    Like i said after prostreet i only played a demo of shift. The demo i played did not show off the tuning allowed in game. You say forget forza well the tuning list you have mentioned are the same in all simulation racers, which as i have mentioned i play most. The point your have decided to completely over look is that no matter how good a race game is be it simulation or arcade they lack an element of the physical world. I say this due to the fact with 90% of games i try and use cars i have owned and things that work in the real world will not happen in game.
    Exactly, you only tried Shift with no tuning, yet you labeled it as having unusable handling. How would you even know? Now you say you wish maybe you'd bought it. All that yet you say I'M the one unfairly labeling this game, even after having played all the way through it and tried most of the main cars and all the upgrades. Point being I don't typically comment on the overall quality of a game until I've played all or at least most of the way through it, which doesn't seem to be the case for you at all.

    The overall point here that you have missed and i feel should be addressed is that instead of hating on this game due to what it does and does not have from the original title and so forth this game should be viewed as an inderpendant title.
    That's merely your opinion, and based on how you've unfairly labeled and waffeld on Shift, it doesn't bear a lot of weight really. Like I said, Most Wanted is in the titles of the original and this game, and this one does not follow that theme well enough to even justify calling it that. If they wanted it to be viewed as a completely diferent game they should have given it a completely different name. Your own comments on the online play indicate it's too much of a casher Burnout type game to be called Most Wanted.

    Finally you need to let the paragraph thing go seriously when you use the spell check on here it alters the paragraphs. You are the only person that to try and gain the upperhand in a debate resort to how the comments have been posted. This i say with complete honesty due to being an avid poster on a forza forum aswell as various other forums for more grown up matters. You are the only person that my typing style bothers
    I don't see how you can claim the spell checker is the cause of your using no paragraphs when there are in fact SO many misspelled words in your posts. In fact now that you actually HAVE used paragraphs, I see if anything, LESS misspelled words, so my comments on it obviously did some good. You however don't seem to get that the comments on it have nothing to do with trying to gain the upper hand in this so called debate as you call it. I mean please, as much as I hate debate, at least it has some structure to it. You would be lost in trying to participate in a debate I'm afraid. Lastly, if I'm truly the only one that has EVER taken issue with your unstructred wall of text typing style, that speaks volumes regarding the maturity level of those forums you frequent, so the "grown up matters" comment seems rather out of place.

    Ok i know the saying simple thing please simple minds. I know also i am about to leave myself wide open for being ribbed but dang it needs saying.

    I have yet to find a game with in game music i like. I like rock, country and a few rap tracks. This means that i play my own playlists via my xbox hard drive and have to turn sfx up slightly. However, Most wanted has changed this. There is an option within the settings that allows you to play any playlists saved on your xbox in game including being able to skip through tracks as you would in game music. This is particularly useful when like me you wind up having to play while my kids are up.

    Like i said simple things i know but dang i love this option

    I just HATE that I cant pick one car and use it until the end. It constantly has you switching.

    It is not one of those games you can play for hours and hours non stop in my opinion. It is great in short bursts and for going back to when you're playing games like borderlands.

    Also, why hasn't criteron been supporting their games like burnout paradise? The whole reason I bought Hot Pursuit ( and loved it ) was because I thought they would have heaps of content after release like BP ( much of which was free, and awesome! )

    Haha how about the new "cheat" package where they want us to pay $10 to unlock everything, or I could just play the game like its meant to be played. Who is that lazy? Why dont they throw in a couple cars for free at least since its christmas? They didnt even include a lotus or ferrrari in that car pack. Anyone know the reason why they haven't been including ferraris lately? Lose their contract?

    Man, I miss the visual customization and the cities with eye candy during night mode from the previous games...

    Not really.

    If I wanted a BURNOUT game i would of picked up burnout!!!. The only thing worth praising is the layout of everything. If you could customize your cars like all the other need for speed games this game would be worth it. Whats the deal with high end cars? The whole basis of need for speed is to have **** cars, built to be great. High end cars toward the end of the game, sure. But come on this game has nothing to do with Need for speed. Why Criterion! why! You have ruined the series already. This game should be called Need for Speed Burnout Edition... How unfortunate...

    1 star game.
    Good thing I did not buy this game.

    Bottom line - it's a fun driving/racing game but has nothing to do with NFS:MW other than the presence of cops.

    There's a heated debate about the new XCom vs. the original XCom, but in the end the most basic structure of the games are the same - turn-based squad-level tactics. This game uses the NFS:MW name but the basic structure is fundamentally different.

    Original NFS:MW game:

    -Backstory (with interesting characters, good writing and fun twists)

    -Car progression - start weak, get strong

    -Car customization - parts and paint BIGTIME

    -Pursuit Breakers - environmental debris that could be used to block police

    -Cool-down spots - hidden spots with blue markers where cooldown was faster and you were practically invisible to police.

    -Amazing music

    New NFS:MW game:

    -No story period.

    -No car progression - drive a Lambo or McLaren right out of the gate.

    -No car customization (unless you count the weak parts upgrades, which are the same for every car.

    -No Pursuit Breakers

    -No Cool-down spots (in the new one I was hiding down a dead-end turn-off in the middle of a tunnel running under a construction site - a cop found me)

    -Atrocious music

    Put 20 hours into the game so I feel I got my money's worth, just have nothing to do now that I am the most wanted.
    Still, loved the game, totally worth it. However I may not buy critereon's next game for a while, because not only do they all feel the same now, they are not supporting the games after release like the did burnout paradise ( which I LOVED and put 100 hours into )
