Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005)

Bad Frame Rate Ruins Great Game

This game is awesome.... that is, until I got my new HDTV. In HD, the frame rate is a supreme issue. It's not even playable. It will give you a headache in about 30 seconds. I am now forced to play the game in 480i and I have to flip the switch on the cable before I play it just to make it playable. A great game if you don't have HD, but in that case, why bother? Just get the xbox version. Too bad, cause the game is mega fun otherwise. I have now completed the game. It takes some time to get through and stays fun the whole time. A great pick for people who have a 360, but havent gotten their HD set yet.
