Game Review Need For Speed ​​Most Wanted (2012)

Need For Speed ​​- a franchise that was going through numerous transformations:this Hot Pursuit, to prioritize rather than race, and move away from the police, and not so good Shift, which flirted with realistic and Most Wanted.It happened that after not too successful Shift, the developers went back to the well-forgotten old Hot Pursuit and did an excellent for its time arcade racing.

Then there was another collapse with Shift 2 and then made as if the new IP in the conditions of the franchise - The Run.The Run pleased plot intonation - a race across the North American continent: this actually all.Fairly predictable plot, gameplay for 3 hours, very strange QTE scenes and zaskriptovannost - that's what comes to mind today in The Run.And in 2012, the legendary series takes another twist in its history and returns to the ancestors, namely once became beloved Most Wanted, which many consider the best NFS of ever released.

18th in a row NFS audit should please players open world racing cars, in which you can transfer virtually on the fly, simple system upgrades that you get for winningraces and similar to the previous Most Wanted plot tells us about the difficult fate of the street racer, on the chase with the police and the desire to break out of the top most desired drivers violators of public order.

In words, it all sounds very fascinating; Criterion actually not just a return to the philosophy of Burnout, but also brought his concept to the "perfection". Forget everything you know about Need For Speed.In this game Cocktail outstanding graphics, beautiful cars, open-world school of music is to add only rockets and guns, to forget about the series of NFS.

The graphics in the game - the thing that really amaze. Large open world traced in detail.In most cases you will have to go on the asphalt, and the wet, from the wheels will fly fine mist.The surface is drawn in detail: coating gleams from the water, and in close to the edge of the screen you can see the small stones and unevenness.Various curbs and curbs are an obstacle for low sports cars, they just throws and you willy-nilly will have to take this into account when entering the turn.You have to take into account the areas and country road (which are often cutting) - because they Machine loses some speed and slips several times stronger.
As for drifting - the developers have simplified and it is now that the car began to burn tires and went into the controlled drift enough to press on the brake, and a regular, rather than as a manualfirst and how, in general, correct. Moreover the car get into a skid and long corners while holding the gas pedal. It would seem that it is even more correct than drift on the brakes, but the struggle to turn not only rivals, but also with the machine annoying.

Artificial intelligence is strong enough confusion because competitors do not try to be faster than you frankly.At the same time, if you get lost in the route, the opponents literally stop and wait for you, and almost all the tactics based on the use nitro at the finish line.On the one hand the feeling disappears Challenge, as the game is, in fact, accompanies you on the other other machines, adding an element of momentary show and action, want to leave your car in the nearobstacle, be it a truck from oncoming traffic or Colonnade Bridge.And sometimes you can be faster opponent and easy to overtake him on the line:that's when you can fly to the side, and with such force that the car in real life would be flown into space.As soon as you hit a wall, column, oncoming traffic and anything else that deals critical damage - you see Burnout'ovsky killkam then transferred to a fresh car,having lost a number of positions and speed. The most fun that is the story of the race killkamami can infuriate.For a couple of minutes on the open world can meet your bumper with a bunch of oncoming traffic, traveling at two hundred different obstacles and columns. It is actually 6-7 times in a few minutes to see how your car is sent to the nearest dustbin.

Among other things, the world's Most Wanted lyutuet police, although her lack of intelligence on the coffee and donuts. Leave the line of sight is not difficult, if not breaking anything, though certainly not worth the anger cops.However, to help in the care of the chase to help plant this or gas station.In the world a lot of them, and they travel through your car repairs (ie, removes scratches, dents and other external damage), as well as instant repaint it.Moreover part of the circular tracks built around the point that, and almost every checkpoint you can not only cut, but also "fix" the machine.

Machines in the game quite a lot, although this number can not be compared with Forza Horizon.Change cars are very easy - just find a parking lot, where there is a car and press the button to change seats with him. Auto in the game there, and it's doubtful innovation.Again, go to the soul than anything does not work, because different events require different cars, so Criterion Forces to explore the world and search for a new car.Winning races, you get not only the Speed ​​Points, but also various upgrades for the car, which can be immediately put.If you consider that you do not spend money to buy cars and upgrades, all these SP only affect your place in the ranking of Most Wanted, and each time closer to your "great" goal. Among the amenities of the fleet - the car Marussia B2, which can find and chase her.

Physically, the car feels strange (about drift mentioned above) and the differences between different machines only external. Camera to choose a little bit, naturally there is no view from the cockpit.When the car accelerates to the speed limit is more like a rocket projectile than the race.It should touch the wall - spark zapolonyayut entire screen, from the wheels flying wet dust, mixed with the smoke from the tires and brake discs.At the time of the fight, the game becomes like a good old Burnout, the latest Ridge Racer, Split Second, but not at the Need For Speed, and even more so on the old Most Wanted.

The soundtrack - it is necessary to allocate separately - 45 powerful tracks between rock and dance music.Among the artists Green Day, Muse, Nero, The Prodigy and the Chemical Brothers with the immortal Firestarter and Galvanize respectively. The output is a good sbornichek for fans of fast driving. Without a Skrillex also not done - their musical ekzersizy soundtrack: an absolute trend.
