    Need for Speed: Most Wanted is caught between two worlds. The game can't quite decide if it wants to be an arcade or a simulation racing game, and it takes a lot to get used to this in-between zone it occupies. That said, once the adjustment period is over, there is a lot of enjoyment to be had when it's not being frustrating.

    A technically sound and entertaining sandbox for arcade racers. The name should be Need for Burnout, though.

    An open world street racer set in an interesting city. There's a lot of things to do, but they get pretty repetitive after a while. The autolog for online competition is brilliant though.

    Simply put, it's Criterion's most accomplished racer.

    Each year we are given a new Need for Speed title and this has been one of the best in a long while.
