Comment on Need for Speed: Most Wanted – The game that got me into racing

My little brother LOVED Need for Speed: Most Wanted, the PS3 version, still have it to this day. When I boot it up, I’m kinda amazed at how well the graphics look for a 2010 game, almost comparable to games od today. It’s to this day the only racing game I’ve ever tried, its soundtrack is iconic to me. I believe there is another most wanted that the community upholds as the holy grail of NFS, but alas, never tried it.

2010 was Hot Pursuit (3, technically). 2005 is Most Wanted (what op is talking about). 2012 is Most Wanted (2).
My peak NFS game was Undergrad 2 and MW '05. HP '10 was fun, but lacked the lived-in feel. MW '12 was good, mixing Burnout Paradise with NFS; the last good nfs, all since then have been a letdown.

Ohhh then I had most wanted 2 the 2012, excuse me as I have 0 car knowledge so will not attempt to decrypt what you have said beyond the first paragraph.
I apologise for my rudeness.

Don’t feel and about it it’s a common mistake, all based on the fact that the second game was also just called “Most Wanted” - to every fan’s great chagrin. It’s why I’m always (to the point of annoyance) making sure to spell out Most Wanted (2005) whenever I talk about it.

Hot Pursuit is the last Burnout game in my opinion. I love the handling in that game. MW is my fave but I definitely play Hot Pursuit more nowadays due to its pick up and play nature.

Underground 2 was also my personal entry - it runs great on steam deck (with a little work, as it’s not available on steam to my knowledge)

It’s not. I bought a boxed copy shortly after release and while I lost the box, I’ve retained the game and no-cd crack for like 22 years across like 8 machines.
I recently re-beat the game and the steering isn’t as controllable as I remember, but it’s still fun. LAN gaming with Zerotier was fun too.
