NFS Most Wanted 2012 is overhated

[miles]

NFS MW 2012 is very overhated. It's a good game with a terrible name. It's basically Burnout Paradise with licensed cars. The name Most Wanted is false advertising, so people that expect it to be like MW 2005 will be disappointed. Many fans of MW 2005 just see MW 2012 as the shit Most Wanted, but really it's just a different style of arcade racer. If MW 2012 was given a different name, I think it would be well liked.

I think a lot of NFS games get strange amounts of flak, both fair and unfair.

I remember some people thinking that Underground 2 had killed the franchise back when it was first released, too.

I guess they really didn't like the idea of an open world NFS game.

I mean fans always have a hated game like Prostreet and
The Run even is decent games fans will hate it.

Hey at least you enjoy and spread that is a hidden gem that one convinced me I should try it (to be honest I haven't play the Most Wanted on ps2)

Most Wanted 2005 isn't a hidden gem. It's one of the best selling and most beloved racing games of all time.

Burnout Fairhaven is the best alternative name I've seen.

I played three NFS titles until now, and I liked all of them:

- "Underground", my very first one from the series, on pc, I got stuck at a race near the end because I wasn't able to win, but I enjoyed it a lot, I loved my shiny green/blue customized car and the music was running through my veins (I was younger and that was one of the very first videogames I had ever played)

- "2012 Most Wanted" on Vita version (that was the most modern console I had a the time to play a NFS) and I truly enjoyed completing all the challenges for every car, and sometimes simply driving aimelessy. Looking back now, the graphic is a bit blurry, but when I played it I had no problems and I think the gameplay, the controls and the "feeling" were great (in some other driving game I felt it a bit clumsy)

- "Hot Pursuit" for the Switch, again this is the most modern console I have now so when I turned it on the graphics let me "wow", I completed all the available races for both criminal and police and kept coming back to play again some race with a different car. Porsche and Lamborghini, my joy!

About open world, I found myself ok in "Most Wanted 2012", never had trouble to understand where you need to go; when I tried "Burnout Paradise" on Switch, and also some other racing game on psp, while appreciating the gameplay I remember I kept getting confused. I had to look at the tiny minimap because during races it was difficult (for me) to understand where to go, in fact I played for some hours but then I re-sold it.
