Need for Speed Most Wanted

In previous posts I've talked about getting Need for Speed Carbon but after reading numerous reviews I decided to get Need for Speed Most Wanted which was one of the launch titles for the Xbox 360. There was a certain aspect that a lot of people saw was missing from Carbon, namely the cop chases that are prevalent in Most Wanted. I personally like a challenge and the cop chases give me that because I have to use my skills to run away from "the man" as fast as I can.

The only thing that I don't like so far is that nothing in Most Wanted takes place at night. In Carbon the opposite is true where everything takes place at night. I've only gone through a quarter of the game so far but right now it looks pretty good. I'm not as adept at creating mayhem though but thats a hold out from my Burnout days (Burnout 5 comes out in 2007!) where I had to avoid hitting things to win a race whereas in Most Wanted its kinda encouraged in order to block your opponents.

Ahh now on to the cars! I've gotten a few cars already and sold a couple as well. I started out with a Chevy Cobolt SS and that was good for the first few races that I did. In the game you have to deal with 15 boss characters and when you win, if you're lucky you win their car. The first car that I won was a SWEET VW Golf GTI that was already tricked out. I of course added some of my own personal flair by giving it nicer rims, changing the paint a bit, and tuning the engine so it goes faster. It was my favorite car for a good portion of the game that I've played. I've also won a Lexus IS300 but it was a hideous brown/gold so I changed it to red and it drives alright but it skids too much for my taste. I did manage to get a Toyota Supra but that sucker spun out worse than the Lexus so I ended up stripping it then selling it so I could buy another car. I had my wife choose what car I should get with the money that I had and she opted for a red Audi TT Quatro. Not a bad little car if I do say so myself, and I made it even better by pumping an extra 30 grand into it to make it a little bad ass auto. My favorite right now is the RX8 that I won. I tossed maybe 20 grand into that car to tune it up, change the paint job and add some dark tints so it looks totally sweet. I wish I could take pics of it on the 360 and post them online.

I'll probably end up playing the game for the next few weeks trying to beat it. I've sorta lost interest in FIFA 2006 and although my brother in law bought FIFA 2007 I'm not that interested in playing it since there are way more cars to get and to trick out. Oh yeah!
