This was my first, and only, NFS title that I truly enjoyed. I am personally not into any racing games but I enjoyed the police chases (which seemed pretty fun, as well advanced programming, at the time), as well the career mode.

The most iconic game in the NFS series. It was an important part of my childhood. I had a great time playing this game with my friends. This game still looks awesome, and I want the current generation to enjoy it as well on their modern systems.

Pour moi, c'est le deuxième meilleur épisode dans l'ambiance des need for speed, un open world agréable à parcourir, un peu de tuning, des courses et des poursuites où Gandalf pourrait dire "fuyez pauvres fous"

The best storyline combined with ultimate fun being chased by and crashing polive cars in set-up traps makes this my all-time favorite game. Although the car editor is not quite as good as that of NFS UG2, I still spent maybe 100s of hours of hours in it!

There is no 90s born kid that didnt drool when this game came out... that didn't glue his/her eyes to the screen trying to move up the blacklist. This game wrote history... a leviathan among racing games. How did they made it soo simple yet soo good? The only, ONLY downside is that it hasnt got licence for more cars than the 60+ or so that the game already has.

This is the first time a play such a good Need For Speed game, the speed, the story and the choice for custom and vehicule available. I was a bit disappointed when they release most wanted 2012
Artistic street style and badass soundtrack with chases are unforgettable. Countless hours I spent on PS2 and it is one of my loved titles I time to time play through emulators.
NFS: Most Wanted showed on my radar when I was in university. I moved to a new city, in a new state. I didn’t know anyone but I overheard a group of people talking Most Wanted and decided to join in the conversation. I wouldn’t have expected what that simple act would bring. Some of my most cherished friends – some who would kick my **** every race haha.
