This means no pausing or anything until it autosaves, which to me seems unpolished and without thought. Mildly annoying however, is the fact that at the beginning of races and immediately after races you are unable to open either the EasyDrive menu or the Start Menu for 10-15 seconds. I enjoyed being able to swap performance parts on the fly. The EasyDrive menu is an interesting idea that works for the most part. The Blacklist racers pose no challenge and are easier than standard races. It’s discouraging as the game doesn’t reward you with a good lead for driving well. I rarely beat a race in 1st place by more than several car lengths. The Rubber-banding of the AI in the game is pretty extreme as well, although it does go both ways and keeps them from getting too far ahead of you. I’d much prefer crashing and being able to reverse and fix the car myself, as opposed to an obnoxious screen that takes you out of the gameplay. It usually averages about 5 seconds, but I have seen it drag on to 8-9 seconds or so several times. Every time you crash it takes you into a little cinematic screen that tells you that you crashed. The decline starts with the “Crashed” screen. The handling on the cars is good and it feels like a good arcade racer. It’s a Criterion game through and through. The gameplay is a mixed bag, the actual racing is fine. That was my biggest gripe with this aspect of the game.

You are basically dropped into a vast world and told racing is big in this city, become the best. You are essentially taking down empty cars.

The Blacklist racers are nameless and faceless. There isn’t any personality in this game though the only voice you get is the Autolog woman. Rog and Mia would call in and give you intel and tips. You got played, lost your car and fought to get it back. The 2005 iteration of Most Wanted had a story. Now before you say “It’s a racing game, it doesn’t need a story.” I’m not looking for a polished fantastic story I’m looking for an acceptable and mildly interesting reason for the racing. This is my first review and it’s going to be a fairly negative one, so if you’re looking for a positive happy review look elsewhere, ha-ha. After playing and completing Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012), I found myself so astronomically disappointed, that I felt it necessary to write a review.
