Let me start off by saying that NFS: Most Wanted is arguably my favorite all time racing game. I beat the PC version and then the PS2 version and then the 360 version. So needless to say I picked it up for my PSP as well.
Let's not beat around the bush: this version of Most Wanted is horrible. It starts off alright, kind of. You might get 2 or 3 races in before encountering the cops. But once you do you'll realize the downfall of this game.
You don't so much race as you get pushed around the course by the cops. There's no exaggeration in that. I'm only up to level 11 and I've spent at least 7 races with one or more entire laps having to try and make turns with a cop pushing me all over the place.
Obviously as a Most Wanted fan I knew going in that the cops ignored the other street racers and focused solely on you, but this is ridiculous. It's like someone at EA decided that despite having a near perfect game on every other platform it was in need of a makeover and that makeover was "all cops, all the time".
There's really no saving grace for the game. It's not a bad racer otherwise, but it's not a great racer either.
If I could recommend anything I would point you in the direction of Juiced 2 on the PSP. As far as I can tell in my couple of hours in it's nearly identical to the 360 version. An enormous selection of cars, great graphics and great contols. If you're an arcade racing fan check it out and leave Most Wanted for other platforms.Get more detail about Need for Speed Most Wanted.
