This game was simply my childhood, I played it countless times through and am tempted to play again, very worried about the reboot of this by Criteron but I will pick that up soon for the PS3 and review that! The game starts with a brief introduction to the game world (Rockport city) where you are in a blacklist race, racing #15 on the blacklist. You know nothing of what this means at the present but you will learn. You will go through all the days leading up to the race etc. You lose your prized possession in the race you're car. BMW M3 GTR. You will reclaim this. I won't ruin the story but personally I found it to be a very interesting story and it kept me ...  Read the complete review

This game was released in Nov 2005 after the hugely succesful NFS: underground. it takes the elements of the underground racing circuit and emphasises the police chase/ criminal factor. Its a set race and free roaming race game, developed by Electronic Arts. Gameplay You can play 1 or 2 player, but not online. You drive in the day time mostly but sometimes at night too. The game is mostly played on free roam and you drive through symbols that tell you what kind of race so that you can evetualy earn enough challenge points to take on blacklist racers. You can race point to point, circuit, sprint races and drag, which were my favourite and is all about ...  Read the complete review

This game was one of my favourites on the PS2, with exciting gameplay and good (if unrealistic racing) combined with a selection of cars and a great story. This game for me was the turning point for Need for Speed title, which now has produced 'Shift' which really is a good game. So the story. You are a young racer with a great car (BMW M3 the best car in the game) but in your first race (also your tutorial) your enemy and number 15 on the 'blacklist'. You are then shot back in time to a few races to get to that point, and a run in with 'Sergeant Cross'. You are then put back in the present, you race 'RAZOR' however your car doesn't quite run properly and the ...  Read the complete review

Need for Speed Most Wanted is a curious change in direction for a series that's perhaps most famed for its Underground games. Given the impressive graphics and insane level of customisation available, they had a lot to shoot for in this game, and whilst it's great, some of you might be jarred a little by the change in direction. Like the previous games, you surface at a city and attempt to basically beat everyone else through a series of races, but the game opens with a cinematic where you lose your car because another competitor fixed the race so that you would lose. As a down and outer, you have to work your way back up the ladder and hope that you can not ...  Read the complete review

Need for Speed: MW following the NFS generation of racing games. I first saw this game on late night telly 'Cybernet' and after watching the review i wasnt that impressed/ fort what the hell is all the fuss about, the graphics looked poor and manga styled on TV .. the show actually loved it to bits ... about year later the price come down & i managed to get hold bargain bin copy for half the price! g8 deal. The cover has a BMW M3 metalic silver with double blue go-faster strips.. Tasty. Bit anxious cos even then i fort it was over hyped; placed it in and the usual EA logo appears, u enter the game and bang i was impressed with the story which u played the ...  Read the complete review
