Need for Speed Most Wanted is one of the most beloved street racing games of all time. Here's why. Subscribe for more: czcams.com/users/gameranxTV?su...
When i was a kid playing on ps2, i accidentaly found that by myself, i was like " Hmmm, police cant catch me in the bus station, thats weird " from that day, my pursuits were always around that area
What I did back then to lose the cops was to do several loops at the highway destroying cops and once I had the milestones and bounty I needed I just go to the stadium and destroy all cops with the pursuit breaker, then also there is a hiding spot so I could finish the pursuit faster
"Doesn't get enough love". i don't know how it is over there, wherever you're at. But in my country, Most wanted is everyone's favorite car racing game.
Cool vid, I worked on this game. We had just finished underground 1 & 2 before working on it. The layout of the world needed a lot of work when I came on to it. It was a mess but we got it sorted. The env was huge and probably double the size of underground2. We used the xbox360 as the dev platform, and we loved the ability to do a time of day change and wide open areas like the shipyard which I worked on. Many of us had worked on hot pursuit 2 , so it was great to bring back cops. Looking back the first four games were great. Hot pursuit 2, ug 1 & 2 plus most wanted. Then it sort fell apart after that, EA were churning out the games every year, it was stressful to make a game in a year. We lost the motivation and desire, when you’re churning out racing games every year. Anyways it is great to see the love, after all those late nights working on the game back in the day.
Your comment should be pinned. Thanks for helping to create one of my most favourite childhood games. Now I understand why the games started to go downhill after Most Wanted too.
Thanks for your hard work I still enjoy playing this game till this day, such an amazing game, hope you doing well and this comment can show my appreciation because I genuinely enjoy Need for Speed : Most Wanted
The police chases. Everything from the engine roars, the police radio chatter, and the intensity of it made it a spectacle. I’m convinced they hired actual police officers to either write the dialogue or voice it, it’s so genuine sounding.
When the Corvettes start rolling out, you knew it was time to hide or it was a matter of time before your car gets impounded. haha My favorite spots were in and around the stadium. I don't remember exactly but my best chase and escape was something like 33 minutes. It was tense af.
Never cared enough to play NFS games that came out after MW 2005. But played Heat recently and I gotta say that the game is solid, with much harder cop chase and car customizations although the story is way too short than I like and also shitty handling. And bad soundtrack.
granted that I skipped carbon when it came out and didn't play it until around the release of the "other" most wanted but when i did play it it never reached my expectations, it felt far too short and didn't have the charm for me that the others up to hot pursuit 2010 gave. good game but not what i was hoping for. now Prostreet on the other hand was imo extremely underrated
Debatable. I really disliked Carbon, in particular its enhanced tuning section. It was rather overwhelming and closer to a sim, rather than to an arcade racing game.
This game is the reason I love cars. The M3 GTR and the Ford GT were my absolute favorite cars. I remember doing a three hour chase with the Ford GT (I found a glitch that I could just stay still and the cops would never get to me, so I left the PS2 on while my mom made me go to the grocery store with her) and my Ford GT ended up with a $50+million dollar bounty lmao
Yeah, gas... I mean, the bus station, if that was a glitch, it was a glitch that everyone used. Sadly, police can sometimes get there by sheer luck on their part, so when you actually go to the store, you might come back to a busted screen.
NFS World: Am I joke to you? Also believe or not the fanbase is so toxic and every for the smallest wrong detail they will complain and it will end up like NFS Heat. And do you make a difference between a remaster or remake? I guess not.
I just loved how they handeled the story. You get a few races as a test trial in your car that's just the best in the game. The amount of grip, downforce and oversteer it had was simply perfect and made taking corners significantly easier than any other car in the game. The sound of the engine of the BMW was also very iconic (thus far they tried to recreate the car, but if it isn't the same engine sound, than it's simply not the same car). AND it was the ONLY BMW in the game, there was no other BMW you could get or buy, which made it even more iconic.
I played NFSMW in 2008 when I was six. It's the first racing game I played. I instantly fall in love with this masterpiece. Underground ofcourse is amazing, but nothing can replace NFSMW.
This game was one huge contributor to my music library. I started listening to Disturbed and Bullet for My Valentine, and loved it because of it (back when I was like 8 or so). I’m still a metalhead to this day and while I had already gotten introduced to the genre through Linkin Park and I was starting to get into Slipknot, this game showed me cool new bands. I remember just getting hyped every time Hand of Blood or Decadence started playing. Or Celldweller’ Shapeshifter or One Good Reason (song which unfortunately is just an instrumental due to the lyric theme). Favorite NFS of the series and one of my all time favorite games!
@@pratyushgupta8999 doesn't always work, sometimes even tuning both the turbo/supercharger and nitro for maximum acceleration wouldn't get you out of that
@@weirdautumn that's a massive understatement, with the higher heat levels the police got so insanely aggressive you'd be lucky to lose the cops for even just a second
It was ALWAYS Underground vs Most Wanted. Every racing game nerd had this argument with their friends. And there was always that one kid, "Yeah but.. Carbon." Also, Midnight Club. Early 2000's were poppin' for racing
@@Siegward0fCatarina It was a masterpiece for it's time. A remaster would improve the original game with better graphics, textures, performance etc so it runs better on mordern devices.
It should be noted the greatest thing about this game was playing online, you would see everyone playing on the track “omega”, because you glitch out of the map and play essentially an open world online which was mind blowing at the time. I remember playing tag in online when we hit open world, so much fun :3 Pure nostalgia
@Soumyajit Podder not enough for me to choose sorry And Own The City was a gritty story between brothers, so its not awful, the ones that were awful are Most Wanted, Carbon, and 2015
@Soumyajit Podder Few weeks ago I was playing heat. It has a lot of cool customizations but felt lackluster with mediocre music, weird handling and bland characters/storyline. It is ok but no way near titles like MW and Carbon. Although I respect your opinion.
I actually loved it when they tried the front on tactic I would wait last second to hit speed break and then just dart to the right or left and watch them plow into there fellow officers and disable half the crew thats chasing me which just made my job of running a lot easier
@@mastersus9826 just hit em in the back with the right position, pretty much every police car will flip. It's so satisfying to watch everytime that happens.
Unlike the previous arcade-style Hot Pursuit games, Most Wanted really made you feel like a badass outlaw street racer. Combine that with the open world and customization options, and you have the perfect blend of Hot Pursuit and Underground. An absolute masterpiece that will stand the test of time.
I used to play this on my Pentium 4 PC 😢 in 2006, nostalgia at its peak. I have now moved to the Forza series but still miss the OG NFS days. Underground 2 and Most Wanted were one of my favs in the nfs Franchising.
Still my absolute favourite in the NFS series. But I feel the Shift editions were truly under appreciated. Those felt like EA genuinely trying to create a more simulation type variant, but gave up due as they didn't really sell that well.
The game is a legend. I think I haven’t replayed any of the games like this one. 20+ replays. And to this day I still replay it at least once a year. Story mode was awesome. Soundtrack was amazing. LAN with my friends after school. Dayum, I am on a nostalgia trip and will probably go replay it now since I still have it on my old PC.
I do it too I replay it almost every year, I must have beaten it on the PS2 Twice and around 10 times on PC Last year I got my hands on the Xbox 360 version, and I'm beating it for the second time since
I played need for speed back when hot pursuit was a thing. To me, this was the best need for speed. It was always day, so it was a different take than underground had. Plus when you have corvette cops after you plus a chopper and heavy SUVs, your adrenaline was pumping nicely.
I remember my friend and I had actually broken the game because we found a route where we could endlessly to a pursuit and end it exactly when we wanted every time and get away every time.
Yea, the developers actually put time and energy into a game that worked even with a few glitches, but not game breaking. Nowadays they launch a game and it's broken (like hardcore game breaking glitches) on release for months. Until the developers realize they need to fix it.
@@blackonblack...9244 Not sure the blame lies on the developers, but likely the publishers who want to get it out as early as possible to start selling copies.
@@philithegamer8265 Feels like a lifetime ago.... I was 11ish? Anyone who is around 26-28 probably might be able to relate to my progression of some of the most iconic games of our time.... age of empires1/2 AOM, og rollercoaster tycoon, NFS underground 2 and mw, neopets,pokemon,RuneScape,tekken 4/soul calibur, mw2,black ops 1-2, league of legends.
This was one of my favorite racing games even to this day. My favorite car was the Ford Gt which I frequently used to beat Razor with with ease and could easily outrun any pursuit without using chase breakers. Would hands down by a remastered version as soon as it comes out.
I loved this game so much that I finished it twice, played it online, unlocked all cars to their best possible upgrades but I remember one particular moment that almost gave me a heart attack. This was the best nfs game hands down.
Only twice 🤯🤯🤯 I was four playing this game an throwin the remote getting mad. I’ve done beat this game over 100+ times an now I’m 21 they need to re make this game ❗️❗️❗️❗️🤌
People come on best driving experience best graphical update (for its time) ,killer story that had so much follow up potential and trust be told every NFS after that game tanked .
thanks to this game, back in 2005, I learnt how to put the gearbox into Manual settings, it changed my racing games experience forever. I never used automatic ever since.. and before buying a Nfs I do a lot of research, never bought one still.. Hope they get a great one like this was back then.
I really wish they would remaster Most Wanted and Carbon and package them together. I would buy it instantly. I hope someone who can make that happen is listening lol
Only if the remaster includes split screen. Hot pursuit remaster was a tremendous let down cause they took away what makes a racing game great. SPLIT SCREEN.
NFS Hot Pursuit 2 on PS2 is by far superior to NFS Hot Pursuit 09 lol that was one of the worst need for speeds any need for speed that came out after Most Wanted lost it's original meaning of what a NFS game should be my view comes from playing all of the OG titles on the old PS1 back in the mid and late 90s
This was the sickest of all racing games. I remember being miles ahead in the first race and then when the BMW started sputtering actually screaming at the screen.
I used to play snk or nintendo games like street fighter, kof those days, when my parents bought me my first pc in 2006 and i played these game I'm truly astonished to see the graphics, that was groundbreaking for me, i have no idea a game could be that much realistic. For me its like showing a smartphone to a cave man. I miss those old days😭
One of my favourite childhood games, even to this day its still my favourite racing game. Sometimes older games have that charm of being simpler yet still amazingly fun. Finished the game a year or so ago but might replay it again.
Police chases and the soundtrack was very old school police chase movies.. and cops were fun. First stage, Squad cars chase you, then interceptors, then comes the Rhynos, SUVs that do ram you. Cops AI had the boxing technique like real cops, The SUV AI did what they do in real life and your car would get damaged. Then you would find road blocks and stripes to puncture your tires. This system meant ONE HIT, YOU ARE OUT. Also the Helicopter chases, but no silly electrical guns and things we saw in the next Most wanted by Criterion, which felt gamy and fake. I think, people want some realism, not just arcade style fun all the time.
This game has been a go-to for me for years now. I'm currently 18 and have been playing this game since I was 9 years old on PS2. It's a legit masterpiece. From the sense of speed while the handling mechanics have you planted to the ground going 180mph on a sharp corner, to the storyline and memorable characters and cutscenes and massive pursuits. In my opinion, the best racing game of all time. Only thing that can top this for me is a remaster that stays true to the original.
Most Wanted helped me when I was suffering from these daily anxiety attacks. I eventually figured out what was causing them but at the time, it was the only game I could play that let me escape my mind completely and focus on the race. Every day I'd play the game for as long as the soundtrack goes front to back.
Hands Down this is the best Racing game by far. I remembered playing 48 hours without any Sleep this game was from another Planet especially when you hear Disturbed decadence
Favorite momments: When I realized that instrumental musics was playing the first police chase. I didnt want to believe it could be in a rocky and rappes environmental game. That was awesome. Plus these instrumental police chase musics are adrenalin bombs. When the music is playing, 30 police cars behind you, and they are screaming on the radio with you. To this days, the cold shakes me. Ahhh good memories. My brother and I always competed on how many bounty points we could collect. My record is: 27 million. My brother: 32 million. :D
@@a1goldenrunner That was more of just another NFS game in the series. They just took the most wanted list idea and made a new game out of it, still a good nfs tho
And we had the Black Edition of it (Deluxe Edition nowadays) which contained some more cars, a few number of extra music, stock m3 gtr and a secondary cd with some werks and behind the scenes.
I must be the only ass hole who thinks the driving physics of the 2005 version are absolute garbage compared to the 2012 version. course I just drive and don't worry about "winning" the game, aside from dodging cops, so I guess I have a biased opinion. I would say the mw2005 physics are somewhere between nfs4 and mw2012. just my opinion, I understand if everyone disagrees.
Nearly all arcade racing studios underrate the importance of a good soundtrack. Same with dirt series: my favorite is still Dirt 2, because the soundtrack.
Yes I remember this game it was a demo when I played pc and I think it was full game😆 but those memories with this game was heart touching ❤ (golden days)....my first nfs game was this masterpiece 👌
0:34 "One that doesn't get enough love even still to this day" Are you serious? MW is the most beloved NFS game of all time. Even more than underground 2, but slightly.
Underground 2 was awesome, but most wanted was out of this world. Everything was awesome, story, cars, soundtrack just to name a few. I don't know how many times my big brother played the story mode of this game, surely more than 5 times. My favorite car was Mitsubishi Lancer Evo.
Best one out, and my favorite was DB9 😁👍 My parents even got a wheel and peddle for my PS2 for that game I wanna get it on my Xbox s but I can't find it on there store
Although I was born in 2007, my favorite nfs game is most wanted (2005) and even while playing nfs: no limits, I found a bmw m3 gtr event and there was even a razor in this event.
@@philithegamer8265 Insane soundtrack, perfect sense of speed, enjoyable physics, police chase music that gives you shivers, the fear of losing all the bounty during the chase, perfect characters that you love to hate (Cross, Razor), amazing real people cutscenes, realistic police radio chatting, Iconic M3 GTR, aggressive car engine sounds, the chance of winning blacklist member car, progressive heat levels, very good artwork (graphitti style). It's not ovehyped it's truly a good game, don't get me started with san andreas that's a masterpiece...
@@philithegamer8265 dude u high? First you shit on NFS MW then GTA SA two hella good games. Either your a troll or have terrible taste. What do you play? CoD mobile?
I enjoy carbon, replay it just recently with most wanted. One thing that I don't like was the police. I feel like the police in carbon, even a lvl 1 police car, most of the time feels unnaturally fast compared to most wanted.
There are fairly some underloved NFS if we talk about the modern community. Some stuff like Porsche unleashed, Prostreet, and The Run are some of the quite under the radar in the racing pop culture
I'm surprised I managed to get a 450mhz Pentium 3 to run this game as well as I did years ago. The setup I was running then was two computers connected to a switch. One computer I would use just for storage and would have mapped network drives. So I would install the games on a mapped network drive. Nowadays you can do this on a TrueNAS box using an iscsi setup. For me games would run a lot smoother and faster that way than on just one computer. It was a workaround for sure but it worked rather well. I might have maxed my ram on my dell optiplex (SDRAM was quite expensive those days as it was obsolete then) and had a $60 or $70 ati graphics card I bought from walmart installed. I put a lot of time into this game and Morrowind both being enjoyable experiences. I had played the Underground games those were great. However, the Hot Pursuit games left a lot to be desired. Most Wanted for me was a good merger of the Hot Pursuit and Underground series. I used to think of it as Underground 3 at the time but its something else entirely.
Anyone who actually had the glorious opportunity to play NSFW MW online (I had it on Xbox 360) will know the joy of finding out you can get out of the map on a certain circuit and being able to roam the entire map with your friends. It was like a precursor to the Horizon series. I wonder how many people actually got truly experience the online gameplay. I will forever miss it and cherish the memories forever
NFS has never been able to rediscover its form from the golden era that was Underground 1 & 2, MW 05 and Carbon. A couple of titles since have been decent but nothing has touched those 4 imo.
**Incoming phone call** "Hey Hotshot! hey,thanks for helping us out! We have been able to pick up every blacklist racers thank to you! Now I take that into the consideration if you give yourself up. So what's gonna be?"
Honestly, i have no idea. I just loved it and enjoyed the music and various areas you could drive to. Plus the idea of a list of drivers to drive against, kept it fresh since they each had their own style and wha tnot
Still remember those days when I used to copy my profile file before every rival race so that if I don't get the pink slip marker would again use the old profile file and challenge the rival once again. This way I collected all rival cars
@@philithegamer8265 It means that I found the game extremely good to play. The physics, the risk/reward of being in police chases, the way the difficulty rose as I defeated blacklist members, the complete feeling of the open world, the car choices etc. I hadn't felt that excited playing a game since I played Need for Speed 3: Hot pursuit back in the day, doing 2 player on one keyboard with my friends. It just felt right, and it kept me coming back for more. I finished that game multiple times. At least 6 times on ps2 and 5 times on xbox360.
NFSIII: Hot Pursuit was alright, but the one I couldn't put down was NFS Hot Pursuit 2. If I couldn't be with friends playing it, we were calling each other trying to beat each others best times and the only way to prove it was to bring a memory card with you when you went over to their house. Even though there was only ever 2 cop cars and a helicopter on you at once, there's just another level of adrenaline when dodging spike strips, airborne spike strips, bombs, and missiles. Now THAT is an NFS that deserves to be remade
My computer sucked in 2005 and I had to wait for 50-60 sec everytime a new race starts up. At least 3 mins to load the game lobby, but still loved it! Best NFS ever! Challenge series had new cars and I had to complete it.
This game just had a great formula. EA nailed the story mode, the police pursuit and milestone integration for progression was amazing. I remember just grinding out level 4 and 5 heat levels just because the pursuits were fun, and having enough bounty for the next blacklist racer after the one I was on.
I finished career mode in Need For Speed Most Wanted like 7 or 8 times. Even this day, I want to play. I liked this game very much. Porsche Cayman engine sound is amazing. BMW M3 GTR handling was so good. I kept older pc for playing Underground 2, Most Wanted etc.
I Got To Say That If It Wasn't The Most wanted I Wasn't Watching This Video Or Playing Racing Games For Over 12 years , it Was My First Ever Racing Game That I Played and I Got It From My Uncle , Unfortunately He Past for A Year New Do To The Coved 19 and This Game Is The Only Thing I Have Left Frome Hem ,R.I.P
My favorite NFS and I’ve been playing them since NFS3 on PS1. Best part about NFSMW was the pink slip marker you could get at the end of every boss race. If I didn’t get it I would restart the game and try again until I had them all. The unique vinyls and upgrades made it worth the time.
Yeah same bro especially that Asian dude's Lambo, that thing had crazy parts in it that you couldn't get normally and could be improved. End up being my fastest car by far!
Every OG Most Wanted fan should remember being on max heat level and going to the bus station to lose the cops. Lol
When i was a kid playing on ps2, i accidentaly found that by myself, i was like " Hmmm, police cant catch me in the bus station, thats weird " from that day, my pursuits were always around that area
That was the shit, go on top of the bus station sit there let the cops go crazy, fill up the heat wave while the bounty increases. Good times!
i always knew about a cooldown spot that was op
@@voodoodiecast but sometimes some cops randomly will come close to you so you gotta watch out
What I did back then to lose the cops was to do several loops at the highway destroying cops and once I had the milestones and bounty I needed I just go to the stadium and destroy all cops with the pursuit breaker, then also there is a hiding spot so I could finish the pursuit faster

This game was one huge contributor to my music library. I started listening to Disturbed and Bullet for My Valentine, and loved it because of it (back when I was like 8 or so). I’m still a metalhead to this day and while I had already gotten introduced to the genre through Linkin Park and I was starting to get into Slipknot, this game showed me cool new bands. I remember just getting hyped every time Hand of Blood or Decadence started playing. Or Celldweller’ Shapeshifter or One Good Reason (song which unfortunately is just an instrumental due to the lyric theme). Favorite NFS of the series and one of my all time favorite games!
Shit I forgot about that Avenged Sevenfold song Blinded in Chains. What a sick tune!
Tilted by Lupe fiasco was one of my favs
@mr.keiser4259 same here, this was a big contributor to my music likes & dislikes. This and Tony hawk proskater 4.
This soundtrack got me into disturbed, celldweller and many more
When the a.i. police cars actually boxed you in. There’s no escape from that.
nope use nitro it can push em
Fukin spikes man.....
Police comes after you so hard in this game
@@pratyushgupta8999 doesn't always work, sometimes even tuning both the turbo/supercharger and nitro for maximum acceleration wouldn't get you out of that
@@weirdautumn that's a massive understatement, with the higher heat levels the police got so insanely aggressive you'd be lucky to lose the cops for even just a second
- How many people should love and appreciate this game?
Cross - "EVERYONE!"
YESSIRRRRR
Could definitely hear cross's EVERYONE!
It was ALWAYS Underground vs Most Wanted. Every racing game nerd had this argument with their friends. And there was always that one kid, "Yeah but.. Carbon." Also, Midnight Club. Early 2000's were poppin' for racing
that's brilliant))

We just need a remastered version of this masterpiece!
If it's a masterpiece then why do you need a remaster of it?
@@Siegward0fCatarina it's a masterpiece of it's era.this is whole new era with advanced graphics and mechanics.
@@Siegward0fCatarina It was a masterpiece for it's time. A remaster would improve the original game with better graphics, textures, performance etc so it runs better on mordern devices.
@@Legion849 you can always mod it tho. the game is abandoned. EA most likely won''t sue you for modding
It should be noted the greatest thing about this game was playing online, you would see everyone playing on the track “omega”, because you glitch out of the map and play essentially an open world online which was mind blowing at the time. I remember playing tag in online when we hit open world, so much fun :3 Pure nostalgia
THIS is the best NFS. Sadly, this series has lost its touch now.
Only Underground and MW fanboys think that, dude.
Payback and HEAT is good but lack of cars and customizations thats all but for story line, Carbon Own The City and No Limits are top tier
Fr, I still play it. Wish they remade it again
@Soumyajit Podder not enough for me to choose sorry
And Own The City was a gritty story between brothers, so its not awful, the ones that were awful are Most Wanted, Carbon, and 2015
@Soumyajit Podder Few weeks ago I was playing heat. It has a lot of cool customizations but felt lackluster with mediocre music, weird handling and bland characters/storyline. It is ok but no way near titles like MW and Carbon. Although I respect your opinion.
about the cop chases, you forgot the two Rhino SUV's trying front-impact with player
Indeed! First time meeting those is a shock.
yea the best terrifying moment
Reminds me for the suv roadblock so hard to make that thing fly lmao
I actually loved it when they tried the front on tactic I would wait last second to hit speed break and then just dart to the right or left and watch them plow into there fellow officers and disable half the crew thats chasing me which just made my job of running a lot easier
@@mastersus9826 just hit em in the back with the right position, pretty much every police car will flip. It's so satisfying to watch everytime that happens.
Unlike the previous arcade-style Hot Pursuit games, Most Wanted really made you feel like a badass outlaw street racer. Combine that with the open world and customization options, and you have the perfect blend of Hot Pursuit and Underground. An absolute masterpiece that will stand the test of time.
I used to play this on my Pentium 4 PC 😢 in 2006, nostalgia at its peak. I have now moved to the Forza series but still miss the OG NFS days. Underground 2 and Most Wanted were one of my favs in the nfs Franchising.
Timing your boost to every chorus of Disturbed's "Decadence" is basically zen in this game.
ON GOD
Decadence and Skinnyman were the perfect jam. But almost all the songs were bangers. Still listen to a few till this day.
I must say this song gets you in the zone and also gets you hyped.
I knew I wasn't the only one who did this. My brother's lol
lmao i can totally relate.
i swear to god this need for speed made me become a metalhead
When we talk about Need for Speed everyone remember Most Wanted.
You mean EVERYONE!!!😉
@@Ranger-1132 yes LOL
Underground 2 is still my favorite. But most wanted is a very close second
@@fourwheelerjock underground had some good night roads
NFS 2
Still my absolute favourite in the NFS series. But I feel the Shift editions were truly under appreciated. Those felt like EA genuinely trying to create a more simulation type variant, but gave up due as they didn't really sell that well.
Here in India, very few know underground series. But EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE loves Most Wanted. It's been my favorite NFS Game ever.
I remember those days when getting busted by cops, Alt + F4 straight and closing the game right away XD
Yeah same here
Yes! My cousin use the same trick.
ahaha i smiled :)
Same on the ps2 and xbox.i would turn it off as soon i would get busted.
Lol, i do that most of the time.. or take them down one by one on that Circle road track and cool down on the golf course..
The game is a legend. I think I haven’t replayed any of the games like this one. 20+ replays. And to this day I still replay it at least once a year. Story mode was awesome. Soundtrack was amazing. LAN with my friends after school. Dayum, I am on a nostalgia trip and will probably go replay it now since I still have it on my old PC.
I do it too
I replay it almost every year, I must have beaten it on the PS2 Twice and around 10 times on PC
Last year I got my hands on the Xbox 360 version, and I'm beating it for the second time since
I don't know why but I feel like we're old boomers talking about stuff back in the day

Did you get your revenge on geralt yet ? Master mirror
@@abdallanassar9124 planning it at the moment. That son of a gun is a tough guy.
I played need for speed back when hot pursuit was a thing. To me, this was the best need for speed. It was always day, so it was a different take than underground had. Plus when you have corvette cops after you plus a chopper and heavy SUVs, your adrenaline was pumping nicely.
I remember my friend and I had actually broken the game because we found a route where we could endlessly to a pursuit and end it exactly when we wanted every time and get away every time.
why it was the best? Bcs games had a soul back then
Yea, the developers actually put time and energy into a game that worked even with a few glitches, but not game breaking. Nowadays they launch a game and it's broken (like hardcore game breaking glitches) on release for months. Until the developers realize they need to fix it.
@@blackonblack...9244 Not sure the blame lies on the developers, but likely the publishers who want to get it out as early as possible to start selling copies.

This was one of my favorite racing games even to this day. My favorite car was the Ford Gt which I frequently used to beat Razor with with ease and could easily outrun any pursuit without using chase breakers. Would hands down by a remastered version as soon as it comes out.
I loved this game so much that I finished it twice, played it online, unlocked all cars to their best possible upgrades but I remember one particular moment that almost gave me a heart attack. This was the best nfs game hands down.
i agree with you.
Only twice 🤯🤯🤯 I was four playing this game an throwin the remote getting mad. I’ve done beat this game over 100+ times an now I’m 21 they need to re make this game ❗️❗️❗️❗️🤌

Finally the truth is spoken Most wanted was the best NFS
not better as good’ol NFS2 with split screen 2 player mode 😂

People come on best driving experience best graphical update (for its time) ,killer story that had so much follow up potential and trust be told every NFS after that game tanked .
@@williamf739 im joking im sure it was a good game Payback, and Heat were very dull but I did like NFS in 2015
no hsn
customization can be endless in that game, I remember designing my own vinyl wraps and baking them into the game files, really fun times
thanks to this game, back in 2005, I learnt how to put the gearbox into Manual settings, it changed my racing games experience forever. I never used automatic ever since.. and before buying a Nfs I do a lot of research, never bought one still.. Hope they get a great one like this was back then.
Inspired me to learn manual in real life too
I really wish they would remaster Most Wanted and Carbon and package them together. I would buy it instantly. I hope someone who can make that happen is listening lol
Only if the remaster includes split screen. Hot pursuit remaster was a tremendous let down cause they took away what makes a racing game great. SPLIT SCREEN.
Man that would be a dream. I'm not a huge racing game enthusiast but those 2 games, I really loved them
when ea changed new ceo and new regulation is the time we see light of hope in the darkness era
We can dream 😞
Underground, Most Wanted, and Carbon story lines all in 1 giant free world would be KING
Need this remastered ASAP.
after underground 2
I agree 😩
Can't wait to beat razor again on remastered
I second this Motion lol
I never beaten the og game i NEED this
This will FOREVER be my favorite Need for Speed.
The Cars, The Career, The OST, The Gameplay, The Cops, The Difficulty. Everything is perfect in this game!
My top 3 NFS games:
1. Nfs most wanted
2. Nfs underground 2
3. Nfs hot pursuit (2009/10)
🙏🙏
NFS Hot Pursuit 2 on PS2 is by far superior to NFS Hot Pursuit 09 lol that was one of the worst need for speeds any need for speed that came out after Most Wanted lost it's original meaning of what a NFS game should be my view comes from playing all of the OG titles on the old PS1 back in the mid and late 90s
1.most wanted
2.need for speed high stakes

I used to play snk or nintendo games like street fighter, kof those days, when my parents bought me my first pc in 2006 and i played these game I'm truly astonished to see the graphics, that was groundbreaking for me, i have no idea a game could be that much realistic. For me its like showing a smartphone to a cave man. I miss those old days😭
One of my favourite childhood games, even to this day its still my favourite racing game. Sometimes older games have that charm of being simpler yet still amazingly fun. Finished the game a year or so ago but might replay it again.
Back when Devs pour all their heart to make a memorable game.
Back when games were just made. Now it's hype, how can we monetize, are we trending, ect.
@@liloreoinya now they're no even finished🤣
Now u have purchase a dlc to activate the cop traps
that's why we don't have games like this these days. ALL about the quick fast buck on hype train with tonne's of over priced dlc.
Many developers still do man, but their greedy bosses would rather please the investors rather than us gamers:(
Love it when you guys talk about the old classics! Gaming is in a boring state nowadays.
Exactly. Speaking of old classics, I'm literally replaying Quake and The Suffering now. Most Wanted will probably be next
Police chases and the soundtrack was very old school police chase movies..
and cops were fun.
First stage, Squad cars chase you, then interceptors, then comes the Rhynos, SUVs that do ram you.
Cops AI had the boxing technique like real cops, The SUV AI did what they do in real life and your car would get damaged.
Then you would find road blocks and stripes to puncture your tires.
This system meant ONE HIT, YOU ARE OUT.
Also the Helicopter chases, but no silly electrical guns and things we saw in the next Most wanted by Criterion, which felt gamy and fake.
I think, people want some realism, not just arcade style fun all the time.
This game has been a go-to for me for years now. I'm currently 18 and have been playing this game since I was 9 years old on PS2. It's a legit masterpiece. From the sense of speed while the handling mechanics have you planted to the ground going 180mph on a sharp corner, to the storyline and memorable characters and cutscenes and massive pursuits. In my opinion, the best racing game of all time. Only thing that can top this for me is a remaster that stays true to the original.
Bruh Most Wanted is easily the best NFS game, hell it’s probably the best racing game of all time, it definitely gets the love it deserves.
@JS Rayan Elhajaoui hahah no
Yeah. It's a gem.
Ehhh midnight club 3 & LA are better , & underground as well , most wanted is fun but it is way too linear
My favorite is midnight club 3 dub edition
Burnout 3 and burnout revenge are the best racing games of all time actually. Scientific fact
Most Wanted helped me when I was suffering from these daily anxiety attacks. I eventually figured out what was causing them but at the time, it was the only game I could play that let me escape my mind completely and focus on the race. Every day I'd play the game for as long as the soundtrack goes front to back.
wish I had your ability to focus this hard, hope you doing better now
the power of games, happy it helped you
Man that's Awesome 😎
Hands Down this is the best Racing game by far. I remembered playing 48 hours without any Sleep this game was from another Planet especially when you hear Disturbed decadence
Favorite momments: When I realized that instrumental musics was playing the first police chase. I didnt want to believe it could be in a rocky and rappes environmental game.
That was awesome. Plus these instrumental police chase musics are adrenalin bombs. When the music is playing, 30 police cars behind you, and they are screaming on the radio with you. To this days, the cold shakes me. Ahhh good memories.
My brother and I always competed on how many bounty points we could collect. My record is: 27 million. My brother: 32 million. :D

@@adriauliamahran1481 prostreet was the shit back in the day
The pink slip system added an extra element of intrigue!
I'm surprised I managed to get a 450mhz Pentium 3 to run this game as well as I did years ago. The setup I was running then was two computers connected to a switch. One computer I would use just for storage and would have mapped network drives. So I would install the games on a mapped network drive. Nowadays you can do this on a TrueNAS box using an iscsi setup. For me games would run a lot smoother and faster that way than on just one computer. It was a workaround for sure but it worked rather well. I might have maxed my ram on my dell optiplex (SDRAM was quite expensive those days as it was obsolete then) and had a $60 or $70 ati graphics card I bought from walmart installed. I put a lot of time into this game and Morrowind both being enjoyable experiences. I had played the Underground games those were great. However, the Hot Pursuit games left a lot to be desired. Most Wanted for me was a good merger of the Hot Pursuit and Underground series. I used to think of it as Underground 3 at the time but its something else entirely.
I can’t speak for anyone else. But I’d love to go back in time and relive the years of 2004 to 2008 just for the video game experience
STALKER is 2008 as a 7 year old... oh boy nostalgia is strong

Anyone who actually had the glorious opportunity to play NSFW MW online (I had it on Xbox 360) will know the joy of finding out you can get out of the map on a certain circuit and being able to roam the entire map with your friends. It was like a precursor to the Horizon series.
I wonder how many people actually got truly experience the online gameplay. I will forever miss it and cherish the memories forever
NFS has never been able to rediscover its form from the golden era that was Underground 1 & 2, MW 05 and Carbon. A couple of titles since have been decent but nothing has touched those 4 imo.
And can we talk about that soundtrack for a second. Absolute bangers.

Still remember those days when I used to copy my profile file before every rival race so that if I don't get the pink slip marker would again use the old profile file and challenge the rival once again. This way I collected all rival cars
Simple, the bosses and how they made them feel a big deal. Was cool back then, street racing was big with movies etc.
You probably never played Payback and No Limits then
This was the most compulsively playable Need for Speed since Hot Pursuit.
What do you mean by that?
@@philithegamer8265 It means that I found the game extremely good to play. The physics, the risk/reward of being in police chases, the way the difficulty rose as I defeated blacklist members, the complete feeling of the open world, the car choices etc. I hadn't felt that excited playing a game since I played Need for Speed 3: Hot pursuit back in the day, doing 2 player on one keyboard with my friends. It just felt right, and it kept me coming back for more. I finished that game multiple times. At least 6 times on ps2 and 5 times on xbox360.
NFSIII: Hot Pursuit was alright, but the one I couldn't put down was NFS Hot Pursuit 2. If I couldn't be with friends playing it, we were calling each other trying to beat each others best times and the only way to prove it was to bring a memory card with you when you went over to their house. Even though there was only ever 2 cop cars and a helicopter on you at once, there's just another level of adrenaline when dodging spike strips, airborne spike strips, bombs, and missiles. Now THAT is an NFS that deserves to be remade
My computer sucked in 2005 and I had to wait for 50-60 sec everytime a new race starts up. At least 3 mins to load the game lobby, but still loved it! Best NFS ever!
Challenge series had new cars and I had to complete it.
sadly, mine was bugged. at a certain point while battling Blacklist rival #12 izzy, my game would crash making it unplayable :(.
This game just had a great formula. EA nailed the story mode, the police pursuit and milestone integration for progression was amazing.

My favorite NFS and I’ve been playing them since NFS3 on PS1. Best part about NFSMW was the pink slip marker you could get at the end of every boss race. If I didn’t get it I would restart the game and try again until I had them all. The unique vinyls and upgrades made it worth the time.
Yeah same bro especially that Asian dude's Lambo, that thing had crazy parts in it that you couldn't get normally and could be improved. End up being my fastest car by far!
NFS fans unanimously consider most wanted the best game, not underground 2
but older fans like underground 2 because of how progression works
