One of the best NFS games ever!
Gameplay: The gameplay in this game is just plain fun! My personal favorite is the Hot pursuit, but you also have the normal races, including toll booth (point to point, timed race), circuit, sprint, and others that add a lot of variety to the game. Like I said, the hot pursuit part is my favorite. You can have a ton of cops chasing after you, setting up roadblocks, spike strips, trying to block you in, or just trying to knock you off the road, it offers a refreshing break from normal racing, and definately an excellent element returning to the NFS series. The pursuit part definately made this game excellent.
Graphics: The graphics are amazing! The cut scenes are beautifully done - the NFS team shot real actors doing the scenes and then just graphically changed it to look animated, and the result is breathtaking. I loved the cut scenes! The only bad thing about this is damage detail: the only damage is windows breaking - no broken fenders, smashed in bumper or any of that stuff, just windows breaking... however, because the rest of the game is so well done, I feel it still deserves the 10.
Sound: Sound is also amazing! Each car, engine, and upgrade that you get sound unique and very realistic. The voice acting by both the cops and the racers is excellent as well, definately adding a lot to the game and a 10 to sound.
Value: The value of this game is outstanding. You can go through the campaign mode which will take you (I'm guessing) 20+ hours depending how much time you spend in free roam, pursuits, etc. However, after that you can either race online, do regular races/pursuit, or do the campaign again! This game will never really end, and because it is so enjoyable you will be playing it until the next NFS game comes out!
Tilt: I have owned, played, and beaten every NFS game to beat. I must say I have enjoyed most of them, but my favorite until Most Wanted was Hot Pursuit 2... the game was amazing. I feel like NFS: Most Wanted has gone above and beyond HP2 and is definately a great game to own!
I recommend this game for anyone who enjoys the NFS series, racing, or just plain "running-away-from-cops" fun!
