When i was a kid playing on ps2, i accidentaly found that by myself, i was like " Hmmm, police cant catch me in the bus station, thats weird " from that day, my pursuits were always around that area
What I did back then to lose the cops was to do several loops at the highway destroying cops and once I had the milestones and bounty I needed I just go to the stadium and destroy all cops with the pursuit breaker, then also there is a hiding spot so I could finish the pursuit faster
"Doesn't get enough love". i don't know how it is over there, wherever you're at. But in my country, Most wanted is everyone's favorite car racing game.
The police chases. Everything from the engine roars, the police radio chatter, and the intensity of it made it a spectacle. I’m convinced they hired actual police officers to either write the dialogue or voice it, it’s so genuine sounding.
When the Corvettes start rolling out, you knew it was time to hide or it was a matter of time before your car gets impounded. haha My favorite spots were in and around the stadium. I don't remember exactly but my best chase and escape was something like 33 minutes. It was tense af.
granted that I skipped carbon when it came out and didn't play it until around the release of the "other" most wanted but when i did play it it never reached my expectations, it felt far too short and didn't have the charm for me that the others up to hot pursuit 2010 gave. good game but not what i was hoping for. now Prostreet on the other hand was imo extremely underrated
Debatable. I really disliked Carbon, in particular its enhanced tuning section. It was rather overwhelming and closer to a sim, rather than to an arcade racing game.
It was ALWAYS Underground vs Most Wanted. Every racing game nerd had this argument with their friends. And there was always that one kid, "Yeah but.. Carbon." Also, Midnight Club. Early 2000's were poppin' for racing
NFS World: Am I joke to you? Also believe or not the fanbase is so toxic and every for the smallest wrong detail they will complain and it will end up like NFS Heat. And do you make a difference between a remaster or remake? I guess not.
Cool vid, I worked on this game. We had just finished underground 1 & 2 before working on it. The layout of the world needed a lot of work when I came on to it. It was a mess but we got it sorted. The env was huge and probably double the size of underground2. We used the xbox360 as the dev platform, and we loved the ability to do a time of day change and wide open areas like the shipyard which I worked on. Many of us had worked on hot pursuit 2 , so it was great to bring back cops. Looking back the first four games were great. Hot pursuit 2, ug 1 & 2 plus most wanted. Then it sort fell apart after that, EA were churning out the games every year, it was stressful to make a game in a year. We lost the motivation and desire, when you’re churning out racing games every year. Anyways it is great to see the love, after all those late nights working on the game back in the day.
Your comment should be pinned. Thanks for helping to create one of my most favourite childhood games. Now I understand why the games started to go downhill after Most Wanted too.
Thanks for your hard work I still enjoy playing this game till this day, such an amazing game, hope you doing well and this comment can show my appreciation because I genuinely enjoy Need for Speed : Most Wanted

Never cared enough to play NFS games that came out after MW 2005. But played Heat recently and I gotta say that the game is solid, with much harder cop chase and car customizations although the story is way too short than I like and also shitty handling. And bad soundtrack.
People come on best driving experience best graphical update (for its time) ,killer story that had so much follow up potential and trust be told every NFS after that game tanked .
Yea, the developers actually put time and energy into a game that worked even with a few glitches, but not game breaking. Nowadays they launch a game and it's broken (like hardcore game breaking glitches) on release for months. Until the developers realize they need to fix it.
@@blackonblack...9244 Not sure the blame lies on the developers, but likely the publishers who want to get it out as early as possible to start selling copies.
This game is the reason I love cars. The M3 GTR and the Ford GT were my absolute favorite cars. I remember doing a three hour chase with the Ford GT (I found a glitch that I could just stay still and the cops would never get to me, so I left the PS2 on while my mom made me go to the grocery store with her) and my Ford GT ended up with a $50+million dollar bounty lmao
Yeah, gas... I mean, the bus station, if that was a glitch, it was a glitch that everyone used. Sadly, police can sometimes get there by sheer luck on their part, so when you actually go to the store, you might come back to a busted screen.
@@philithegamer8265 Feels like a lifetime ago.... I was 11ish? Anyone who is around 26-28 probably might be able to relate to my progression of some of the most iconic games of our time.... age of empires1/2 AOM, og rollercoaster tycoon, NFS underground 2 and mw, neopets,pokemon,RuneScape,tekken 4/soul calibur, mw2,black ops 1-2, league of legends.
I played NFSMW in 2008 when I was six. It's the first racing game I played. I instantly fall in love with this masterpiece. Underground ofcourse is amazing, but nothing can replace NFSMW.
I actually loved it when they tried the front on tactic I would wait last second to hit speed break and then just dart to the right or left and watch them plow into there fellow officers and disable half the crew thats chasing me which just made my job of running a lot easier
@@mastersus9826 just hit em in the back with the right position, pretty much every police car will flip. It's so satisfying to watch everytime that happens.
The game is a legend. I think I haven’t replayed any of the games like this one. 20+ replays. And to this day I still replay it at least once a year. Story mode was awesome. Soundtrack was amazing. LAN with my friends after school. Dayum, I am on a nostalgia trip and will probably go replay it now since I still have it on my old PC.
I do it too I replay it almost every year, I must have beaten it on the PS2 Twice and around 10 times on PC Last year I got my hands on the Xbox 360 version, and I'm beating it for the second time since
I just loved how they handeled the story. You get a few races as a test trial in your car that's just the best in the game. The amount of grip, downforce and oversteer it had was simply perfect and made taking corners significantly easier than any other car in the game. The sound of the engine of the BMW was also very iconic (thus far they tried to recreate the car, but if it isn't the same engine sound, than it's simply not the same car). AND it was the ONLY BMW in the game, there was no other BMW you could get or buy, which made it even more iconic.
NFS Hot Pursuit 2 on PS2 is by far superior to NFS Hot Pursuit 09 lol that was one of the worst need for speeds any need for speed that came out after Most Wanted lost it's original meaning of what a NFS game should be my view comes from playing all of the OG titles on the old PS1 back in the mid and late 90s
I must be the only ass hole who thinks the driving physics of the 2005 version are absolute garbage compared to the 2012 version. course I just drive and don't worry about "winning" the game, aside from dodging cops, so I guess I have a biased opinion. I would say the mw2005 physics are somewhere between nfs4 and mw2012. just my opinion, I understand if everyone disagrees.
@@Siegward0fCatarina It was a masterpiece for it's time. A remaster would improve the original game with better graphics, textures, performance etc so it runs better on mordern devices.
I really wish they would remaster Most Wanted and Carbon and package them together. I would buy it instantly. I hope someone who can make that happen is listening lol
Only if the remaster includes split screen. Hot pursuit remaster was a tremendous let down cause they took away what makes a racing game great. SPLIT SCREEN.
Nearly all arcade racing studios underrate the importance of a good soundtrack. Same with dirt series: my favorite is still Dirt 2, because the soundtrack.
This game was one huge contributor to my music library. I started listening to Disturbed and Bullet for My Valentine, and loved it because of it (back when I was like 8 or so). I’m still a metalhead to this day and while I had already gotten introduced to the genre through Linkin Park and I was starting to get into Slipknot, this game showed me cool new bands. I remember just getting hyped every time Hand of Blood or Decadence started playing. Or Celldweller’ Shapeshifter or One Good Reason (song which unfortunately is just an instrumental due to the lyric theme). Favorite NFS of the series and one of my all time favorite games!
This was the sickest of all racing games. I remember being miles ahead in the first race and then when the BMW started sputtering actually screaming at the screen.
@@a1goldenrunner That was more of just another NFS game in the series. They just took the most wanted list idea and made a new game out of it, still a good nfs tho
Most Wanted helped me when I was suffering from these daily anxiety attacks. I eventually figured out what was causing them but at the time, it was the only game I could play that let me escape my mind completely and focus on the race. Every day I'd play the game for as long as the soundtrack goes front to back.
I enjoy carbon, replay it just recently with most wanted. One thing that I don't like was the police. I feel like the police in carbon, even a lvl 1 police car, most of the time feels unnaturally fast compared to most wanted.
There are fairly some underloved NFS if we talk about the modern community. Some stuff like Porsche unleashed, Prostreet, and The Run are some of the quite under the radar in the racing pop culture
It should be noted the greatest thing about this game was playing online, you would see everyone playing on the track “omega”, because you glitch out of the map and play essentially an open world online which was mind blowing at the time. I remember playing tag in online when we hit open world, so much fun :3 Pure nostalgia
@@philithegamer8265 Insane soundtrack, perfect sense of speed, enjoyable physics, police chase music that gives you shivers, the fear of losing all the bounty during the chase, perfect characters that you love to hate (Cross, Razor), amazing real people cutscenes, realistic police radio chatting, Iconic M3 GTR, aggressive car engine sounds, the chance of winning blacklist member car, progressive heat levels, very good artwork (graphitti style). It's not ovehyped it's truly a good game, don't get me started with san andreas that's a masterpiece...
@@philithegamer8265 dude u high? First you shit on NFS MW then GTA SA two hella good games. Either your a troll or have terrible taste. What do you play? CoD mobile?
0:34 "One that doesn't get enough love even still to this day" Are you serious? MW is the most beloved NFS game of all time. Even more than underground 2, but slightly.
Underground 2 was awesome, but most wanted was out of this world. Everything was awesome, story, cars, soundtrack just to name a few. I don't know how many times my big brother played the story mode of this game, surely more than 5 times. My favorite car was Mitsubishi Lancer Evo.
Best one out, and my favorite was DB9 😁👍 My parents even got a wheel and peddle for my PS2 for that game I wanna get it on my Xbox s but I can't find it on there store
Unlike the previous arcade-style Hot Pursuit games, Most Wanted really made you feel like a badass outlaw street racer. Combine that with the open world and customization options, and you have the perfect blend of Hot Pursuit and Underground. An absolute masterpiece that will stand the test of time.
@@kajmak64bit76Hey I know this may be too late for a reply but I recently just installed STALKER:CoP on my laptop and I really don't know how to play this game. Can you please give me tips or advices as someone new to the series?
@@philithegamer8265 It means that I found the game extremely good to play. The physics, the risk/reward of being in police chases, the way the difficulty rose as I defeated blacklist members, the complete feeling of the open world, the car choices etc. I hadn't felt that excited playing a game since I played Need for Speed 3: Hot pursuit back in the day, doing 2 player on one keyboard with my friends. It just felt right, and it kept me coming back for more. I finished that game multiple times. At least 6 times on ps2 and 5 times on xbox360.
NFSIII: Hot Pursuit was alright, but the one I couldn't put down was NFS Hot Pursuit 2. If I couldn't be with friends playing it, we were calling each other trying to beat each others best times and the only way to prove it was to bring a memory card with you when you went over to their house. Even though there was only ever 2 cop cars and a helicopter on you at once, there's just another level of adrenaline when dodging spike strips, airborne spike strips, bombs, and missiles. Now THAT is an NFS that deserves to be remade
I used to play this on my Pentium 4 PC 😢 in 2006, nostalgia at its peak. I have now moved to the Forza series but still miss the OG NFS days. Underground 2 and Most Wanted were one of my favs in the nfs Franchising.
**Incoming phone call** "Hey Hotshot! hey,thanks for helping us out! We have been able to pick up every blacklist racers thank to you! Now I take that into the consideration if you give yourself up. So what's gonna be?"
@WaurufEx true, doesn't take long to take over territories and beat all the races. Mean while the Black List in Most Wanted took forever to beat. Also the city in Carbon just felt smaller.
Still my absolute favourite in the NFS series. But I feel the Shift editions were truly under appreciated. Those felt like EA genuinely trying to create a more simulation type variant, but gave up due as they didn't really sell that well.
@@BlaccCeaza Cars Real BIG Rims Real BIG! midnight club was so awesome, its tied with me on MW. That was the golden era of racing games, sure some of the cars looked rice but man that was in back then! AND lastly just remember you still cannot change exhaust on any of the Forza games, its 2021 and your V8 swapped Datsun 510 still has the pea shooter 1.5 inch pipe. Idk how you do swaps and not allow just a 3 inch pipe option for all cars and trucks.
I played need for speed back when hot pursuit was a thing. To me, this was the best need for speed. It was always day, so it was a different take than underground had. Plus when you have corvette cops after you plus a chopper and heavy SUVs, your adrenaline was pumping nicely.
Gameranx: "Oh, NFSMW was so great, huge success, iconic racing game!" Also Gameranx: "Let's not include NFSMW in our list of best 2005 videogames; that Star Wars game with crappy Lego characters was much better tho'."
@@GunGun-cf3ss I understand that some people like making stuff from Star Wars with Lego in real life, but making a videogame with goofier looking characters than those of the real franchise it would be a bit like making RDR 2 but replacing John Marston and Arthur Morgan with those customisable Wii avatars. Lego Star Wars games may be fun, specially for the fans, but it doesn't come close to the all-time greats (even more in a year like 2005). P.S.: Even Burnout Revenge didn't appear at that list, in a time where PS2 racing games ruled the gaming world. One must be pretty biased to put Lego Star Wars in front of that one as well
@@RockyVegaTV Yes, I did mean all 3 of them, hence the comma right after Underground. Ultimately, the campiness of the series needs to make a comeback.
This game just had a great formula. EA nailed the story mode, the police pursuit and milestone integration for progression was amazing. I remember just grinding out level 4 and 5 heat levels just because the pursuits were fun, and having enough bounty for the next blacklist racer after the one I was on.
I loved this game so much that I finished it twice, played it online, unlocked all cars to their best possible upgrades but I remember one particular moment that almost gave me a heart attack. This was the best nfs game hands down.
Only twice 🤯🤯🤯 I was four playing this game an throwin the remote getting mad. I’ve done beat this game over 100+ times an now I’m 21 they need to re make this game ❗️❗️❗️❗️🤌
I remember my friend and I had actually broken the game because we found a route where we could endlessly to a pursuit and end it exactly when we wanted every time and get away every time.
This game and midnight club dub edition remix best racing games ever for their time. And needless to say I had a crush on Josie maran who played mia Townsend the chick the told you about each rival on the blacklist
As a person who's played all NFS games that released on PC I can say that 2005 Most Wanted has and will always be my favorite and is hands down best NFS game released.
thanks to this game, back in 2005, I learnt how to put the gearbox into Manual settings, it changed my racing games experience forever. I never used automatic ever since.. and before buying a Nfs I do a lot of research, never bought one still.. Hope they get a great one like this was back then.
This n I don't even remember the nfs it was I'm so old but it was for pc 95windows n had the T- cruiser. Whenever the actual car dropped they had in the game as a gimmick.
What do you mean "It doesn't get any love". The fact that the greedy scum at EA decided to do a new rendition of the game with the exact same title, tells you they know how popular it is with the fans. EAids would never miss a cash grab. They've featured the M3 GTR in 9 subsequent NFS titles. So many enthusiasts have modified their cars to match the M3 GTR livery. It's still the best selling NFS game to date. The fact that people are talking about it 16 years later tells you everything you need to know about how much this game is loved.
This game is still one of my absolute favorites of the franchise, I mained a Viper SRT10 (Which I got from the rival racer.) And was unstoppable. Not even Cross himself couldn't catch up, unless the rubberbanding kicked in... Great game. Love it!
Dude once I got my Viper, no one could beat me. I put all the junk man and other mods in it. I raced my Viper against the Rivals Viper and the cutscene was awesome seeing both of them lined up to race.
This game to this day is my favorite game of all time, and its insulting that the 2012 game is the one listed in the description. Also the soundtrack from this game was amazing This game needs a faithful remaster so bad
The year was 2008, my friend came over with a mem card loaded with their best cars. I won at the final corner after they crashed into an oncoming sixteen-wheeler... I mean, what ever happened to traffic that would win or lose you races and the choice of how much traffic you wanted in the game?
Police chases and the soundtrack was very old school police chase movies.. and cops were fun. First stage, Squad cars chase you, then interceptors, then comes the Rhynos, SUVs that do ram you. Cops AI had the boxing technique like real cops, The SUV AI did what they do in real life and your car would get damaged. Then you would find road blocks and stripes to puncture your tires. This system meant ONE HIT, YOU ARE OUT. Also the Helicopter chases, but no silly electrical guns and things we saw in the next Most wanted by Criterion, which felt gamy and fake. I think, people want some realism, not just arcade style fun all the time.
I loved this game so much. there was a glitch were you just stand on the roof over the bus station while you we're being chase and you just gain bounty just by staying there. the cops just keep coming and exploding under you.the hard part was escaping after all that attention with Cross and helicopter after you in every corner
I was thinking about this game all day, played it like 20 minutes ago and now i see a video releated to this game from gameranx. This is amazing. For me.
Every OG Most Wanted fan should remember being on max heat level and going to the bus station to lose the cops. Lol
When i was a kid playing on ps2, i accidentaly found that by myself, i was like " Hmmm, police cant catch me in the bus station, thats weird " from that day, my pursuits were always around that area
That was the shit, go on top of the bus station sit there let the cops go crazy, fill up the heat wave while the bounty increases. Good times!
i always knew about a cooldown spot that was op
@@voodoodiecast but sometimes some cops randomly will come close to you so you gotta watch out

that glitch where you stay on top of the bus station yeah done that it was part of the experience for me lol
When we talk about Need for Speed everyone remember Most Wanted.
You mean EVERYONE!!!😉

Now u have purchase a dlc to activate the cop traps
that's why we don't have games like this these days. ALL about the quick fast buck on hype train with tonne's of over priced dlc.

I remember those days when getting busted by cops, Alt + F4 straight and closing the game right away XD
Yeah same here
Yes! My cousin use the same trick.
ahaha i smiled :)
Same on the ps2 and xbox.i would turn it off as soon i would get busted.
Lol, i do that most of the time.. or take them down one by one on that Circle road track and cool down on the golf course..
Don't forget the "perfect launch" system. I restarted the races again and again just to be able to get that perfect launch consistently
I never could figure out how to do that!
I've never gave a single damn about perfect launch... It makes so little difference in 5 minute circuit race
Only in drag races, but that's it...
This NFS most wanted isn't just a game, it's an emotion ❤️
Agreed
If it got a remastered version with Better graphics and better physics, it will BOOM.

Timing your boost to every chorus of Disturbed's "Decadence" is basically zen in this game.

about the cop chases, you forgot the two Rhino SUV's trying front-impact with player
Indeed! First time meeting those is a shock.
yea the best terrifying moment
Reminds me for the suv roadblock so hard to make that thing fly lmao
I actually loved it when they tried the front on tactic I would wait last second to hit speed break and then just dart to the right or left and watch them plow into there fellow officers and disable half the crew thats chasing me which just made my job of running a lot easier
@@mastersus9826 just hit em in the back with the right position, pretty much every police car will flip. It's so satisfying to watch everytime that happens.
The game is a legend. I think I haven’t replayed any of the games like this one. 20+ replays. And to this day I still replay it at least once a year. Story mode was awesome. Soundtrack was amazing. LAN with my friends after school. Dayum, I am on a nostalgia trip and will probably go replay it now since I still have it on my old PC.

I just loved how they handeled the story. You get a few races as a test trial in your car that's just the best in the game. The amount of grip, downforce and oversteer it had was simply perfect and made taking corners significantly easier than any other car in the game. The sound of the engine of the BMW was also very iconic (thus far they tried to recreate the car, but if it isn't the same engine sound, than it's simply not the same car). AND it was the ONLY BMW in the game, there was no other BMW you could get or buy, which made it even more iconic.
My top 3 NFS games:
1. Nfs most wanted
2. Nfs underground 2
3. Nfs hot pursuit (2009/10)
🙏🙏
NFS Hot Pursuit 2 on PS2 is by far superior to NFS Hot Pursuit 09 lol that was one of the worst need for speeds any need for speed that came out after Most Wanted lost it's original meaning of what a NFS game should be my view comes from playing all of the OG titles on the old PS1 back in the mid and late 90s
1.most wanted
2.need for speed high stakes

Ehhh midnight club 3 & LA are better , & underground as well , most wanted is fun but it is way too linear
My favorite is midnight club 3 dub edition
Burnout 3 and burnout revenge are the best racing games of all time actually. Scientific fact
Nothing has surpassed Need For Speed Most Wanted from 2005 in the entire series.

I must be the only ass hole who thinks the driving physics of the 2005 version are absolute garbage compared to the 2012 version. course I just drive and don't worry about "winning" the game, aside from dodging cops, so I guess I have a biased opinion. I would say the mw2005 physics are somewhere between nfs4 and mw2012. just my opinion, I understand if everyone disagrees.

The soundtrack of this game was so sick!
Yepp
Bullet For My Valentine, Avenged Sevenfold... this game introduced me to these bands
The Prodigy song still gets me hyped!!
Nearly all arcade racing studios underrate the importance of a good soundtrack.
Same with dirt series: my favorite is still Dirt 2, because the soundtrack.
@@alphastratus6623 yess, dirt series have awesome soundtracks
This game was one huge contributor to my music library. I started listening to Disturbed and Bullet for My Valentine, and loved it because of it (back when I was like 8 or so). I’m still a metalhead to this day and while I had already gotten introduced to the genre through Linkin Park and I was starting to get into Slipknot, this game showed me cool new bands. I remember just getting hyped every time Hand of Blood or Decadence started playing. Or Celldweller’ Shapeshifter or One Good Reason (song which unfortunately is just an instrumental due to the lyric theme). Favorite NFS of the series and one of my all time favorite games!
Shit I forgot about that Avenged Sevenfold song Blinded in Chains. What a sick tune!

Most Wanted helped me when I was suffering from these daily anxiety attacks.

Every day I'd play the game for as long as the soundtrack goes front to back.
wish I had your ability to focus this hard, hope you doing better now

I feel like nfs carbon was much more "under loved" than most wanted. carbon's drift missions was the most fun i had in any ps2 game
agreed. i would definitely say carbon is one of the most underrated nfs games i rarely hear anyone talk about it
I enjoy carbon, replay it just recently with most wanted. One thing that I don't like was the police. I feel like the police in carbon, even a lvl 1 police car, most of the time feels unnaturally fast compared to most wanted.
@@Paxindica96 yeah, i'd say police chases were definitely not carbon's strong suit
There are fairly some underloved NFS if we talk about the modern community. Some stuff like Porsche unleashed, Prostreet, and The Run are some of the quite under the radar in the racing pop culture
@@adriauliamahran1481 prostreet was the shit back in the day
It should be noted the greatest thing about this game was playing online, you would see everyone playing on the track “omega”, because you glitch out of the map and play essentially an open world online which was mind blowing at the time. I remember playing tag in online when we hit open world, so much fun :3 Pure nostalgia

NFS fans unanimously consider most wanted the best game, not underground 2
but older fans like underground 2 because of how progression works
Whatever nfs you like, its good
Unlike the previous arcade-style Hot Pursuit games, Most Wanted really made you feel like a badass outlaw street racer. Combine that with the open world and customization options, and you have the perfect blend of Hot Pursuit and Underground. An absolute masterpiece that will stand the test of time.

THE NOSTALGIA I FELT SEEING THAT THUMBNAIL HIT HARDER THAN I THOUGHT
word
This was the most compulsively playable Need for Speed since Hot Pursuit.
What do you mean by that?
@@philithegamer8265 It means that I found the game extremely good to play. The physics, the risk/reward of being in police chases, the way the difficulty rose as I defeated blacklist members, the complete feeling of the open world, the car choices etc. I hadn't felt that excited playing a game since I played Need for Speed 3: Hot pursuit back in the day, doing 2 player on one keyboard with my friends. It just felt right, and it kept me coming back for more. I finished that game multiple times. At least 6 times on ps2 and 5 times on xbox360.
NFSIII: Hot Pursuit was alright, but the one I couldn't put down was NFS Hot Pursuit 2. If I couldn't be with friends playing it, we were calling each other trying to beat each others best times and the only way to prove it was to bring a memory card with you when you went over to their house. Even though there was only ever 2 cop cars and a helicopter on you at once, there's just another level of adrenaline when dodging spike strips, airborne spike strips, bombs, and missiles. Now THAT is an NFS that deserves to be remade
I used to play this on my Pentium 4 PC 😢 in 2006, nostalgia at its peak. I have now moved to the Forza series but still miss the OG NFS days. Underground 2 and Most Wanted were one of my favs in the nfs Franchising.

@WaurufEx true, doesn't take long to take over territories and beat all the races. Mean while the Black List in Most Wanted took forever to beat. Also the city in Carbon just felt smaller.
Still my absolute favourite in the NFS series. But I feel the Shift editions were truly under appreciated. Those felt like EA genuinely trying to create a more simulation type variant, but gave up due as they didn't really sell that well.
This was and is the most complete racing game....and the one with the best music.
I think you confused this with midnight club
@@BlaccCeaza Cars Real BIG
Rims Real BIG! midnight club was so awesome, its tied with me on MW. That was the golden era of racing games, sure some of the cars looked rice but man that was in back then!
AND lastly just remember you still cannot change exhaust on any of the Forza games, its 2021 and your V8 swapped Datsun 510 still has the pea shooter 1.5 inch pipe. Idk how you do swaps and not allow just a 3 inch pipe option for all cars and trucks.
Simple, the bosses and how they made them feel a big deal. Was cool back then, street racing was big with movies etc.
You probably never played Payback and No Limits then
I replayed this game a lot, for me it's the best need for speed game
I played need for speed back when hot pursuit was a thing. To me, this was the best need for speed. It was always day, so it was a different take than underground had. Plus when you have corvette cops after you plus a chopper and heavy SUVs, your adrenaline was pumping nicely.
Gameranx: "Oh, NFSMW was so great, huge success, iconic racing game!"

Wowowow I agree excluding nfsmw is a crime but no bashing lego star wars amigo 😡
@@GunGun-cf3ss I understand that some people like making stuff from Star Wars with Lego in real life, but making a videogame with goofier looking characters than those of the real franchise it would be a bit like making RDR 2 but replacing John Marston and Arthur Morgan with those customisable Wii avatars. Lego Star Wars games may be fun, specially for the fans, but it doesn't come close to the all-time greats (even more in a year like 2005).

As a person who's played all NFS games that released on PC I can say that 2005 Most Wanted has and will always be my favorite and is hands down best NFS game released.
thanks to this game, back in 2005, I learnt how to put the gearbox into Manual settings, it changed my racing games experience forever. I never used automatic ever since.. and before buying a Nfs I do a lot of research, never bought one still.. Hope they get a great one like this was back then.
Inspired me to learn manual in real life too
My favourite need for speed. Was disappointed by the “reboot”
No other NFS game has made an impact to me quite like this one, I still use the M3 in every NFS game I can find it in, to this day.
This n I don't even remember the nfs it was I'm so old but it was for pc 95windows n had the T- cruiser. Whenever the actual car dropped they had in the game as a gimmick.
What do you mean "It doesn't get any love". The fact that the greedy scum at EA decided to do a new rendition of the game with the exact same title, tells you they know how popular it is with the fans. EAids would never miss a cash grab.
They've featured the M3 GTR in 9 subsequent NFS titles. So many enthusiasts have modified their cars to match the M3 GTR livery.
It's still the best selling NFS game to date. The fact that people are talking about it 16 years later tells you everything you need to know about how much this game is loved.
The Cars, The Career, The OST, The Gameplay, The Cops, The Difficulty. Everything is perfect in this game!
2005. Most Wanted hands down.
To this day, I still download and play it casually.
This game is still one of my absolute favorites of the franchise, I mained a Viper SRT10 (Which I got from the rival racer.) And was unstoppable. Not even Cross himself couldn't catch up, unless the rubberbanding kicked in... Great game. Love it!
Dude once I got my Viper, no one could beat me. I put all the junk man and other mods in it. I raced my Viper against the Rivals Viper and the cutscene was awesome seeing both of them lined up to race.

The year was 2008, my friend came over with a mem card loaded with their best cars. I won at the final corner after they crashed into an oncoming sixteen-wheeler... I mean, what ever happened to traffic that would win or lose you races and the choice of how much traffic you wanted in the game?
I remember having police chases that would last hours at a end.
THIS! This is one of the best things about a proper open world car game, it had you on edge whenever the police showed up on screen.
@@RtistiqSkubie The heavy SUVs that would ram you head on is normally what cut my chases short.
Police chases and the soundtrack was very old school police chase movies..
and cops were fun.
First stage, Squad cars chase you, then interceptors, then comes the Rhynos, SUVs that do ram you.
Cops AI had the boxing technique like real cops, The SUV AI did what they do in real life and your car would get damaged.
Then you would find road blocks and stripes to puncture your tires.
This system meant ONE HIT, YOU ARE OUT.
Also the Helicopter chases, but no silly electrical guns and things we saw in the next Most wanted by Criterion, which felt gamy and fake.
I think, people want some realism, not just arcade style fun all the time.
This is a video that I already know I'm gonna love.
I loved this game so much.
there was a glitch were you just stand on the roof over the bus station while you we're being chase and you just gain bounty just by staying there. the cops just keep coming and exploding under you.the hard part was escaping after all that attention with Cross and helicopter after you in every corner
I was thinking about this game all day, played it like 20 minutes ago and now i see a video releated to this game from gameranx. This is amazing. For me.
