I would've given this game a shot initially if it weren't for the fact that it literally used the name of the original and seemed like EA tried to "remake" it. Given a different name, I wouldn't think twice about buying it back then - but I may give it a shot, eventually.

[@Robciomixxnfs]

Now, as we all know NFS MW 2012 was literally supposed to be NFS: Most Wanted 2, and it was designed to be just like the 2005 game, but then they completely redesigned the whole thing and made it a Burnout clone. It kinda sheds a new light on this song- it was probably designed to fit NFSMW 2005 aesthetics, not that NFSMW 2012 clean look. It may sound cool, if you listen to this and imagine flying Lamborghinis and Porsches, ceiling-riding cop cruisers, racers crashing each others' cars, collecting free vehicles just standing there in a cold, blue city... But it's way better if you think it was supposed to play, when the game was designed to make police pursuits adrenaline pumping and dangerous, and not just "funny". When the game was supposed to have an actual, serious storyline about racing and evading cops in that dirty, broken and corrupted city, seen with a golden filter.

[@saocxdc210]

Could not agree more, I find it bad to live a life where I dont know this concept, this is why I appreciate all the people that involved in bringing the truth to the public.

[@Robciomixxnfs]

[@nocturnal7613]

This will always remind me of feeling, when you're opening new horizons for yourself. Such a unique theme that gives feelings of thinking about future and living in it, while looking for new adventures and opening new horizons for yourself. 2011-2014 as a whole period was absolutely unique, especially in videogames, and especially in soundtracks like this one. Nothing else gives that much vibe of this whole period which will be 10 years old next year. Though it is charming still to listen this nowadays. But it always will take a special place in my heart reminding some of the coolest times that were ignored completely, just as 2015-2016.

Still a fantastic game, however of course its missing some of the magic from the first one.

[@Jacques_the_Rooster]

ekhm, what "story" ? 😂

[@Jacques_the_Rooster]

@Trion Relax dude, this is just a game. Quite good game, but simply is no match to ORIGINAL Most Wanted (2005), Road Challenge / High Stakes (1999), both "Underground" games... Hell, even "Hot Pursuit 2010" and "Rivals" seemed much more interesting and entertaining. I like Need for Speed very much, I've finished something like 13 games of this franchise, but honestly speaking Most Wanted 2012 is in the middle of the grid. Good visuals and nice music don't make a great game. I would rate it around 7 / 10, but I admit that I spent nice time playing it several years ago on my PS3 👍

[@Jacques_the_Rooster]

@Trion Physics were never meant to be a strong point of these games. It's not Grand Turismo, TOCA, DiRT, nor Forza either. Don't you forget that is arcade, simplified driving and you shouldn't demand realistic physics (but entertaining ones) 😉 The only games of this franchise with much more real physics were a) High Stakes / Road Challenge, where you could really damage your care big time (great classic game btw); b) Hot Pursuit 2 (2002) where driving model is less arcade than usually in NfS and - at last but not least - c) Shift (2009) which is the most realistic NfS game to date and, imho, very very underrated.

[@oscarfunez3806]

@@Jacques_the_Rooster late reply but. This game had the worst physics. And I mean annoying. No care can drift over 160 mph. This game has many of the burnout physics. Therefore not a true EA NFS game. Rivals had better physics and even payback is better than that of this game.

This game and Rivals both got the tone down beautifully. Most Wanted 2012 feels like an artistic expression of the thrill of the race and the escape, whereas Rivals felt nerve-wracking and almost scary; both games get this across with their soundtracks brilliantly. A port of this game on modern systems is an absolute must.

I still play this game in 2021 on the PS3. I think EA and Criterion Games scrapped the story because they didn't want it, they think it's going to be long or they wanted another Most Wanted that is completely different from the original Most Wanted

[@TheBreakingBenny]

The other possibility is that EA wanted a mainstream audience, so they had Criterion change it into essentially being _Burnout Fairhaven._ Surely Criterion had more ambitions, but couldn't do it with the deadline they were given 'cause EA is more concerned about the money. A specific audience means lower profits in the publisher's eyes; what players desire is where their empathy (if the higher-ups even have any) draws the line.

[@Blu_Gatorade]

@@TheBreakingBenny I know, they could of called it "Burnout Fairhaven" but what about "Burnout Most Wanted"? I like the name of Burnout Most Wanted, just remove all license vehicles, put events, (Just like in Burnout Paradise) leave the cops in the game since not a lot of Burnout games have cops chasing you and put that we could choose any color on the vehicles and use cop cars
