Metareview -- NFS Most Wanted (Xbox 360)

By James Ransom-Wiley

There's certainly no shortage of racers in the Xbox 360 launch lineup, but which one is right for you?
Microsoft would appreciate your Project Gotham Racing 3 investment, and a Ridge Racer appearance is certainly tempting, however, you might prefer to stick with your beloved Need for Speed franchise. But is the next-gen version of a multi-platform title worth your top-dollar? Perhaps you need some critical advice:

  • 1UP (85/100) – "Although
    it's a very good looking game on the new box, and by no means as guilty of the crimes committed by the likes of
    Gun and Tony Hawk, it does seem to be somewhat hampered visually by its brothers on Xbox and
    PS2."

  • GameSpot (84/100) – "All things considered, if you're in the market for an Xbox 360 and you require a driving game, Need for Speed Most Wanted is a great choice."

  • TotalGames.net (78/100) – "[This] latest Need For
    Speed     adventure doesn't quite have the weight to match [the likes of Project Gotham Racing 3]."
