Still, with extra features that expand the potential audience and a $15 DLC pack thrown in for free, if you haven’t already picked up this game this is the definitive Most Wanted experience.An indirect sequel to both the original Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Criterion's own Burnout Paradise, the game returns to the open world game play of the titles in the franchise, allowing the player to explore a large, modern city filled with events and shortcuts for the player to find. These new elements that the Wii U version brings are slightly hampered by some minor control issues though. The Wii U version of NFS Most Wanted U sacrifices nothing from other console versions and adds some good features that improve the game’s accessibility.
Effects such as the screaming echo of your engine through a tunnel or the sound of your tires protesting a loss of grip as they scrub against the pavement really add to the drama. That being said, I could swear the Gallardo and R8 sound exactly the same though. Engine notes for the various cars may not be as painstakingly recreated as those found in a game like Forza but most have a distinct note to them. Turning the soundtrack down a little bit really brings out the sounds of the cars and action. The default balance of music to in-game sound is skewed too heavily towards the music side of things for my liking. Generally I think EA games sound pretty good in general. I should note though that you can also play the game using the Wii Remote, Wii Remote and Nunchuk, or the Wii Classic Controller. The brake isn’t that big of a deal since you rarely do more than tap it to induce drift but the on/off nature of the throttle is what I found bothersome. More bothersome is the fact the GamePad’s triggers don’t have any analog play. The majority of my gaming is done on the Xbox 360 so it is a bit of an adjustment for your right hand to make sure your thumb is covering the buttons for handbrake and boost.

Since I don’t own a Pro controller for the Wii U, my playtime was exclusively with the GamePad. Where Most Wanted U falls short of its Xbox 360 counterpart is the control. Night racing bugs me from time to time, especially when I’m gaming during the day and the room is bright. The same thing goes for being able to switch between day and night on the fly. This is done via the GamePad’s touchscreen without entering a pause menu. I got the score I wanted and then turned the traffic back on. For example, I was able to simply turn the traffic off as I looked to set as high of a speed as possible using the Bugatti Veyron through a speed trap. This allows the player to tailor the difficulty level on the fly.
Being a parent whose child is already taking an interest in what daddy is playing and who is nearing that age where they are going to want to play games, I really appreciate this.Įven when playing solo with the GamePad the Co-Driver options are available for use. This mode is perfect to give younger gamers who may not yet be fully able to play a game like this a chance to interact with it and affect gameplay. A second player uses the GamePad to tweak various gameplay elements such as turning traffic on or off, toggling between day and night, or disrupting cops when there is a pursuit. This cooperative mode allows one player to use the Wii Remote or Pro controller to play the game.
HOW TO PLAY NEED FOR SPEED MOST WANTED ON THE WII U UPGRADE
This is great if you just want to focus on upgrading one or two cars but getting 100% of everything will require dozens upon dozens of hours trying to upgrade all of the cars and find the various collectibles hidden throughout the city of Fairhaven.Īmong the new Wii U exclusive features, the one with the most impact is the Co-Driver mode. The only issue I have here, which isn’t exclusive to this version whatsoever, is that upgrades are earned for each car individually. Speed Points are also earned by pulling off various Burnout-inspired moves such as big drifts, driving into oncoming traffic and weaving through tight traffic without making contact. Points are earned and upgrades determined by how well you fare in these events. Regardless of how they are named, the events are the standard NFS types. The gameplay can best be described as a mash up of NFS and Burnout. You do this by competing in various races, events and driving as ‘over-the-top’ as possible. The name of the game in Most Wanted is accumulating Speed Points and getting to the top spot on the Most Wanted list.
