  • I’m guessing you mean the original Most Wanted. That game was excellent. I think the ‘special place in my heart’ is probably reserved for NFS 3 (which I played the absolute shit out of and was the first NFS game to include cop chases) or the first one just because it introduced me to the series. Most Wanted though was the last good NFS game in my opinion. I lost interest when Underground came out, but when the demo for MW was released I played it so much I had to buy the game. The soundtrack was good as I recall; I think it was also the last NFS game where I didn’t immediately mute the music.

    And yeah, the police pursuits were really good in that. Hard enough to be a challenge, but not so hard that it was punishing.








  • Apparently some people don’t like that you asked that question.

    I honestly couldn’t say. Usually I’d be able to give you a definite answer one way or another (and maybe my answer would be different if I’d played the game first) but I don’t think there’s a huge difference. Maybe just go with whatever you get a hold of first? That said, you can never go wrong with experiencing the source material first; at least not when the adaptation is of a similar quality. You’ll have a good experience either way. It really just depends on whether you want to watch the show and say “oh that’s how they did that in the show” or play the game second and say “Oh, that’s what it was originally like!”




  • My only issue with IV is that Niko’s constant agonising over not wanting to kill people anymore is at odds with the general gameplay of GTA; a game where you’ll probably end up killing at least one innocent person on your way to the mission, let alone the dozen or so cops/criminals you’ll kill during the mission.

    The ending really got me though. On my first playthrough I drove around the city for at least an hour real-time trying to decide what to do.
