Game Overview
If you have played both Underground and Hot Pursuit you are going to have a pretty good idea what Most Wanted is all about, to get anywhere in life with this game you are going to need a feared car that has been pimped out to the most extreme and also you going to need to be a pretty good driver to get away from the cops!

You will notice from the outset that Need For Speed Most Wanted is stupidly easy, there came a point when we thought, "OK we are going to have this finished in an hour", how wrong were we! All of a sudden with no warning at all, it becomes one of those games that makes you want to smash your controller through the wall and kick seven shades out of the person nearest too you! We will warn you, do not play this game anywhere near sharp objects!

The single player is beautiful, all the cars look crisp, and all handle slightly differently and seem to react differently to certain obstacles, the AI is fantastic and the circuits are brilliant, and very challenging!

Multiplayer is still available and being able to race your mates pimped out ride on split screen is still as fun as it was on Underground 1 and 2 although one huge problem that is identifiable as soon as you pick the box up is that there is no Online play! No Online play, can you believe it!!?? We can't quite get our heads around why EA would take away the part of the game that was the most fun! But still at least they didn't take the multiplayer away!!

Being EA it is guaranteed to have a massive soundtrack, which it does! Jamiroquai, Disturbed, Static-X and the infamous Prodigy, will grace your ears as you tear up the roads, winning races and avoiding the police! You really couldn’t have it any sweeter!

Our Conclusions
Need For Speed Most Wanted is a good game, graphics, sounds, gameplay, difficulty, everything is absolutely spot on, we don’t think you will find to many people moaning about the new EA release. Sure it won't be long till Most Wanted can be seen being played on a 42" TFT Flat screen in the back of a Vauxhall Nova at your local cruise!

Overall Score: 8.5/10
