      THIS GAME WAS MY CHILDHOOD!!!!! MY FAVORITE!

      I played it since 2014 and it was amazing. Also, I have this game on Origin and multiplayer is stupidly fun.

      Please don't call this Sht NFS MW

      The story - well there is no story. MW was known for its best story in a racing game.

      Controls- 7 year older game had far better controls Gameplay- if I just wanted to drive around, I would have played a better simulated car game.

      2 stars are given just because of the graphics overhaul.

      Best Video Game Ever

      This is by far the Best Video I have ever played in my life. everything about it is amazing especially the graphics and the range on cars included. I'd be very happy if they bring this version onto the PS4. I loved the Multiplayer in the game. I don't care if this game got a lot of hate I love it and I wish EA would make the future Need For Speeds like this or Remaster this masterpiece.

      This Is Not MW

      Most Wanted (2005) features memorable, if somewhat corny, characters and a solid storyline-not just an open-world racing experience. It offers some of the best racing and police chases in the genre. This newer game, however, lacks all of that.

      I played about 35 minutes of the new game and was instantly bored. At first, I thought maybe racing games just aren't my thing. But then I gave Most Wanted (2005) another go after many years, and it held up perfectly. The handling is smooth, races can be genuinely challenging, and the main characters are memorable and goofy in a fun way. Most importantly, the police AI is engaging and smart, especially in the higher heats.

      That's the experience Need for Speed should have continued to deliver. Unfortunately, both Rivals and this newer game miss the charm and excitement of the classic titles.
