I haven’t played the game, so what do you do in the game? Race around randomly Burnout Paradise style?
well you can find the majority of the cars(apart from boss cars, 8 of them I think) parked around the city, and you can carjack any of them once you discover their location, which isn’t hard at all. First car I found was an Aston Martin. Each car has a set of races, with XP attached. Complete enough races, get enough XP, a boss race becomes available. All the races are burnout paradise style, pull up and spin your wheels at junctions.
But the thing is, like I already said, the cars performances are balanced out. I could almost beat a Mclaren using a stock mustang. The Focus RS is too fast, etc. And the early races give you too much XP. I only did a few races and I got 4 boss challenges unlocked at once. The handling is pure crap, and while pretty, the graphics are so glitzy sometimes it’s hard to see what’s going on in chases what with all the lens flares. The world is much smaller than paradise too. Unlike the original most wanted there are no cinematic jumps or roadblock smashes. Infact roadblocks are just luck half the time, even if you hit them in a strategic point(back of the car) it makes no difference, where it used to in the other game. There are no specificall marked ‘cooldown’ spots to avoid police after chases, it’s just cruise around staring intently at the map. It can be a bit frantic.
In the original most wanted, the linear structure led you into the larger chases as the game progressed. There really was a serious performance difference between the top and bottom cars, and it was satisfying to upgrade them. That’s another thing; there are no visual upgrades at all, and only 1 upgrade for each of the categories, of which I think there are only 6. So, 6 upgrades per car. That’s ridiculous. In this game, you can go strait to the highest level chase in the game, from the very first time you play. The chases are too easy and fast to escalate, the game itself is far, FAR too short…it’s just…
eugh. It had so much potential, and I liked the original so much. Sucks, but hey.
You just made me want to install the original again.
Do it. I’m still playing through the new one, but I always have a modded version of the original installed 
I feel like I should do a retrospective review of the Xbox 360 version. That was a damn fun game.
Can it scale up to 1080p or is it locked to shitty resolutions?
Also, post which mods you’re using. It’s an order.
well you need to hack it to run in 1080 called uniWS. Designed for underground 2, but you just need to rename the most wanted exe and it’ll do the same job. There’s slight hud stretching, but you get used to that.
Aside from that, I just use car mods, which are really easy to install. There is a mod called ‘modern rockport’ with some retexturing, but I’ve not tried that.
WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE A GARG DIE?
I wonder what kind of prayer they’re doing?
You scientists sure nothing is wrong?
So much potential wasted, damn.
It was fun fighting up on the blacklist 'til you beat the douche that stole your car back in the original.
RAZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR
Plus the girl helping you out was ridiculously hot. :jizz:
That’s the only reason I ever sat through that 10 second driver safety video intro.
Cross was a badass. The fmv/3D cutscenes were so cheesy they were good 
EUUUUVREEEEE1111
Key my M3GTR?
That fucker’s looking for a war.
:fffuuu: what did I start a week ago…
Completed the main story today. Maybe, 9 hours? They’ve made the xp far too high for each win, and too many of the races are optional.
I noticed even more corners cut too; each car only has 3/4 colours, what happened to the amazing paintjobs of before? Also a lot of the routes are duplicated. Most cars share at least one race between all of them. You’d think with such experience Criterion wouldn’t do this.
We may Never know…
