Need for Speed's Reboot to return to its underground roots

[mottamort]

the original 6 NFS games up to hot pursuit II

Most wanted was pretty good, and a return of exotic cars. most wanted also had a pretty varied map

carbon was a ok, pro street looked good but handled crap, undercover was a collosal handling and graphical failure.

the 1st shift game was really good, it was like a breath of fresh air, it was ten times better than blackbox ever did during the prior years

Shift 2 looked impressive but the handling was a bit too loose and disjointed, sales also sucked thats why a shift 3 was never made (technically project cars is shift 3 since it uses an evolution of that engine)

Hot Pursuit 2010 was extremely impressive, probably the best of the 3rd wave nfs titles

THe run looked good but failed in the gameplay department and with its schitty sticky ai

most wanted reboot looked stunning at times, pity it didnt sell so well

rivals looked good but a game that cant pause, seriously ?

Most wanted has to be my favourite in the series. It had it all combined (and wasn't limited to "ooh badass night-time racing"), and was all optional. I felt the Underground titles semi forced you to "pimp" your ride, where Most Wanted didn't. And as you say, it was the return of the exotic cars...The whole game just worked quite well.

They then lost the plot again with Carbon IMHO. Can't comment on some of the others as I kinda gave up, tried The Run. The F%&#ING annoying ai "catchup" crap really pissed me off. If I can overtake EVERYONE within the first 1/3 of the map from all the way in the back, why do i then have to constantly fight them all when I'm ahead only to lose right at the end despite a perfect run, because the AI can somehow go 300km/h through that last turn.

I wish they'd do a proper exotic super car redo, as [MENTION=12607]mottamort[/MENTION] said. I loved NFS:SE (the first one) the most and had months of fun with it. I remember playing the demo (with that royal blue Dodge Viper along the coastal track) to death before getting the game. I still remember the rumbling sound as you drive through the wooden bridge on that one autumn-themed track...

Don't be hating on NFS Underground, literary playing at this moment, very fun. So glad they are going back to their Underground roots, best was nr2, was still best in the series.(in my opinion)

UG1 is better than UG2 for me, but different strokes for different folks

loved the first UG, ug 2 was ok but I loved Most wanted (not the reboot/rehash)

I wonder if the upgradeable engine and body parts, are going to be fully licensed, or be given generic names?

Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) is my favourite and most memorable; Underground 2 follows in at a close 2nd.
