Most Wanted has its flaws. It’s a bit of a slog, some races aren’t worth doing cause shorter races are worth just as much cash, and there aren’t enough differences between cars to make them feel all that different to drive. The physics can even be a pain sometimes, too.
But you tend to forget about all that as a squad of Corvette cop cars chases you down the Rockport freeway and you’re slamming through road blocks and praying you don’t hit a spike strip. Most Wanted is a flawed gem in every sense of the word and is still worth your time regardless.
