    I’m not quite sure who to blame for this street racing fad that sparkedthe Need for Speed facelift. It’s narrowed down to either Vin Dieseland crew from the original “The Fast and The Furious” or Rockstar fortheir addicting pimped-out ride racer, “Midnight Club”. Not that itreally matters though, because the newfound gaming genre is a breath offresh air in comparison to the Grand Turismo-esque sims that have hitmainstream gaming in the past decade. In the...

  2. Need For Speed: Most Wanted Review / Preview for Xbox (XB)

    Reviewer: Cheat Code Central

    EA Canada held their Community Day event last week in Vancouver. 15 minutes away from where I live. I emailed them 5 days before the event looking for a contact at EA Canada (I had no prior knowledge of this event). They ignored me. I emailed them a few days later. They finally forwarded my email to the PR director of EA Canada. I asked him nicely if it was ever possible for me to come down to the offices for some hands on or eyes on time with the games as I recently... Read more

    Need For Speed first appeared on the radar as a supercar burnout showcase for the doomed 3DO console. Over the years, the owner of the franchise, the omnipresent Electronic Arts, has tried a number of different angles, but though NFS1 and 2 were popular, subsequent releases failed to set the world alight. The mega-publisher finally found the formula it had been looking for with the release of Need for Speed: Underground. Riding on the back of the Fast & Furious-inspired... Read more

    Need for Speed Most Wanted is definitely the best in the series yet. The only problem with it is you may get bored with the pattern of “races, outrun the cops, Blacklist rival, repeat”. The AI and the formula are sometimes a pattern that is dreadfully noticeable. Otherwise, outrunning the cops, and racing around in a rich cityscape is a unique and exciting experience. Either version of the game is great, and it is definitely worth the purchase if you are a racing... Read more

    Some good old fashioned sun flare, the compulsory bad egg of a cop and good clean racing lines make this a return to form for the Need franchise. From the opening shot of the cop keying your beloved wheels, you know this is going to be a cat and mouse contest of street wills and engine rev face–offs. There‘s three standard modes; career, challenge and quick race to suit all gaming needs at a given moment. Career will have you as the new dude on the block of Rockport,... Read more

    If you like cars and street racing get this (or PGR3) If you like tearing up small tracks mullering other cars get burnout If you like a nice driving free play simulator get test drive unlimited. In my opinion I would choose Burnout or Test Drive This game handles like a podgy pig. Read more
