We think the latest Need for Speed is this year's Most Wanted racing game! But don't take our word for it; here's what the world's gaming press said after our recent presentations at Los Angeles' giant gaming event, E3:

“…awesome is pretty much what they're up to in Need for Speed: Most Wanted.” Yahoo! Games

“With forward-thinking open-world multiplayer and stunning graphics (on PC), this was simply the most fun we had playing a game on the show floor.” Eurogamer

"The world is open, the crashes are brutal and the racing is fast." Dallas Morning News

"No matter what your individual car is rocking under the hood, however, the controls are just as great as always, letting you slide around corners and boost forward with ease." Joystiq

"That's what Most Wanted has to offer that most racers don't: the pleasure of being the best even if you're not the greatest at taking turns at top speeds or being first at the finish line." The Verge

I wonder how much money it took EA to buy them off.

Wasn't a new Forza shown at E3 this year? I don't follow it (console-only) but I thought it had a way bigger fanbase.

Whoever wrote that should find another job. Being the "best" by sucking at racing is what makes a racing game good? What the h%$# is that for conclusion!

It's the other way around. NFS is multi-platform, while Forza is a Xbox exclusive title.
Forza Horizon could win by a landslide against Most Wanted.

The news bot could post a whole big lot of info about how Most Wanted is so successful without even releasing it yet but not able to post a proper post about the Daytona relaunch..

I think it's because the feeds are different (AFAIK they don't post World news on the main site anymore).

Well at the end of the day is a game by Criterion.....


Cant wait for it to come out now!!!
