Features:
This game looks like an extract of an epic car chase scene from a Hollywood blockbuster movie. It’s a high-octane, fast paced, mayhem causing, dash to evade the endless & ever chasing police force. You can play solo or log into Origin to check the “Wanted List” and find out who is the Most Wanted across platforms and among your friends (that’s if you can gain access to the network). I really appreciate how the game assists you in the beginning to show you how to race and especially how to drift for bending curves while maintaining top speeds. As you play, races get progressively difficult and may require a modification of speed, handling, nitro boost, lighten or hardened chassis to emerge victorious in your speed bouts.
Need for Speed Most Wanted features two ways to steer and control your car; tilt (accelerometer) or touching to steer- even the sensitivity of this can be tweaked in the settings. In rival gaming series, Asphalt, I prefer touch screen control yet in this title I prefer the tilt controls as the touch controls rather suck.

Of course your main objective is to try to win every race, or if you cannot at least try to complete within the set goals of bronze through gold to earn SP, awards and cash for upgrades. Aside of pure racing, I find the game to be a bit repetitive, but their are some things to deter this a bit including multi-player racing, time-wait to unlock tracks and various race goals. One thing I find really awfully annoying in Need for Speed Most Wanted is the police. As you race they initially seems to bother the other computer players briefly, then only solely focus on taking you down. It can be clearly seen when glancing at the track indicator on the mid-left side, you often see one or more cops crowded only around your car and never around other drivers. I think EA should spread this nuance around a bit and not have it so obvious. But I guess this is a video game and there are many other unfathomable actions in the game… like how I was able to project this cop’s SUV some thirty feet in the air for an epic #fail!
Speaking of crash and burns, the Martix-like visual effects of how it enters slow-motion while whipping around to show you the damage is a wicked cool effect! Fluid smooth gameplay and adrenaline pumping visuals make this a must-play racing game.
Note: the game downloads an additional 550 MB so you’ll need this storage space.

Fun Factor:
Need for Speed Most Wanted is definitely one of the most fun and intense racing games on Android, I fear it can be hindered a bit in the long-term by the repetitive nature of the game, it’s fantastic for shorter bursts however.
Addictive:
Online multi-player features only magnifies the addictive nature of the game as you can compete with friends and others. However, the urge to unlock and collect 35 exotic cars can keep you interested for a while.
Graphics:
We couldn’t rave enough about the graphics! Definitely PlayStation/Xbox console quality and renders super smooth without hitch. There is serious attention to details as seen in the branded billboards you break through, realistic drive suspension motion, vehicle damages, lighting & particle effects, takedown crashes, or how you can feel the motion blur as you zoom past the police.
Accelerometer, Vibration & Sound:
As mentioned, the accelerometer tilt controls are superb, plus you can configure the sensitivity level in the settings. I don’t care for the touch controls as they are far too unstable for my style of racing. The sound effects and music tracks you rock out to while racing are absolutely sublime, all of which are licensed from notable musicians. You must also have a police scanner in your car because you can hear when they’re after you and when they’ll deploy spike-strips on you too.
