A relatively exceptional game, though missing key integral components.
User Rating: 8.5 | Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) PC
The all new cop pursuit aspect is a face lift that the need for speed series desperately needed. The graphics are relatively awesome, especially the cars, though more detail could have been added to the surrounding enviroment. The story line incorporated within the game is also a new addition that makes the game feel incredibly more realistic. The pros include awesome sound, prodigious and nail biting police chases, innovative ideas; such as buildings and constructions that can immobilize police vehicles, intense driving with slow mo, and realistic speed effects. The main flaws of this game include the lack of tuning and visual upgrades, the limited amount of cars; about thirty, deficient and brief storyline, few cutscenes, opaque A.I. driving, unrealistic environment; there are no people for one, and incredulously your vehicle retains no damage despite interminable amounts of crashes and collisions. I know that sounds like a lot of drawbacks, but if you are willing to overlook the faults then the game is a generally solid and fun play.
