Apart from that, everything is as you would expect from the other versions of the game. Online multiplayer makes its way to the Wii U as well with only the minor concession of the max players at anyone time reduced to 6 from 8. It’s something different at least, it can be abused though to make the game quite a bit easier. You can also switch cars on the fly with the GamePad. Not only is it a helpful map on the touch screen, it allows for a second party to help you out by distracting cops, turning traffic on or off and even changing the time of day. The real showcase though is the new co-driver feature.

The Off TV play naturally is here and easy to switch on or off. The Wii U version though comes into its own with benefits the GamePad brings. It’s all or nothing, you aren’t able to subtly squeeze the brakes or accelerator, you’ll have to tap away to get the same effect.

The only real problem with the controls would be the inclusion of digital triggers on both the GamePad and the Pro controller. Most Wanted basically supports every input method you could think of, the GamePad, Pro Controller, Wii Remote, Wii Remote with Nunchuk and even the Classic Controller are supported here.

Each car handles in its on own way, it’ll be up to you to figure out how to drive each one and what control setup suits you. Of course you can post to Miiverse at anytime for bragging rights as well, hold the record on a billboard and your Mii will adorn it until someone smashed that record – literally.Īs always, nothing is ever too serious in the world of Need for Speed but with Criterion behind this one you know the racing is to be fun, but not overly easy. That means all of your friends’ scores are right there ready to be broken live and online. Some upgrades are pure speed and handling updates but others will help you drive off road or re-inflate your tyres.Ĭruising out the city can be fun as well, there’s tons of speed camera leaderboards to top, billboards to smash and all of these are connected to Autolog. Each car is different and is upgraded independent of the others, you’ll need to win races in each car to get the best out of them. Each of the cars is hidden around Fairhaven in jack spots, find them and own the car from then on. Aston Martin, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Ford, Dodge, BMW and more are all here, the names you haven’t heard of too – they’re usually the fastest as well. Luckily you have a selection of some of the most powerful and expensive cars in the world at your disposal.
The cops will be in your way the entire time, this is of course Need for Speed after all. This does mean that the game feel a bit vacant at times, once you start and you’re introduced to the game that’s it, you’re left on your own. There’s no story here, no cheesy cutscenes – just the loose goal of topping off the most wanted racers. You can choose to drive to an event or warp right there, each race takes place in a different part of town – but you don’t have to follow the roads to get from A to B.ĭifferent types of events will require different driving styles, the mini map will be your friend until you learn the city layout and multiple locations will be used in different races.

The entire game takes place out of full screen menus and picked from the Easy Drive menu which can be brought up at anytime. Most Wanted takes place in Fairhaven, the city is not only your playground but your race track. Most Wanted was already a good game, it’s even better on Wii U. Need for Speed Most Wanted U was delayed four months to make sure the Wii U got a great port and it shows. Now, Criterion are the masters of the Need for Speed domain and like Burnout 2 on the GameCube, don’t release anything sub par.
That game was Burnout 2 and it was awesome. There hasn’t been a Criterion game on a Nintendo system in more than a decade.
