Need for speed most wanted
This is the latest installment of EA game’s street arcade driving style Need for speed. As far as I want to tell you, this is the best of the bunch, it combines the thrill of being chased by cops and modding your ride to your heart’s content. Let’s get down to business. You are yourself, along with Mia (Josie Maran), Rog and Razor (the cheating bastard that made his way through the ranks sabotaging cars with his pals.
Graphics:
In a weird way, the game runs on a sepia colored environment, I don’t know what the hell are they thinking but it looks great IMO. I have been playing thing game since last year and all I can say is this game rules as of the moment. EA never gone to use
The cars are are ok here, ranging from European and Asian imports and a hefty lineup of American cars. This includes of course the BMW GTR which is being used as its model car and the coveted car in the game itself.
Gameplay:
This time around the word is blacklist; this is status quo of the most notorious racers in Rockport. There are 15 blacklist racers, you start in the last of course, and you can make your way through each by completing certain amount of chosen races and some notorious points, and these points are measured in bounties and milestone events. Once having enough won races, and both these notorious points you can race a certain blacklist racer and take him on.
Sound
This is by far the best lineup with all the underground series to date. From Styles of beyond to Avenged Sevenfold, Prodigy, Static-x and compositions from Paul Linford in the soundtrack while racing and on bounty mode where you are being chased by police cops all over.
After running them over literally, you can choose some nice rewards but you can only get them randomly, there are 3 question mark icons for getting out of jail, money, impound strikes and a pink slip (opponents ride is yours) and 3 for unique body parts, performance parts, and visual upgrades.
Rants:
The thing is, there is a noticeable pause on certain areas, much like loading something and ruins the game, I have a 6600gt and a 2 gigs AMD processor, it’s more than the desired system requirements but It wont deliver, there are a lot of people complaining about this stuff, although some older systems with a Geforce 4 card seems to run ok. Even at the lowest settings or safe mode, the game still have some hiccups here and there, till now, with the latest patch, I don’t see anything improved yet. And guess what, EA officially announced that they had stopped any improvements since the 1.3 patch so this game is stuck on its knees begging to be improved.
