react and you end up crashing any way
    • The controls are atrocious, the "most wanted" aspect is ruined, and the heat system was disastrously ripped apart
