Probably there is no person on this planet, who has never heard about Need for Speed aka NFS. This is the most popular racing game simulator nowadays. The game that we are about to present to you is one of the most famous ones for this game series – Need for Speed Most Wanted 1.0. It was released back in 2005.

Gameplay

Need for Speed Most Wanted is a really superb racing game. It might not compete with its newest rivals, but it can definitely entertain you for months. Need for Speed Most Wanted provides games with NOS systems just like all games of the series, which regenerate over time. In order to increase the realism, the designers of NFS have added a blurry effect, so when you activate the NOS system, everything around you loses focus and the only thing you see is the road in front of you. The shortcuts are probably one of the things, which make this game special. They provide you with the opportunity to catch up on your opponents much easier.

Need for Speed Most Wanted 1.0 includes a new mode too – Speedtrap. In this mode, it is all about top speed records by speedtrap cameras. The rest of the well-known modes are available too like Circuit, Sprint, Lap Knockout and Drag.

Unfortunately, controlling vehicles and steering is too easy and childish. There is so much grip and it kills the fun. Basically, it is impossible to spin the car even if you use the hand brake. During our test, we were driving with 150 MPH and try to turn left and right. The tires had so much grip, so the car turned like it was moving on rails.

When it comes to tuning parts, you won't be disappointed for sure. The designers of EA Games have implemented a whole bunch of hoods, bumpers, spoilers, vinyl and other tuning parts. Besides just changing the way your car looks, you can change the way it drives too.

Graphics

According to standards of 2005, Need for Speed Most Wanted really stands out from the crowd. The level of detail is just superior, especially when it comes to car tuning. However since this particular version of the game is a demo, you can only access two stock and two tuned cars.

Sound

Need for Speed Most Wanted includes a really awesome selection of music. All sounds are really realistic.

Conclusion

Need for Speed Most Wanted is a racing game, which will remain in game history for sure. It bundles all possible factors applicable for the street racing culture – extremely fast cars, style and music. If you want to be part of it, please do not hesitate to download and try Need for Speed Most Wanted.
