Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Who's got this game yet? - Page 7

Yeah that's what I thought, is it absolutely necessary to do a burnout every time to take off?

i reckon if you had a wheel/pedals, you'd be able to regulate it, but with a keyboard, obviously not.

Another thing that frustrated me in the game besides the wheelspin was those few seconds after you knock over a pursuit breaker, the car is under computer control (while it shows the donut collapse, gas pumps explode, etc.). The car returns to my control and I discover the computer has just driven my car over a spikestrip.

I just finished all the challenge series races. I like how about halfway through them, you start driving traffic and cop cars (although you are still trying to avoid being arrested). It's good fun driving through roadblocks in a cement truck. I've now unlocked all the cars in quick race mode.

What does the Black Edition have over the normal Most Wanted?

If you don't want to do a burnout at the start of a race, don't press accelerate until the 1 comes up. No one says you have to hold it on from the start!!!

M14A-Mclaren · 09-01-2006, 12:54 PM

Another thing I've noticed is that if you want to go like 50k the game will stop the car for you, so it really is impossible to obey the law at all.

well i got the game for christmas and finaly i got to open it this weekend and play, i got the xbox copy because it looked to me to be a consol type game ,not computer , im happy so far but to me it seems like it will take for ever to finish.
Whats with it loading my profile from start up ,how do my sons play without using my player as such, can anyone help with that

Alan

divine_afg · 09-01-2006, 02:59 PM

create a new profile....... after you do that it may and may not load your profile from the start but u can go back to load profile and choose to load the profile you want

divine_afg · 09-01-2006, 03:06 PM

i dont know if any1 has noticed but if you dont want to do burnout at the start u need to get perfect shift !!! wen u accelerate watch the tacho needle it will change to blue thats the point were u need to keep the needle at or close then see the car fly of the line.............. also you can change the performance options and choose better handling by moving the slider to the right which makes the car slide less better handling !!!

That actually makes it harder, but maybe I just need more practice with it. :gren:

yeah we arnt worried about that. its when you are in a chase, or actually racing and you spin out or something. you cant get a perfect shift then... you just do a whopping big burnout making it hard to avoid SUV's trying to ram you/box you in.

feathers- really? i would have thought it would have been easy to nail perfect shifts and stuff at the start of races and what not. and actually feather the throttle on take off if wheelspin occurs.

Kapn_Kiwi · 09-01-2006, 06:31 PM

Extra cars, another challenge.

I guess it depends how responsive your set up is. I find the steering a real pain, and the brakes lag. I tried for a week to use the wheel and pedals to play it, since they had been a christmas gift, but I went back to the controller. Got a lot further in the blacklist, a lot quicker.
Though like I said, maybe I just need more practice with it.

Kapn_Kiwi · 09-01-2006, 07:40 PM

Feathers - if you went back and started the game over, it probably wouldn't be too hard. It's hard to change part way through because you're facing more difficult racers and trying to get used to the wheel.

14 or 15? jeez, I got it second try, and was wondering what all the fuss was about saying it was the hardest challenge... I'm good at a game for once

fair enough, im on pc. so keyboard it is, because for some reason, after numerous atempts, my comp wont recognise my wheel anymore...

kapn- thats pretty good. that was my first chase with the suv things though, that werent in a road block. cause i was up to black list 10 at the time. either way, i dont think it was THAT hard. the hardest part was getting yourself unstuck if you spun the camaro. and thats when i'd get busted.

Yeah I just took her out onto the highway and went as fast as I could. The bounty stacks up fast in the higher levels. I think I stopped maybe twice in my second attempt.

Bucknaked · 19-01-2006, 09:03 AM

The docks. Which way is it

: I'm lost.

Bucknaked · 19-01-2006, 09:22 AM

Same here. Bit of an anti-climax though.

F6 UTE · 20-01-2006, 10:50 PM

Sad day, my Porsch Carrera GT got impounded..

My DB9 got sprung after the Corvette Fed cars got me..

Is there 'any' way to get away from those guys??

Also, top speeds, what's yours,?? I can get about 350kph from the Carrera b4 a bend comes up..

Paris Hilton · 22-01-2006, 06:47 PM

Got the game a few days ago...

Personally I think that ricing out these exotics is wrong, so all my cars are sleepers...

Heres my fully sick Monaro

They probably think they are too good for NFS:MW, which can be kind of justified.
