![]() To make things worse, vehicle customization in Need For Speed Most Wanted is insultingly bare bones compared to that of Underground 2. This is not fun, it’s just sloppy padding. While these requirements are somewhat trivial at first, later on in the game they become a real pain in the ass since the bounty requirement is so unbelievably high that you have to start grinding for it. In Most Wanted, not only do you have to finish so many race events but you also have to complete milestones and grind bounty to a certain amount before you are allowed to race the boss. Now In Underground 2 you had something similar but these were just a list of race events you had to finish. Once you actually get your car and access to the world map, you are presented with a task list. I hope you like the BMW M3 GTR E46 because you’ll be driving it a lot at the start of the game. You can’t do this in Most Wanted until you finish the introduction sequence. In Underground 2, the moment you brought the 350z to the car lot, you get access to your first car, from then on the world’s your oyster, you have the freedom to go anywhere, heck you can even freely roam the map right from the get go in the 350z if you want to. This is where the biggest problem with Need For Speed Most Wanted starts to show, the absolutely abysmal amount of padding and this is just the start of the game’s padding. You didn’t customize this car, it was just given to you, like the Nissan 350z at the beginning of Underground 2 but thankfully you only had to put up with it for a short time. The game starts out with a sizable introduction sequence, which is nothing but race after race with some cutscenes in between in a car that feels completely foreign to you. As somebody who started with Need For Speed Underground 2 and loved the whole concept of racing it brought to the table, the thought of a new Need For Speed game filled me with excitement, I couldn’t wait to get straight to tuning up my own personalized ride to compete against other wannabe racers to be the best in the city. "This isn't quite paradise, but it comes very close.What happens when a racing game gets a story featuring cutscenes with real actors and fast paced police pursuits where the cops drive corvettes against your tuned up supercar? You get one of the greatest racing games ever made… according to most people that is. "Its sense of character may be not be as forceful as Criterion's other games - but the sense of competition that informs it, the joy of discovery and the plain pleasure of driving haven't been dimmed in the slightest," Martin wrote in his Need for Speed: Most Wanted review. Our Martin Robinson really enjoyed Need for Speed: Most Wanted, even if he felt like it didn't quite achieve the highs of Burnout Paradise, oft considered the studio's magnum opus. ![]() Need for Speed: Most Wanted was Criterion Games' last time developing a Need for Speed title on its own, as it worked with Ghost Games - which contained many of its former staff - on 2013's Need for Speed: Rivals.
