Despite its inconsistencies and disappointments, there's a lot to like about Need for Speed: Most Wanted U. Fairhaven is a lovely and varied city that looks gorgeous no matter how fast or slow you're going. Police chases provide plenty of reckless, high-speed thrills, and seeing friends dominate the billboards in your city fans the flames of friendly competition in an innovative and very effective way.
Yet if there’s one thing sung loud and clear by Criterion, it’s that this isn’t a half-hearted port simply delivered to expand upon the Wii U software library for the sake of it. It’s an engaging experience that successfully builds upon the foundations laid for its console counterparts. And for that, a most worthwhile purchase indeed.
As with all sandbox games the narrative is of your own making but this is even more true of Most Wanted. The side-effect is that it can feel aimless at times. If you desire structure, if you wanted a game to be meted out to you, you might find its instant freedom somewhat overwhelming.
