What is Need for Speed: Most Wanted

Electronic Arts' long-running Need for Speed series has entertained gamers with its velocity and excitement since its inception. The initial entries in the series were rather straightforward racing games with real-world super-cars to pilot, but later installments added police chases that quickly proved popular. A great example of this latter innovation could be found in 2005's Need for Speed Most Wanted, a title that many fans consider one of the series' high-water marks.

In 2012, the Electronic Arts studio Criterion Games reused that name and put together a stunning tribute to the original. This Need for Speed Most Wanted demo gives a sizable taste of the high-revving action to be found in that release. The game makes good use of modern rendering techniques, offering gamers photo-realistic graphics that really help to immerse them into the world.

The demo is especially generous with content, allow virtual racers to step into the drivers' seats of four different world-class performance cars. Players may even delve into the game's car modification system, choosing and installing aftermarket parts, which boost particular performance characteristics of cars in their stables. Two entirely distinct race courses are available for trying out these cars and modifications, and players can both race against other, AI-piloted cars and try to outrun the local police after they get wind of this law-breaking activity.

An impressive game that is typical of Criterion's justly lauded output, Need for Speed Most Wanted is put on excellent display in this demo. Gamers with any kind of interest in the series would do well to check out this sample of the full product, then, and it's a worthwhile piece of entertainment in its own right, too.

Pros:

  • Fast, gripping, racing action
  • A fine selection of cars on offer
  • Two well-designed race courses

Cons:

  • Slight frame-rate issues can bog down the action
  • AI opponents can be maddening at times
