Top Amazon Reviews

🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


The collection of reviews reveals a generally positive reception for a specific racing game, with praises centered around its fun, arcade-style gameplay, seamless integration of online and campaign modes, and the variety of cars and customization options available. The game is lauded for its ability to cater to both casual gamers seeking quick entertainment and more dedicated players looking for a challenge. However, some fans of the franchise expected a more traditional Need For Speed experience, suggesting that this iteration deviates from the series' roots.

Pros

  • 🎮 Offers an arcade-style, fun gaming experience without the need for extensive micromanagement.
  • 🚗 Features a variety of cars and customization options for players to explore and enjoy.
  • 👮‍♂️ Integrates police chases, adding an exciting dimension to races.
  • 🌍 Boasts a large, well-designed open environment for exploration and racing.
  • ⏱️ Allows for pick-up-and-play accessibility, catering to both short and prolonged gaming sessions.

Cons

  • 🔄 Some players felt the game deviated too far from the traditional Need For Speed formula.
  • 🚓 Occasional frustration with the game's AI, especially regarding police behavior.
  • 🎨 Graphics considered on par with other games in the genre but not groundbreaking.

Should I Buy It?

If you're in search of an enjoyable, action-packed arcade racer that is easy to dive into but also offers depth for more committed gamers, this game is a solid choice. Its deviation from the Need For Speed series' typical formula might disappoint purists, but for those open to a blend of the franchise's racing elements with Burnout-style fun, it's a highly recommended buy.


  • Probably should have been called 'Need For Speed: Burnout'
Platform For Display: Xbox 360
I've seen all of the criticism about this game not 'fitting in' with the Need For Speed franchise, and I can understand that. I was never interested in the micro-managing aspects of other racing titles, where you had to figure out which engine, which tires, which body moulding to buy...I just want to drive and have fun. This game delivers that experience. I loved Burnout: Paradise. It grew boring, however, because there was no "ok, now what?" factor to it. You drove, you crashed, you raced, but there was no 'skin in the game' feeling to it. The entire time I played that game, I was thinking of the NFS games like Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted, and fervently wishing that Burnout: Paradise had THAT kind of gameplay. Well, now it does. I've told my friends that this is basically Burnout: Paradise with police chases. And that makes it awesome, fun, and exciting. Collecting the new cars is fun, beating the challenges is fun, trying to beat my friends' accomplishments in the game is fun. I play games to have FUN, not to construct a factually accurate racing platform with minute attention to detail! It looks great, the sound is great, and it's one of those 360 titles that I can throw in and play for a few free minutes and have a little fun, without having to worry about reaching a waypoint, a quest location, or a pivotal plot moment. Just get in and drive. If you can accept it for what it is, it's great fun. If you expected something more Need For Speed-ish...you will probably be disappointed. ... show more

This game is awesome? Are the graphics mind-blowing compared to other racing games? Nope, they're about the same. Does this game have world-famous real-life tracks and courses? Nope, but it does have a huge and well-designed open environment that is great for cruising, racing, and causing havoc with the help of cops who have questionable AI. I love the flexibility of this game. I also like that it is as challenging as you want it to be. If you want to be the best driver, kill all the Most Wanted cars, and get great times, you can do that. If you want to be crazy and get the most insane crash ever, you can do that! If you want to put spoked low-rider tires on your car along with an epic montage of the Virgin Mary destroying NYC, you can d....oh wait, you can't do that. But my point is, this game is sweeeeeeet! Now, if you're looking for a by-the-book super real-life game (like, say, Gran Turismo) this isn't it. Tons of great cars from tons of great brands, good mods, but not exactly realistic in terms of tuning and racing rules--it's not supposed to be. Cheers! ... show more

  • Excellent Arcade Racer and has more depth than I first thought.
Platform For Display: Xbox 360
I've put my time in on NFS Hot Pursuit (PS3) and NFS The Run (360), maxing out all the trophies and obtaining 100% with all the DLC. Easily a couple of hundred hours between them. I find Most Wanted equally as good as Hot Pursuit, for obvious reasons as it's Criterion - the same developer. Going into this as an arcade racer, geared more to the action/fun side of things you'll love it. While it may lack the underlying physics engine of say Forza Horizons it by no means drives like a brick. As an arcade racer it's the perfect pick up and quickplay game. Everything is seamless and there is almost no loading. Everything just flow together without a loading screen and that's greatly appreciated. I've got 44 hours into Most Wanted and I'm at 42/46 achievements completed on 360. The achievements are more Single Player focused by far, but my public multiplayer experience has been great and it's something I'm happily working through in order to max out all the car mods on the cars I like. Completing every race in 1st with every car will take a lot longer than I expected, along with unlocking all the Single player and multiplayer mods. It's fast, looks excellent and the experience is exactly the arcade racer I was expecting. Another win. ... show more

  • GREAT FUN, BUY USED!
Platform For Display: Xbox 360
I had a lot of fun with this game and love getting back to Need for Speed again as it is one of my favorite video game series. The game play is smooth and new for a need for speed game that incorporates good aspects from other video games that I have played recently! It is very social with it's mixture of online and campaign mode playing and is new with the fact that these two are combined in a lot of ways! Anyone that has complaints about that either did not have any friends with interest in this game or did not have an Xbox live gold. These are not needed to have fun, as I didn't have live for a week of so, but it is helpful in continuing playing after making your way through the most wanted list. This is a must buy for all former Need for Speed players and drives everywhere. Buying the game used if you can to save money, you don't really get any extra content in the new one! ... show more

  • Burnout Paradise 2.0
Platform For Display: Xbox 360
This is nothing like the original Most Wanted. Was this disappointing? Yes but Can you get over it? Heck yes! This game is just downright fun. From speeding around in a Challenger SRT8 or smashing into police cars in a Ford Raptor this game doesn't get old. My only gripe with the game is the magical police cars that pop up right next to you right as your about to evade. If you enjoy great visuals and hysterically fun game play this game is a must have. I even purchased this for my PSVita. Guess what? All of my experience transfered because I use the same account. No unlocks and vehicles don't transfer but the most wanted level does. To the people who can't get over this is nothing like the old most wanted.... Go play the old most wanted. This is Burnout Paradise and Most Wanted had a baby. ... show more
