Games Need For Speed series has long been the de facto standard in the genre of arcade races (at least on PC). If some of the serious Racing game is still going kind of struggle, and there are projects that can compete with the reference Colin McRae Rally, then in the arcade incarnation unchallenged reign brainchild of Electronic Arts. Attempts to throw honored veteran of the throne have been many times. Over the past year alone just two serious competitor, Street Racing Syndicate and Juiced, decided to throw the gauntlet Need For Speed. The offensive was prepared so thoroughly that Need for Speed Underground 2 began slowly to retreat under pressure from rivals. The players were waiting - is it the eternal leader would give the palm of the hands of ambitious newcomers? But out Need for Speed Most Wanted, and fans breathed a sigh of relief. Revolution did not happen.
How to break out of people After the two parts of the Underground, many felt that the Need For Speed forgotten how to amaze. Nevertheless, the developers of these months is not resting on their laurels and have managed to teach us a few surprises. From time-tested stritreyserskoy subjects did not give up. Why let the soup the goose that lays golden eggs? But the third time to produce virtually the same game would be just silly. Fortunately, found a middle ground rather quickly.
Plot Most Wanted again ready to tell us the story of an unnamed stritreysera. In addition to kid's sports model BMW is still a big dream - to break into the first line of the so-called "black list» (Black List). This - the list of the most desperate street racing, for whose head police promises respectable remuneration. Months of training and dangerous races give the result - to win the line in the rankings, there is very little. But at the last minute luck makes a sharp turn by 180 degrees. Having lost the car and miraculously being selected from the police, the hero (and with it, and us) have to start your way from the beginning.
Constant companion, the virtual driver will Gorgeous Mia, who also voiced Josie Maran. It is true that much good little girl. All its functions are to that from time to time to your phone will receive SMS with congratulations on the successful completion of phase with the wishes or to be more careful next time.
Well, next comes the hard work, proudly referred to as a Most Wanted career mode. In order to challenge another participant "black list", you must win a certain number of races to be won in several races with the police and, finally, to collect the required number of points that characterize the degree of attractiveness of your face for the cops. Only after that the player is able to fight with another street racing and in the case of two victories to move on.
At first glance, this organization's career looks very attractive. It would seem, ride da conquer new titles. The problem is that the number of races and chases, which must win to advance to the "black list" is growing by leaps and bounds.Over time, this time to the monotonous process so annoying that 60% of the players drop out half way through his career, and only the remaining 40%, gritting his teeth, still get to the final.
Make a small variety of bonuses, which give the defeated rivals. In the most successful cases, you can get the car of a competitor or any cool "piece of iron." But the majority of prizes have no real use.
Profession - Street Racer The remaining game modes also do not sparkle with originality. Most of them have already met us in the previous parts. On the original site remained Racing, sprint, racing to take off, check for check-point and a short flight with a manual transmission. No major changes in these regimes did not happen, so you can easily understand what to do in any given race.
Of the newcomers is the lack of treatment speedtrap. During the flight on a few control points measured speed, and the winner is the one whose net result at the finish line is greater. But in fact speedtrap - it's the same sprint. Because 90% of winning the one who first crosses the finish line.
Far greater interest are the race with the police. They make you spend the game sleepless nights, because the more exciting and incendiary action, we have not seen for a long time. According to inflame the passions of Most Wanted beats, not every fighter.
We offer not just run away from police, but also to perform certain tasks at the same time. In one case, the player puts credit if it succeeds in breaking through several police cordons, the other is required to leave the chase for a certain time, to break the police car, or smash into pieces of city property. Similar brainteasers There are a great multitude, so that the process of pursuit is of special significance. Sometimes we do not run from the cops, but on the contrary, in every way run up to the trouble to accomplish the mission.
Special charm arrivals attach great game spaces. Broad highways, country roads, crammed to the eyeballs urban trails, narrow alleys and even a green field - the experienced street racers have a place to turn.
Idyllic picture is complemented by excellent graphics performance, which has long since become standard in the series. Cars, as expected, glitter lacquered sides, scratch and fight. True, smash into pieces can only be someone else's machine. Your personal car is more like a tank - he was scratched but not broken.
Individual merit admiration lighting effects. Sunrises and sunsets in the game could inspire a very fine nature to write poems. The only pity is that all this beauty flies a couple of seconds outside sports car racing at speeds under 200 km / h.
Also worth mentioning is excellent physics car. Developers Need For Speed series has once again succeeded in creating a successful combination of pragmatism and convenience. Races in Most Wanted will not force you to show the wonders of driving in extreme situations and do not require years of practice. Cars responsive to the control and rarely shows his character.Nevertheless, they do not look like toys. Every car is subject to all laws of physics - he puts in a corner, throws up on the bumps and turns smartly after the collision.
Best is the enemy of the good Just a couple of hours in Most Wanted is enough to understand - in front of us the best representative of the genre of arcade races to date. Beautiful, intelligent, interesting and stunningly stylish game. Equally spectacular chases and stunning special effects you will not find in any other project of this genre. But most importantly - is the incomparable atmosphere that allows literally revel in speed and enjoy each superelevation. And there are exciting salochek with the police we have not met since Need For Speed 3: Hot Pursuit. At least for them is to buy the game and pass it through. Of course, without the disadvantages of not happened. Especially annoying is too overextended career mode. And the other game modes do not offer us something radically new. But all this can be forgiven. Indeed, in Most Wanted is the most important quality racing arcade - excellent speed, dynamics and entertainment.
