Posted under Games & My Thoughts
I have finally finished the game. Actually I finished it last week and I took roughly two weeks to finish the game with my busy work life. I am the most notorious driver and number one on the blacklist. Yes, if you play games, you will know, I am the number one on the blacklist in the game Need For Speed Most Wanted.
It is one of the best driving games which I have played so far inclusive of their earlier version which is Need For Speed Underground one and two. It was both good games but this latest one blew it off. Though they were good, but it lacked the police squad which will chase and hunt you down when you start tearing down the road in your wheels. The game was really an addictive one, which caused me 2 weeks of sleepless nights thinking nothing other than the game. I spent every evening and even up to the wee hours of the night just playing the game.
I would say the game faired very well, but then it does need some improvement though. The game still feature a limited set of cars which you can purchase and the sound of the roaring engines really makes your adrenaline rush all the way from your toes to your head. I guess to have them load in more cars like in the game Grand Tourismo 4 would be a wishlist, which would not happen anytime soon as they have not done it throughout the series. Another thing I noticed is that the upgrade options are all predefined and there is not much you can control. You just need to know stuff from lowest to highest performance which is sports, pro, super pro, and ultimate.
The things I like best about this game is the police stuff. They have a range of code from 1 to 5 being 5 is the most dangerous chase. They have squad cars from the lower range to corvette as well as helicopters. It’s just pure adrenaline when you are being chased by 15 police cars and a helicopter. But bear in mind it can get very frustrating when you can’t shake them off after 20 minutes.
I guess I like the game because it is a pure adrenaline rush and it’s not the kind of game that needs you to think too much but rather to have your reflexes take over. Every decision in a split second determines if you get busted or not you get away from all the cops. It’s a fairly easy game to pick up and you will get into it straight away. But you do need time to train your reflexes to finish the game and of coz a bit of brains to know how to stir the cops away from your trail.
I guess games do get people like me addicted and the only thing that you can think of is just to finish the game. I guess games does have a big effect to all it’s fans, be it in the younger generation or the older ones. For me, I know a game is a game and all that I do in the game does not goes out in the streets. I guess the power to differentiate that is going to ensure that gamers are at a healthy state rather than taking their rage and mimicking what they can do in the games out on the streets. But how to you know you are mature enough to comprehend all others from reality. That is a question many have asked but so few have the answers to it. Like Josie Maran said in the game…
Do all your racing in the games and drive carefully on the streets
And remember to wear your seatbelts.

Life has sadly developed into a racing ground.
No one can avoid it no matter how or what they do.
Like you said, indirectly racing with time wins all
Life has been prizes as the trophy when you crosses the finish line.
But do be careful while racing at it K

If you liked that, you definitely must get this! I will keep your heart pumping but beware the dissapointment when you can’t shake em away or reach just a second slower…
Happy gaming…
