Reperitive events that felt like a chore, zero purpose of getting cars and at the end you build something better than that silver and blue trash.
At least the pursuits were good

One of the most mid 2000s feeling games imaginable.
I started watching some random need for speed retrospective videos and it got me intrigued in trying the series out. First few hours are a blast, but man the later police chases are a drag in trying to have them last long enough. I ended up doing the bus station glitch alot near the end. Still, it kept me really invested for a good few weeks. This is a franchise I never really cared about but now I want to try out more of the series

this game is so edgy its hilarious it screams 2000's and i love it
replayed it after a reaaally long time wanting to play it again since as a kid, and i thought id get bored of it quick and think it was good only out of nostalgia, but it's actually pretty decent i do really hold my opinion as this being one of the best and most memorable racing games out there
fuck the cops and invisible edges on walls

I love the perpetual afternoon look of this game.
I DO HAVE THE NEED FOR PEED
My favorite racing game of all times
Need for Speed: Most Wanted delivers an exhilarating arcade racing experience wrapped in a thrilling cops-and-racers narrative. You'll rise through the ranks of the Blacklist, taking on rivals in high-speed street races while outmaneuvering ever-persistent police forces. The game boasts a solid roster of customizable cars, intense pursuits, and a satisfying progression system where defeating rivals unlocks their rides. While the story may be a bit cheesy, Need for Speed: Most Wanted offers pure adrenaline-fueled fun for fans of street racing.
Masterpiece 2!
Se nota el downgrade pero es un juegazo
I so badly wanted to like this game and when I was younger I loved it but it is just so shit once you get towards the end of the game. The milestone challenges are awful, the police AI is atrocious, the racer AI is the fastest thing to ever exist with how much slingshot/catch up they have. Just so annoying and frustrating I have never been happier to finish a game and it is a shame because I went in so excited thinking of how much I enjoyed this game as a child but I must have enjoyed it because I wasn't able to tell what was wrong with it.
The first need for speed game that gave me the need for speed!
There is something so nostalgic coming back to this game. Lots of times this game is praised and often the GOAT of the Need for speed franchise when Underground 2 isn't compared. To me this is the game that made me become a racing game fan.
Coming into the game The soundtrack and atmosphere prepares you for one of the tightest most addicting career modes NFS has to offer. The cars well there are plenty to see and customize here from Lambos, to Porches to the Iconic BMW M3. Everyone in the neighborhood wanted that car so badly and even more so to play it at the end. As far as I remember I felt really immersed in the game with its fun (albeit cringe in hindsight) cutscenes and it really sold me into the game world as well as the voice acting from Razor (#1 Villain on the blacklist). Bundle that with 14 other racers that all have distinct cars and personality that only the imagination came come up with from the photo they have for each racer. You have yourself a really great experience that has yet to be replicated to this day.
Despite its age, NFS MW 05 still plays pretty well. Racing is fluid and responsive. The Time stop mechanic certainly takes alot of the challenge out from near corners but still a challenging experience. Where I feel like the game shines is in its Bounty Pursuits. Pursuits can feel intense at high speeds especially when the police can also reach those high speeds and they start catching up to you as your "Heat level" rises. Eventually they put out spikes and roadblocks to really make sure to get BUSTED. From Standard Police cruisers to Police Corvettes they were no joke at the end and had to lock it in haha. Hands down my favorite cop chases in NFS.
Where I feel like the game struggled quite a bit is in its progression system. Do not get me wrong, seeing the Blacklist racers was a nice touch but when it comes to brass tax, it comes down to repeating the same races at times. Luckily there is enough variety here and freedom of choice to really get down what you are the best at to become the most wanted racer. Rubber banding is non stop here, It felt unfair at times where the racer would be 1 minute behind you on the split and then 9 seconds later they are bumper to bumper near you towards the final turn of the race. It felt a little unfair but I managed.
Need for Speed Most wanted is easily top 5 Need for speed games of all time. Iconic game all around from its soundtrack, cutscenes, cars, chases, everything! Gameplay is addicting and I can't wait to start playing its Sequel Need for Speed Carbon. It really gave me the need for speed lol.
