First of all, I'd like to say that I've been playing NFS MW for 2 days now and haven't finished it yet, but what I can say it's that it has a great game-play: it's much better than all of its predecessors (NFS Underground 1&2). The slow-motion hand-brake is extremly useful and the game would be quite difficult without it. The graphics of this game are absoluteley mind-blowing because of the light that is superbly well renderized and when it’s dusk or dawn and the sun is positioned right in front of you, you barely see the road. The cars are very well detailed and the reflection is perfect. The sound is quite good: the engine sounds are realistic and the music is good but I’ve noticed that some of the tracks are present in the Burnout Revenge OST and therefore NFS MW lost some originality points right there; but that’s not the thing that annoyed me the most… which are THE BUGS !... the game shouldn’t have been released before EA found the solution to all of this game's bugs. Let me show you a list of all the bugs that I’ve found to this day:
- sometimes, after you beat a black-list racer, when you may chose your reward, the square that you have to be able to control is stuck to only one reward, so you can chose the one that’s stuck to and then you have nothing else to do than quit and re-race the blacklist racer [if you saved before racing him/her];
- another bug is when you enter the shop and can’t buy any of the products in there. This has happened to my brother right after he started the game;
- and finally, the third bug is that you can’t chose the first 3 rewards and can only chose the other 3, therefore you can’t obtain the pink slip and get the other black-list racer’s set of wheels. This bug has happened to a friend of mine.
I hope that a patch will be developed soon so that these bugs can be fixed.
In the end, ignoring all the bugs and negative aspects of the game, I’d like to add that NFS MW is one of the best racing game that I’ve ever played and that it’s a game definitely worth playing.
