While Most Wanted has definitely proven to be the best NFS game since the Underground Era began, this, like every EA franchise, has simply become a franchise that gets released too often without enough new content being implemented. My attitude towards racing games is growing increasingly pessimistic; at some point they (the producers) will be sitting at a table having a meeting for developing a new game and they'll only be able to say, "What can we do now?" There's only so many things you can do with cars, and I think they've all been explored and exploited enough times.
I'll probably pirate it, not because EA doesn't deserve my money (though they lost that right about the time NHL 2003 came out), but because I've enjoyed the NFS games enough to give it a try. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

I don't care what anyone says; NFS3:HP was the best game in the series. Pursuit mode was the reason why.
Additional Spam: This is my biggest pet peeve of racing games; they are likely generations away from making a racing game that has a proper AI. By proper, for myself, I'd say AI that isn't going to destroy you if you fuck up a little (see NFS:Underground) but not AI that looks, feels and behaves like they're in a rail-shooting game (see Gran Turismo 1, 2, 3 and 4). AI that's clever enough to know how to fuck you up (pit maneuvers, clipping, bumping, drifting, et. al.) and only gets devastating on higher difficulty levels. The only racing game from this generation or the last I actually enjoyed was Rallisport Challenge 2, believe it or not, because the AI actually played you really well and I felt challenged by it. I think the tuner bullshit is what's ruined the NFS series. If they had you racing stock cars and focused on that, I think I'd be much more pleased with the end product than I am with all this "GET THE BEST TURBOCHARGER BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT MAKES YOU GO FASTER THAN YOUR OPPONENTS EVEN THOUGH THEY'LL STILL CATCH UP TO YOU" shit. There's nowhere I can't reach.
