Need for Speed Most Wanted
The Need for Speed series once again
returns to the console world with Electronic Arts combining a plethora
of gameplay options from the entire saga of this series to include
street racing, police chases and everything else that made the Need for
Speed series one of the most entertaining games of the century. The XBox
version contains everything to make a brilliant racing game, beautiful
graphics, sturdy gameplay and a pumping soundtrack.
Need for Speed Most Wanted contains a variety of different gameplay
modes with the campaign mode being the main form of play. The gamer
starts in a fictional town where he is looking to engage in some illegal
street racing. Unfortunately for your character, you are soon arrested
by the police because of a racer named Razor Callahan who has plagued
you through your entire life. Teaming up with the
extraordinary sexy Mia, you soon work your way up the blacklist of
street racing, until you finally engage with Callahan. Although the
story seems a little clichéd, it actually works quite well and the
developers have successfully melded ingame graphics with CGI to help
progress the storyline.
The campaign mode of Need for Speed most Wanted has you going after the
racers on the Blacklist by both winning races against their minions
before you tackle each main Blacklist racer. You also have to show your
metal by outfoxing the cops who can find you at any time, whether you
are racing or not and speaking from experience it can take a long time
to finally get them off your tailpipe. You can win Blacklist cars from
your rivals and then modify them with a ton of visual and performance
options. Most Wanted also keeps the free-roaming aspect from Need For
Speed: Underground except when races are staged. There are also special
challenge races where you test your car's speed through a series of
tollbooths, pursuit challenges and more.
Graphically, Need for Speed Most Wanted looks like a visual treat on the
XBox that contains some of the most realistic racing environments to
have ever graced the console. Match that with a variety of special
effects, realistic car models and some great physics and this title is
easily the best damn racer that I have played in a long time. Once
again, the team from EA have implemented another hardrock soundtrack to
help immerse you into the world of illegal street racing and match that
with some professional voice acting and realistic sound effects of cars
screeching, breaking and crashing and you have one great sounding game.
In conclusion, Need for Speed most Wanted is a worthy car game that
features sturdy gameplay, exceptional graphics and a variety of
different gameplay modes to keep you entertained for weeks on end and
when it gets a little boring, invite some of your friends over to play
head-to-head. Highly Recommended!
