6:21 In the first race against Ronny, he doesn't have the DB9 yet, instead he's driving a Toyota Supra. Edit: Fun fact: Mings Gallardo has ultimate parts installed, except for the nitrous, which you unlock by beating him.
@@sancheziumbruh8809 True. Because it has upgrades one would normally be unable to obtain before beating Blacklist 3, Ronny. At least that's true for the turbo and the engine upgrades.
I got thr gallardo on a pinkslip and wanted to upgrade it and saw it was almost fully tuned out so i was like "i guess i can spend the money to upgrade supra and carrera s"
Thanks for using my Redux to save your eyes 🤣 I just released the new version to adress many of the problems of 2.3, NFS modding community is more than alive in those days, a lot of talentful modders are working everyday to improve this gem day after day, I just did my part to promote their amazing work (and mixing them with my personal taste)
It's good work they've done, and good work you've done to organize the collection. I've updated the description to include a link to your video on the newest version. Thanks for the work you've put into maintaining this!
@@peeron6829 I like it, but my heart is in MW and Carbon :P I will revisit Underground 2 this year, I have a big overhaul project coming also for it :)
yeah bro like most wanted even if that old for me is still the best need for speed, the sense of speed the pretty good desings on the cars the music, its just perfect for being 17 years old
The reason of this game being so special is the handling, it's by far the best and most fun handling in any NFS game. I'd love to EA come back for something like this, i hate the handling on the new games, i believe that's why Forza Horizon is tearing up everything on the scene, just because is freaking fun to drive around.
Actually I took it as the cop was 'complimenting' the car's wheels, shifter, and gauges because they were likely custom designed and flashy, rather than him just being awed by the fact the car possessed things.
Bro he called the last chase "nonsense" that was like the most epic moment of ourselves, we get the feeling that we truly are the most wanted.... I do understand though that he might be creating provocative videos to rile people up. But it's his opinion. In general we all know how we love this game so much
My boyfriend and I actually just started playing this game again after years of not picking it up. While I will agree the later half is a bit of a slog, this game is just way too special and fun that we're having a hard time putting it down. Working on finally finishing it like we should've done when we were kids.
i didnt click on this video to hear a roasting of EA's stillstanding flagship, by some nancyboy who dont know what's under a hood, and hasn't activated windows
I love this! But just to clarify as a car guy, at 4:25 he's referring to the aftermarket wheel, sequential gearbox and added gauges to monitor temps, boost etc. Hence he says if it's for show, or if there is more to know about as in illegal modifications, I get the the comedic effect you were going for, but yeah that made complete sense actually :)
Cross is trying to say it has race gauges, a short shifter, and a quick release wheel, all of which are used in race cars. The race gauges tell you your fluid pressure levels for your fuel, your oil, and your coolant. Granted, modern car infotainment systems can generally do all that nowadays but back then you had to install that stuff aftermarket. The short shifter for manual cars (which are generally considered better overall because they have better transmission lifetimes and allow you to control better how much power and torque is going to the wheels at any given time, making it better for racing) so you don’t have to do the weird movements to go from gear to gear, like you’re shifting through a maze, you can just shift straight from 2 to 3rd for example instead of having to go into neutral first (neutral on manuals is just that extra space between gears). The quick release wheel is a type of steering wheel that can be physically removed from the steering column with the press of a button. This is so that, if you crash and need to get out of the car quickly because it’s caught fire or something, the steering wheel would be your main obstruction from getting out quickly (most race cars are designed to not have doors, so the window is the escape they’re designing for), so you just pop it off, chuck it off to the side and get the hell out before you burn to death. All three of those things installed in someone’s car is a telltale sign that that person is, at the very least, a wannabe racer.
One important step up in difficulty of heat level 4 over 3 is the addition of spike strips to road blocks. Hit one and it may as well be an instant loss.
@@aristosachaion_ in level 4 that would require more things to make it work. 1 Not having 10+ cops around or a chopper 2 Not being in the city or places where you can't get to high speed 3 Having something to destroy police cars If those are not met you will usually get caught having only 2 tires. You experience may vary
Funny enough, while in MW hitting a soike strip was almost guaranteed doom, in Carbon its effects were lessened and it just slowed you down but you still stood a chance.
@@kazefw3834 that's why I started using the speedbreaker just before hitting a pursuit breaker. The thing did it's job with or without the cutscene and I had a few experience where my car had already rolled over a spike before it ended.
I finally have closure with the ending of this game. When I played it in 2006 I could never beat the game because I got all the way up to the last race against Razor and I beat him and then my game would freeze every single time. So I eventually gave up and never bothered to revisit or see the ending. Great video
At which part it froze? My PS2 version crashed when I’ve beat Razor (photo made from car..) and then it froze and my TV made a buzzing sound. I let it on for 2 hours and it still was in the same frozen state.. called to EA at the time (2007..) and they couldn’t do something about this glitch / errror.. I was really pissed of as a 10 year old kiddo..
Broooo, this has always happened to me too! Right after I beat Razor, the game freezes, and I can't continue to the final chase of the game. I have the Most Wanted Black Edition on PS2 if this information helps.
lmaooo this happened to me too, i had the og xbox version and i chalked it up to my disc being scratched or something, never thought other people had the same problem
This game was so special!! I remember playing it with my best friend and seeing who could get the higher bounty and escape! This will always be my favourite driving game of all time and the soundtrack was incredible 🔥
And dont forget about restarting the story like 15 times, trying to take different cars and then ending up with kind of the same. Or crashing the game if you didnt get the blacklistcar in order to get it next time 😂
Dude I remember fighting Lv5 cops and if I remember correctly I ran over spike strip "I'm fucked I'm fucked" middle school me was thinking. But lady luck kicked in and there was this entrance way where one of the radio towers was. It wasn't a hiding spot but Holy Christ did it work. The really scary part was that a Corvette cruiser was right behind the wall I was hiding in. O.O
I'm not a big "Family Guy" fan, but I love the way that, once in a while, the show will go into excruciating detail to make a humorous observation about something that everyone does but no one thinks about. I'd like to get on that level.
@zzzvain2876 Heat is better imo and his. By the sound of the guy, he's around my age. With the rose tinted glasses off, Heat is better. It isn't tedious, has a better color pallet, and replayability. MW does have great physics and pursuit breakers. What kills MW is the ai rubberbanding for me.
One of my all time favorite games. I've only played it on a laptop and i actually liked that the game is so long and hard to finish every race possible. That makes it so much more satisfying when you compleat every race. Thank you for this nostalgic video of my childhood, i love what you do and keep it going! Peace
This brings back nostalgia. I love this game so much, played it so much. Completed it with 100% progress 3 times and just the story a few more times. And that slowing down time thing, i didn't know until a couple years ago, so when i played the game I'd just have to figure out where the spikes are and dodge them at that speed. I feel there is an order to the pinkslips. If one appears at the 1st marker, the next few will be at the same spot and then move on to the 2nd spot, you'd just have to figure out the starting spot every few times.
Coming from someone who knows speedrunnning strategies: Get an Underground 2 save file, that will give you extra cash to buy Golf in the beginning. This car, fully upgraded, gets only beaten by Carrera GT - unlocked at the end of the game Lotus Elise - much harder to do cop chases with, but very fast in races Punto - is actually slower in early game and worse for cop chases Use speedbreaker when hitting things - it also increases your mass, so you loose less velocity. (applies to both traffic and police) For cop chases, the beginning area near your first hideout is the best, because it has few cool cooldown spots and is dense with roads, so more chance of getting a roadblock. Heat level is your friend - you can do all the necessary milestones for every blacklist member in under 7 minutes. In speedruns Razor part takes under 2 minutes! Always tune your aero +5. It is a good advice to always get one junkman performance part when you choose 2 cards after beating BL member. Gearbox upgrade doesn't make you accelerate faster, it changes the gear ratio making you actually accelerate slower, while having higher top speed. Fun fact: you can modify your savefile to use traffic cars in career, like the pizza or garbage truck. And I think it was possible to finish the game just in the first one. Fun fact 2: it is possible to finish the game in stock starter car.
holy omg dude i got this in my recommended just now and literally my jaw DROPPED when i checked how many subs you had bc i legit thought this was from some channel with at LEAST like 5 digit subs like i legit watched the whole video and loved it, def am subbed now and excited for the future of ur channel bc it's a crime if u don't grow with vids like these lmao
Honestly I tend to avoid most NFS retrospectives cos you can just tell the dude started with Most Wanted 05 and then completely ignores the issues of the game cos of nostalgia. It does a greater disservice, as it leads people who didn't play it as a kid, like me, to be utterly disappointed when it isn't the world changing game everyone hypes it up to be The only ones I've seen that don't fall into this trap is this video and Raycevicks.
It is a pretty great NFS but it has numerous issues, from asinine rubberbanding through tedium (I tend to check out around blacklist 6, because it gets so repetitive and at that point you already have most cars/upgrades you were aiming for anyway) to game engine issues (might be matter of platform, I played on PS2 and can't count the number of times I almost threw the console out the window because I'd be speeding through corners and my car suddenly flips because it got caught on some invisible edge of a building extending way further than it should). Still, the adrenaline during long heat 5 chases is out of this world.
This game is just silly, stupid fun and it knows it. It delivered the most absurd, over-the-top, ridiculous presentation that, in a weird way, doesn't age because it's so earnest about it. If anything, there were memes about "FIVE GRAAAND" and "EVERYONE!!!" before memes were a thing. When you look at the landscape of racing games today, there's nothing else like it and it's only made it more popular. It's not trying to be a boring racing simulator. It instead wrecking balls your screen with cringey dialogue, hilarious characters and over-acting that -- yeah they're stupid -- but they stick with you because they weren't fake about it.
Your comedy plus the quality of the video got you a sub. I watched this yesterday and came back to your channel to see if you had more. Keep up the good work my dude!
You forgot to mention in this video that there is an exploit so that you can literally make your pursuit last for more that 10 minutes. It's in the ramp near the bus station, you literally just park your car in the end of it and no police will get close to you, you won't evade then nor will you get busted and you also won't lose the heat to.
Reason he mentions the gauges wheel and shifter is because theyre modified replacements. Also no it doesnt have cup holders. The m3 gtr thats in this game if you get the small glimpse inside when races start show its full on race car

Ok i just have to say... I loved the video, and as i was finishing watching it i thought to myself "I would love to see him do a NFS Carbon video" and then i realize you uploaded exactly that 17 hours ago... That made my day.
13:33 to be fair that money that you have is not a loan, you win it in the first 3 races of the prologue. When she says 'I owe you one' she is talking about helping finding a suitable car for the money that you have, not actually giving you one
Something I always wondered about the game was blacklister number 4, Vega. The game makes it sound like Razor played a part in Ronnie and Bull ranking as third and second, which would leave Vega as the original first place before Razor got our car. Is there any lore on the character or something? I always wanted to know what his deal was.
me too. even in JV's bio its said "i dont know how he does it man", safe bet is lore-wise he is hella talented behind the wheel and was probably no1 before razor.
@@ididntmeantoshootthatvietn5012 hell yes. everything about his entrance is just top notch. the sinister music, him slowly coming out of the horizon and especially the fact you're facing each other at the start.
@@Hdx64 well considering you get more money if you have nfs underground 2, logically it would imply you are the same character, so basically you already are a god behind the wheel. which also makes sense on how even when you are at 0 with a cheap car, you still are able to get to 1 and beat him despite the fact that now he has the M3 and even upgraded it. so in reality who is all ride if the character can beat him in a golf.
This game along with my father bying me Linkin Parks Hybrid Theory is hands down the reason why I'm such a metalhead today, that soundtrack just slaps so hard. Like nothing beats the feeling of gunning down the highway at mach fuck while Bullet For My Valentine's Hand of Blood comes on
Just like to make a small correction, unless you're playing Undercover and Carbon if your car gets impounded you *CAN* get it back after doing enough races and paying a release fee.
If I remember correctly, everytime you unlock the next section of the map, alot of the races will take place around there, and your Safehouse always moves. I liked it because your initial safehouse is in the smaller town section with the donut shops and the baseball field, but eventually, your safehouse is in Downtown Rockport and all your racing is taking place around there. You'll eventually be on freerome and will find yourself back in the original town you started off in, and you'll just be like "I remember this place". Maybe my memory is off but I can remember going through like 4 blacklist racers in a row, and never returning to my original safehouse.
You mentioned at the end, that whatever I was working on while listening to this video, you hoped it comes out great. Thank you, I really do, I was cooking for my date and it really came out greater that I could imagine. Love your videos. Keep up the great work.
I loved this, perfect amount of "news reporter" voice and funny lines. Nice to race down memory lane as well. NFS Underground 2, Pro Street and Heat are my favourites, really wish the would remaster NFS U2 and not change a single thing
When I played this as a kid, I didn't understand the heat level.. I thought "Higher means better" so I quickly raised heat to 5 and then finished whole game just with Lexus IS 300 (The cheapest car).. and without that slow motion thing, because I didn't even know it was there :D :D Good old times.. I really don't know how I was able to play that game like that .. But I loved every second of it, including cutscenes :D Good video mate, brings a lot of memories
Mia tells you to wait for him to shift first is a nod of Razor inestability and how he would crash into you from the start if you challenge him head on, instead you should wait for your chance to strike
To say that Carbon is a better game than MW 2005 is a big reach. It had the up in some details like customization, and perhaps texture (although that's debatable), but almost everything else is in MW's favor. The map, the choice of cars (since Carbon has a limited number of cars you can really use in end game, in MW you can essentially win the game with any car tuned to the max), the soundtrack, the progression (which is tied to the cars) and the economy (for it being a short game, it had few events and I always needed to grind already played races to buy have a few more choices in cars). You can say "but Carbon had canyon races and drift instead of drag". First off, why not do an Undergrund and have both, and second of all, the canyon races are broken in that the only sensible choice you make is tuner cars. So you have to limit yourself even more in terms of car choices.
I personally like carbon map the most it is so well done and the shortcuts are rightly placed, had the least problems driving in this game, also it is very fun driving on the map with all that it just feels so fast
@@radasvidea5909 I mean I can dig that, cause All of the Districts in the game were made for a specific type of car: Downtown with narrow and sharp turns, Kempton with the big stretches of straights or very wide turns, Fortuna with the long high-speed technical turns and Silverton with the most bonkers turns for the skilled ones. But for me, the MW map is better simply in the terrain variety, in the size (size means a bigger number of races can be made) and the roads were WAY more intertwined than anywhere else, except UG2 perhaps. But both were made well for the "physics" of the cars sooo, above that the map is a choice of preference I think. But I don't hate your opinion, cuz it IS fun.
@@bimmer8602 get the battle royale mod, the name is kinda weird for it, it just unlocks all content from the game files and make it playable, so it turns carbon which is a 4ish hour game into a 10 hour one
I just want to say for a channel that was just created recently you're getting insanely good viewership at least on your last 2 videos but overall hasn't been that bad and you put a lot of time and effort into your videos which is also commendable keep up the great work and I'm sure your channel will blow up eventually and if not it could be a fun little side project that you do just to have some fun.
Even if most of the challenges sucked, the cop chase challenges were at least useful for starting a chase from a particular location when you just want to play with the cops. I usually used the one that starts on the road that goes from the final chase's bridge jump intersection towards the donut shop because it gives easy access to both the freeway and the streets of inner Rosewood.
I recently played this game for the first time. By far the most fun racing game I’ve played. By the end of the game you FEEL like a most wanted. That’s what made it so special for me.
Thank you for making this video! I was so addicted to this particular subtitle of NFS back in my elementary days that I actually ground through the entire career mode 3 times😂.
Ironic you'd say Underground 2 is probably better and then immediately complain about tedium in MW. You must have completely forgotten about Underground Racing League races, or the fact that you have to drive to every single race and to every one of the three types of customization shop. It's understandable you'd block that out, it was not something you want to remember.
when that guy says "well, look what the underground brought in" or whatever, i believe thats game confirming that mf05 is a sequel of sorts to underground 2
Playing this on the PS2 just made me love this game so much and it will always be in my heart and memories. When I was 18, I played this on the Xbox 360, it’s so much different and the graphics improves over the PS2! I wish I still have the game and just play it over again and again. 💕
Ah, at last I found someone who kinda did enjoy some aspects of this game, but like me found the length and the cutscenes really ridiculous to be praised again and again in the NFS community ! Subscribed because the video was to the point, elaborate regarding the topic and funny as well :D
@@TheCapitalWanderer actually just the one and the delivery. The funny cringe came from bad delivery of some lines but the overall product was quite nice
@@damongambuti yep. I still wonder why Black Box gave us a game with a Fiat Punto, Renault Clio V6 and three Audis with the exact same engine. I'd have preferred the 350Z, R34 GTR, etc. I guess licensing was an issue.
@@Reaper_03-01 i mean the sounds for those cars (skyline and r34) were in the files from UG2 so they would’ve been put in but yeah, licensing glad they made it back into carbon
Something I noticed recently in soeedbreaker, is you have full, precise control over your tires. The game doesn’t turn the tires more or less, it’s directly tied to the stick. It makes taking 90 degree concerts and coming out at 120 alot easier
Unlike you said at the end of the video, I didn't have this on background to listen, but watch it actively & God! I loved it. You had me in peals of laughter right from start to finish. Glad to have found you. As for your advice on save scum tactics, you might as well have used Extra Options from the mod community. I ran into it because I wanted subtitles, but that mod has extras like crazy. Auto driving, Carbon like behaviour on tire-popping, replay Blacklist races & much more. There was one option which you could have exercised, & that is, if you want all pink slips, just edit the file on having default markers from 2 to 6! Boom! I was experimenting & it was great fun. There are some similar thoughts we share. Cobalt SS, Lamborghini Gallardo, Tollbooths being favourite ... okay. And what you said at the end of the video of this game having tedium, I wholeheartedly agree, except that I call it grind. Someone on his retrospective commented about how this game has circuit races of 4 laps! Seriously, on my recent playthrough, I avoided them like a plague. This is my second favourite Need For Speed after The Run. And I would like to hear your thoughts on why you find other Need For Speeds like Pro Street & others you mentioned better than this game. Keep up the good work, & I'll look forward to more videos from you in the future ...
Did you use an old script or something for the subtitles / closed captions? Very distracting that the words are wrong & some don't line up even with the video.
The fact that EA is not remastering this game, or even bothering to listen to the fans is a shame itself. So much potential, it will resurrect the NFS community, but of course EA is always profits over quality sadly.
A remaster of any of these games would be a sales flop. This game has aged (quite badly I might add), and It couldn't be released today without huge compromises and prob pissing off the fanboys cuz it wouldn't be the same Game. If you want a remaster, just mod It. There's pmuch unlimited modding support for these games.
@@997tt7 I agree, but if they just listen to the fans for atleast once, it will definitely work, they should just renew the graphics and keep everything the same, add a brand new graphics engine that’s all everyone’s asking for, not just for this but for underground series as well, they should make underground 3 while they are at it, most of nfs community has been asking ea to make another underground
@@ElementalWarrior1999 that as I said wouldn't work and they wouldn't do it (look at hpr). Also, not even the fans know what they want. They can't listen to the fans because nfs is such an inconsistent saga that there are a lot of different opinions on what a nfs is. Understand that graphics isn't the only thing that has aged in these games. World design, gameplay, car roster and customization are all things that should be updated. Then again, It wouldn't be the same game, and people wouldn't like It either. A remaster/remake of these games is a stupid idea and I'm glad It wont ever happen. Nfs fans don't want a mw remaster, or next ug game. They want something good and memorable, like what these 2000's games were when they released.
@@997tt7 but still knowing EA if they remastered it, they would most likely ruin it, and would’ve been rushed in development, profits over quality as always smh
Man that’s one of the best videos about this game i have ever seen, your content is easily one of the best out there and deserves way more recognition 🙌🏻 keep up the grind, +1
I Recently bought the NFS Unbound, played it for like a day, hated it, made me miss these old NFS games so now I'm currently playing Underground 2. This game was so ahead of it's time. Man I miss the old NFS.
Did you ever mess around with the tuning options in the menu? To change around some values of how the car handles, airfoil angle, etc. I remember having a lot of fun tuning the cars with that.
If I recall correctly, the pink slip markers are always in the same location. So instead of resetting the game and guessing again, simply look up the location of where each pink slip marker is located.
I thought they were always to the right from the previous one. For example, with Sonny it was the second hidden marker, for Taz it would be the third, then the first marker and so on and so forth. It's been a long while but I remember something along those lines
@@GHGxJonnyxGHG yes that’s how it works, but there’s a twist: saving the game randomizes the slips for the next boss. So, if you want to collect every blacklist car without RNG and ALT+F4, you have to do it in 1 go
Nope, it's always randomized. I had to do the JV race over 10 times because the marker would always be in the different place and I just had too much pride to let that bastard have his car. I got in on my 13th or 14th goddamn try. Didn't even use it once. It just gathered dust in my garage with all the other 14 boss cars.
Honestly the thing that makes this game magical and nostalgic is basically everything in this game. From the cringe dialogue to the arcade-y handling. Put to top the cliche story progression in which puts you from rags to riches and each Blacklist driver being a boss battle. Most Wanted 2005 alongside Heat are my top Need For Speed games.
"Gages,Shifter,Wheel" Cross pointed out those things in the BMW because inside the car looks nothing like a regular car. it looks more like a race car than a street car.
Okay, I have to say that this is an absolute work of art from EA Black Box, I've played it a total of 5 times since I got my gaming PC in summer of 2021, this is now my 6th time, and I'm never getting bored of the game, at all, nor will I ever be in the future, way better than anything before or after it, no doubt about it, this one was really knocked out of the park!
@@MichaelZiemba Yeah, it's sad that that they're no longer around, but all good things must come to an end, you know, except EA just suddenly killed them off, out of nowhere, for no reason, what the f*ck, and for just one unsatisfactory game (a.k.a. The Run), what babies. I honestly don't know what happened to the NFS franchise, ever since the demise of EA Black Box, SMH, what are they thinking, nowadays?
Doesn't the Redux mod add/replace cars in the game? This is why I always avoided it as I just wanted the visual improvements with zero changes to the game itself.
6:21 In the first race against Ronny, he doesn't have the DB9 yet, instead he's driving a Toyota Supra.
Edit: Fun fact: Mings Gallardo has ultimate parts installed, except for the nitrous, which you unlock by beating him.
Well, thats probably why many bets the game while using that gallardo
@@sancheziumbruh8809 True. Because it has upgrades one would normally be unable to obtain before beating Blacklist 3, Ronny. At least that's true for the turbo and the engine upgrades.
I got banned from kurus online mod because I used that car that I unlocked.
I got thr gallardo on a pinkslip and wanted to upgrade it and saw it was almost fully tuned out so i was like "i guess i can spend the money to upgrade supra and carrera s"

The reason of this game being so special is the handling, it's by far the best and most fun handling in any NFS game. I'd love to EA come back for something like this, i hate the handling on the new games, i believe that's why Forza Horizon is tearing up everything on the scene, just because is freaking fun to drive around.
The handling plus the fact it brought back the supers and exotics vs cops from the classic NFS games

@@exequielpomilio8558 ikr
While the sense of speed isn't as good as I'd want it to be on horizon, i still very much enjoy the handling and the games as a whole
Actually I took it as the cop was 'complimenting' the car's wheels, shifter, and gauges because they were likely custom designed and flashy, rather than him just being awed by the fact the car possessed things.
6:19 Ahh yes, the Toyota Aston martin Supra Mk4 Db9.
Bro he called the last chase "nonsense" that was like the most epic moment of ourselves, we get the feeling that we truly are the most wanted....

But just to clarify as a car guy, at 4:25 he's referring to the aftermarket wheel, sequential gearbox and added gauges to monitor temps, boost etc. Hence he says if it's for show, or if there is more to know about as in illegal modifications, I get the the comedic effect you were going for, but yeah that made complete sense actually :)
Yeah after I heard him say all that I just had to go down to the comments, something triggered inside me for no reason😭
Cross is trying to say it has race gauges, a short shifter, and a quick release wheel, all of which are used in race cars. The race gauges tell you your fluid pressure levels for your fuel, your oil, and your coolant. Granted, modern car infotainment systems can generally do all that nowadays but back then you had to install that stuff aftermarket. The short shifter for manual cars (which are generally considered better overall because they have better transmission lifetimes and allow you to control better how much power and torque is going to the wheels at any given time, making it better for racing) so you don’t have to do the weird movements to go from gear to gear, like you’re shifting through a maze, you can just shift straight from 2 to 3rd for example instead of having to go into neutral first (neutral on manuals is just that extra space between gears). The quick release wheel is a type of steering wheel that can be physically removed from the steering column with the press of a button. This is so that, if you crash and need to get out of the car quickly because it’s caught fire or something, the steering wheel would be your main obstruction from getting out quickly (most race cars are designed to not have doors, so the window is the escape they’re designing for), so you just pop it off, chuck it off to the side and get the hell out before you burn to death. All three of those things installed in someone’s car is a telltale sign that that person is, at the very least, a wannabe racer.
I'm way too brickheaded to understand any of this but I love seeing a things' nerds -nerding out- educating
One important step up in difficulty of heat level 4 over 3 is the addition of spike strips to road blocks. Hit one and it may as well be an instant loss.
That's not always the case. If you manage to get at most 2 of your tyres blown, you still have a shot at getting away.
@@aristosachaion_ in level 4 that would require more things to make it work.
1 Not having 10+ cops around or a chopper
2 Not being in the city or places where you can't get to high speed
3 Having something to destroy police cars
If those are not met you will usually get caught having only 2 tires. You experience may vary
The fact that the AI sometimes self drive your car into the spikes after you hit the pursuit breaker makes it worse 🤣🤣
Funny enough, while in MW hitting a soike strip was almost guaranteed doom, in Carbon its effects were lessened and it just slowed you down but you still stood a chance.
@@kazefw3834 that's why I started using the speedbreaker just before hitting a pursuit breaker. The thing did it's job with or without the cutscene and I had a few experience where my car had already rolled over a spike before it ended.
The in between scenes are what makes this game so beautiful 😄
I finally have closure with the ending of this game. When I played it in 2006 I could never beat the game because I got all the way up to the last race against Razor and I beat him and then my game would freeze every single time. So I eventually gave up and never bothered to revisit or see the ending. Great video
At which part it froze? My PS2 version crashed when I’ve beat Razor (photo made from car..) and then it froze and my TV made a buzzing sound. I let it on for 2 hours and it still was in the same frozen state.. called to EA at the time (2007..) and they couldn’t do something about this glitch / errror.. I was really pissed of as a 10 year old kiddo..
@@OfficialHardstylezDJ Yea it was always right after I beat him it would freeze and I would have ro restart my Xbox
Broooo, this has always happened to me too! Right after I beat Razor, the game freezes, and I can't continue to the final chase of the game. I have the Most Wanted Black Edition on PS2 if this information helps.
lmaooo this happened to me too, i had the og xbox version and i chalked it up to my disc being scratched or something, never thought other people had the same problem

Yes officer cross, this car is stock and it came with a turbo and pinstripes
This game was so special!!
I remember playing it with my best friend and seeing who could get the higher bounty and escape!
This will always be my favourite driving game of all time and the soundtrack was incredible 🔥
You said a mouth full
Mine too 🥹

And dont forget about restarting the story like 15 times, trying to take different cars and then ending up with kind of the same. Or crashing the game if you didnt get the blacklistcar in order to get it next time 😂
Dude I remember fighting Lv5 cops and if I remember correctly I ran over spike strip "I'm fucked I'm fucked" middle school me was thinking. But lady luck kicked in and there was this entrance way where one of the radio towers was. It wasn't a hiding spot but Holy Christ did it work. The really scary part was that a Corvette cruiser was right behind the wall I was hiding in. O.O
I love how most people play this game the exact way he’s explaining it 😂
I'm not a big "Family Guy" fan, but I love the way that, once in a while, the show will go into excruciating detail to make a humorous observation about something that everyone does but no one thinks about. I'd like to get on that level.
@@mitchelldiedrich Why are you talking about the family guy?
@@ERTChimpanzee why not?
@@mitchelldiedrich DUDE U JUST SAID NFS HEAT IS BETTER THAN THIS ?? I PITY U
@zzzvain2876 Heat is better imo and his. By the sound of the guy, he's around my age. With the rose tinted glasses off, Heat is better. It isn't tedious, has a better color pallet, and replayability. MW does have great physics and pursuit breakers. What kills MW is the ai rubberbanding for me.
One of my all time favorite games. I've only played it on a laptop and i actually liked that the game is so long and hard to finish every race possible. That makes it so much more satisfying when you compleat every race. Thank you for this nostalgic video of my childhood, i love what you do and keep it going! Peace
On which laptop did you play it ? I gotta MacBook and don’t think it can run it :(((
Thank you Blackbox. You are soley responsible for the golden age of nfs games.
Fun fact New Braunfels Police Department in Texas has that exact Corvette on their force and it makes over 1000hp
"Looks like your racing days are over" dude. I'll just buy another car. Wtf
Love the Gary Oldman reference there from Leon the Professional. "Everyone?" " EVERYONE!!!!"
This brings back nostalgia. I love this game so much, played it so much. Completed it with 100% progress 3 times and just the story a few more times. And that slowing down time thing, i didn't know until a couple years ago, so when i played the game I'd just have to figure out where the spikes are and dodge them at that speed.
I feel there is an order to the pinkslips. If one appears at the 1st marker, the next few will be at the same spot and then move on to the 2nd spot, you'd just have to figure out the starting spot every few times.
NFS Heat over MW is kinda wild ngl but this video is valid keep up the good work man
Coming from someone who knows speedrunnning strategies:
Get an Underground 2 save file, that will give you extra cash to buy Golf in the beginning.
This car, fully upgraded, gets only beaten by
Carrera GT - unlocked at the end of the game
Lotus Elise - much harder to do cop chases with, but very fast in races
Punto - is actually slower in early game and worse for cop chases
Use speedbreaker when hitting things - it also increases your mass, so you loose less velocity. (applies to both traffic and police)
For cop chases, the beginning area near your first hideout is the best, because it has few cool cooldown spots and is dense with roads, so more chance of getting a roadblock.
Heat level is your friend - you can do all the necessary milestones for every blacklist member in under 7 minutes. In speedruns Razor part takes under 2 minutes!
Always tune your aero +5.
It is a good advice to always get one junkman performance part when you choose 2 cards after beating BL member.
Gearbox upgrade doesn't make you accelerate faster, it changes the gear ratio making you actually accelerate slower, while having higher top speed.
Fun fact: you can modify your savefile to use traffic cars in career, like the pizza or garbage truck. And I think it was possible to finish the game just in the first one.
Fun fact 2: it is possible to finish the game in stock starter car.
I really miss the pursuit breakers in NFS.

Hopefully they are in new nfs
holy omg dude i got this in my recommended just now and literally my jaw DROPPED when i checked how many subs you had bc i legit thought this was from some channel with at LEAST like 5 digit subs like i legit watched the whole video and loved it, def am subbed now and excited for the future of ur channel bc it's a crime if u don't grow with vids like these lmao
I appreciate a video on Most Wanted that isn’t just 100% nostalgia circlejerking. It’s a good game, but like everything in life it’s not perfect
Honestly no NFS game is perfect. Even Underground 2 has its flaws despite how great it is.
Honestly I tend to avoid most NFS retrospectives cos you can just tell the dude started with Most Wanted 05 and then completely ignores the issues of the game cos of nostalgia. It does a greater disservice, as it leads people who didn't play it as a kid, like me, to be utterly disappointed when it isn't the world changing game everyone hypes it up to be
The only ones I've seen that don't fall into this trap is this video and Raycevicks.
It is a pretty great NFS but it has numerous issues, from asinine rubberbanding through tedium (I tend to check out around blacklist 6, because it gets so repetitive and at that point you already have most cars/upgrades you were aiming for anyway) to game engine issues (might be matter of platform, I played on PS2 and can't count the number of times I almost threw the console out the window because I'd be speeding through corners and my car suddenly flips because it got caught on some invisible edge of a building extending way further than it should). Still, the adrenaline during long heat 5 chases is out of this world.
@@0uttaS1TEsame

I played this on the OG Xbox, lots of late nights playing this. Played it years later on the 360 and I can't get enough of it, even now.

Great retrospective, nostalgia kicked in a lot watching this video. Subbed!
This game is just silly, stupid fun and it knows it. It delivered the most absurd, over-the-top, ridiculous presentation that, in a weird way, doesn't age because it's so earnest about it. If anything, there were memes about "FIVE GRAAAND" and "EVERYONE!!!" before memes were a thing. When you look at the landscape of racing games today, there's nothing else like it and it's only made it more popular. It's not trying to be a boring racing simulator. It instead wrecking balls your screen with cringey dialogue, hilarious characters and over-acting that -- yeah they're stupid -- but they stick with you because they weren't fake about it.
Your comedy plus the quality of the video got you a sub. I watched this yesterday and came back to your channel to see if you had more. Keep up the good work my dude!
This video documentary is really well made! Simplistic yet really enjoyable to watch. Thank you for this! Had a nice time watching it :)
You forgot to mention in this video that there is an exploit so that you can literally make your pursuit last for more that 10 minutes. It's in the ramp near the bus station, you literally just park your car in the end of it and no police will get close to you, you won't evade then nor will you get busted and you also won't lose the heat to.
At first glance I thought someone reuploaded Lucas Raycevick’s MW retrospective. This is really well done, sir. GG ❤
Raycevick's video is still up
I don't know what the hell you was smoking but that was the best Need for Speed game ever made Most Wanted 2005
I appreciate your deadpan delivery and I found this retrospective great 🤙
Same
Damn finally some people who aren’t blinded by nostalgia
@@Enderghost25ayy, my people
Reason he mentions the gauges wheel and shifter is because theyre modified replacements. Also no it doesnt have cup holders. The m3 gtr thats in this game if you get the small glimpse inside when races start show its full on race car
Also the motor in the m3 gtr isn't street legal. Dudes driving a literal track only race car on the streets which is extremely illegal

13:33 to be fair that money that you have is not a loan, you win it in the first 3 races of the prologue. When she says 'I owe you one' she is talking about helping finding a suitable car for the money that you have, not actually giving you one
You also get more money by having a savefile of Underground 2
6:20 the guy is NOT driving an Aston Martin. Yet.
The quality of this video kept me intrigued the entire length. Keep up the awesome work man. Just gained another subscriber.
Just binged both this one and the carbon reviews..I enjoyed them and I subbed! So make more sir!
Something I always wondered about the game was blacklister number 4, Vega. The game makes it sound like Razor played a part in Ronnie and Bull ranking as third and second, which would leave Vega as the original first place before Razor got our car. Is there any lore on the character or something? I always wanted to know what his deal was.
me too. even in JV's bio its said "i dont know how he does it man", safe bet is lore-wise he is hella talented behind the wheel and was probably no1 before razor.
JV is badass man, his entrance gave me goosebumps everytime
@@ididntmeantoshootthatvietn5012 hell yes. everything about his entrance is just top notch. the sinister music, him slowly coming out of the horizon and especially the fact you're facing each other at the start.
Also Razor getting N1 on your M3 kinda proves his point that you were all ride and no substance at the start of the game😂
@@Hdx64 well considering you get more money if you have nfs underground 2, logically it would imply you are the same character, so basically you already are a god behind the wheel. which also makes sense on how even when you are at 0 with a cheap car, you still are able to get to 1 and beat him despite the fact that now he has the M3 and even upgraded it. so in reality who is all ride if the character can beat him in a golf.
This game along with my father bying me Linkin Parks Hybrid Theory is hands down the reason why I'm such a metalhead today, that soundtrack just slaps so hard. Like nothing beats the feeling of gunning down the highway at mach fuck while Bullet For My Valentine's Hand of Blood comes on
Just like to make a small correction, unless you're playing Undercover and Carbon if your car gets impounded you *CAN* get it back after doing enough races and paying a release fee.
bolt on wonder boy , we were driving an m3 gtr a literal race car , not to mention it was naturally aspirated
If I remember correctly, everytime you unlock the next section of the map, alot of the races will take place around there, and your Safehouse always moves. I liked it because your initial safehouse is in the smaller town section with the donut shops and the baseball field, but eventually, your safehouse is in Downtown Rockport and all your racing is taking place around there. You'll eventually be on freerome and will find yourself back in the original town you started off in, and you'll just be like "I remember this place". Maybe my memory is off but I can remember going through like 4 blacklist racers in a row, and never returning to my original safehouse.
Ronnie doesn't drive a DB9 in the first half of the game. He drives a Supra
Need for speed most wanted was literally my whole childhood :
Jeez
You really love car games don't you lol
@@reedrazor7546NGL same here.
feel bad for you bruh, game is mid as hell.
You mentioned at the end, that whatever I was working on while listening to this video, you hoped it comes out great.
Thank you, I really do, I was cooking for my date and it really came out greater that I could imagine.
Love your videos. Keep up the great work.
I loved this, perfect amount of "news reporter" voice and funny lines. Nice to race down memory lane as well. NFS Underground 2, Pro Street and Heat are my favourites, really wish the would remaster NFS U2 and not change a single thing
When I played this as a kid, I didn't understand the heat level.. I thought "Higher means better" so I quickly raised heat to 5 and then finished whole game just with Lexus IS 300 (The cheapest car).. and without that slow motion thing, because I didn't even know it was there :D :D Good old times.. I really don't know how I was able to play that game like that .. But I loved every second of it, including cutscenes :D Good video mate, brings a lot of memories
Fun fact. If you pause at 26:06 The player is actually supposed to be using an Audi A4 against Razor, if you look at the reflection of the BMW M3 GTR.
Placeholder
Really enjoying this video while I wash dishes and get the kid fed! Takes me right back. Subscribed-looking forward to your next!
6:19 DB9... OMG It's Supra!
Mia tells you to wait for him to shift first is a nod of Razor inestability and how he would crash into you from the start if you challenge him head on, instead you should wait for your chance to strike
To say that Carbon is a better game than MW 2005 is a big reach. It had the up in some details like customization, and perhaps texture (although that's debatable), but almost everything else is in MW's favor. The map, the choice of cars (since Carbon has a limited number of cars you can really use in end game, in MW you can essentially win the game with any car tuned to the max), the soundtrack, the progression (which is tied to the cars) and the economy (for it being a short game, it had few events and I always needed to grind already played races to buy have a few more choices in cars). You can say "but Carbon had canyon races and drift instead of drag". First off, why not do an Undergrund and have both, and second of all, the canyon races are broken in that the only sensible choice you make is tuner cars. So you have to limit yourself even more in terms of car choices.
Is carbon still worth playing though?
@@bimmer8602 Yes it is, if you're a fan of NFS then of course. Otherwise it's not the best...
I personally like carbon map the most it is so well done and the shortcuts are rightly placed, had the least problems driving in this game, also it is very fun driving on the map with all that it just feels so fast
@@radasvidea5909 I mean I can dig that, cause All of the Districts in the game were made for a specific type of car: Downtown with narrow and sharp turns, Kempton with the big stretches of straights or very wide turns, Fortuna with the long high-speed technical turns and Silverton with the most bonkers turns for the skilled ones.
But for me, the MW map is better simply in the terrain variety, in the size (size means a bigger number of races can be made) and the roads were WAY more intertwined than anywhere else, except UG2 perhaps. But both were made well for the "physics" of the cars sooo, above that the map is a choice of preference I think. But I don't hate your opinion, cuz it IS fun.
@@bimmer8602 get the battle royale mod, the name is kinda weird for it, it just unlocks all content from the game files and make it playable, so it turns carbon which is a 4ish hour game into a 10 hour one
A Police corvette...holy crap, police funding has gotten outta hand!
Your commentary is freaking awesome and funny as hell. Idc what anyone says in these comments you did your thing in this video. Keep going man
damn the Aston Marin looking oddly similar to a Supra, but that might be just my glasses acting up
I just want to say for a channel that was just created recently you're getting insanely good viewership at least on your last 2 videos but overall hasn't been that bad and you put a lot of time and effort into your videos which is also commendable keep up the great work and I'm sure your channel will blow up eventually and if not it could be a fun little side project that you do just to have some fun.
This is a very astute comment. (mitch is my brother)
I appreciate your kind words towards Mitch! I totally agree with what you say! Cheers!
31:14 as an artist, thank you! I needed that boost of motivation! 31:14
Even if most of the challenges sucked, the cop chase challenges were at least useful for starting a chase from a particular location when you just want to play with the cops. I usually used the one that starts on the road that goes from the final chase's bridge jump intersection towards the donut shop because it gives easy access to both the freeway and the streets of inner Rosewood.
I like the Activate Windows Notification in the Corner
I can still remember the sound of those straight cut gears
I recently played this game for the first time. By far the most fun racing game I’ve played. By the end of the game you FEEL like a most wanted. That’s what made it so special for me.
Thank you for making this video! I was so addicted to this particular subtitle of NFS back in my elementary days that I actually ground through the entire career mode 3 times😂.
Ironic you'd say Underground 2 is probably better and then immediately complain about tedium in MW. You must have completely forgotten about Underground Racing League races, or the fact that you have to drive to every single race and to every one of the three types of customization shop. It's understandable you'd block that out, it was not something you want to remember.
The intro is just hilarious! Keep the good work up. Greetings from Germany :)
when that guy says "well, look what the underground brought in" or whatever, i believe thats game confirming that mf05 is a sequel of sorts to underground 2
No, it's just a 4th wall break. That whole "most wanted and carbon are connected to Underground 1 & 2" theory has been debunked and is BS
Playing this on the PS2 just made me love this game so much and it will always be in my heart and memories. When I was 18, I played this on the Xbox 360, it’s so much different and the graphics improves over the PS2! I wish I still have the game and just play it over again and again. 💕
Ah, at last I found someone who kinda did enjoy some aspects of this game, but like me found the length and the cutscenes really ridiculous to be praised again and again in the NFS community ! Subscribed because the video was to the point, elaborate regarding the topic and funny as well :D
I wish we had these kind of cutscenes on nfs2015/heat though. Just in the dialogue sense.
@@yol_nso cringy and hilarious? the exact same one we have right now
@@TheCapitalWanderer actually just the one and the delivery. The funny cringe came from bad delivery of some lines but the overall product was quite nice
There's a bug in the game that let's you do the final chase in the same car you used against Razor instead of the M3 GTR
I also started with the Cobalt SS. It's a crying shame that it was a front wheel drive instead of a rear wheel drive car.
at least it’s the second best car (i believe) besides the golf
@@damongambuti yep. I still wonder why Black Box gave us a game with a Fiat Punto, Renault Clio V6 and three Audis with the exact same engine. I'd have preferred the 350Z, R34 GTR, etc. I guess licensing was an issue.
@@Reaper_03-01 i mean the sounds for those cars (skyline and r34) were in the files from UG2 so they would’ve been put in but yeah, licensing
glad they made it back into carbon
Something I noticed recently in soeedbreaker, is you have full, precise control over your tires. The game doesn’t turn the tires more or less, it’s directly tied to the stick. It makes taking 90 degree concerts and coming out at 120 alot easier
Unlike you said at the end of the video, I didn't have this on background to listen, but watch it actively & God! I loved it. You had me in peals of laughter right from start to finish. Glad to have found you. As for your advice on save scum tactics, you might as well have used Extra Options from the mod community. I ran into it because I wanted subtitles, but that mod has extras like crazy. Auto driving, Carbon like behaviour on tire-popping, replay Blacklist races & much more. There was one option which you could have exercised, & that is, if you want all pink slips, just edit the file on having default markers from 2 to 6! Boom! I was experimenting & it was great fun. There are some similar thoughts we share. Cobalt SS, Lamborghini Gallardo, Tollbooths being favourite ... okay. And what you said at the end of the video of this game having tedium, I wholeheartedly agree, except that I call it grind. Someone on his retrospective commented about how this game has circuit races of 4 laps! Seriously, on my recent playthrough, I avoided them like a plague. This is my second favourite Need For Speed after The Run. And I would like to hear your thoughts on why you find other Need For Speeds like Pro Street & others you mentioned better than this game. Keep up the good work, & I'll look forward to more videos from you in the future ...
Did you use an old script or something for the subtitles / closed captions? Very distracting that the words are wrong & some don't line up even with the video.
The fact that EA is not remastering this game, or even bothering to listen to the fans is a shame itself. So much potential, it will resurrect the NFS community, but of course EA is always profits over quality sadly.
A remaster of any of these games would be a sales flop. This game has aged (quite badly I might add), and It couldn't be released today without huge compromises and prob pissing off the fanboys cuz it wouldn't be the same Game.
If you want a remaster, just mod It. There's pmuch unlimited modding support for these games.
@@997tt7 I agree, but if they just listen to the fans for atleast once, it will definitely work, they should just renew the graphics and keep everything the same, add a brand new graphics engine that’s all everyone’s asking for, not just for this but for underground series as well, they should make underground 3 while they are at it, most of nfs community has been asking ea to make another underground
@@ElementalWarrior1999 that as I said wouldn't work and they wouldn't do it (look at hpr). Also, not even the fans know what they want. They can't listen to the fans because nfs is such an inconsistent saga that there are a lot of different opinions on what a nfs is.
Understand that graphics isn't the only thing that has aged in these games. World design, gameplay, car roster and customization are all things that should be updated. Then again, It wouldn't be the same game, and people wouldn't like It either.
A remaster/remake of these games is a stupid idea and I'm glad It wont ever happen.
Nfs fans don't want a mw remaster, or next ug game. They want something good and memorable, like what these 2000's games were when they released.
@@997tt7 but still knowing EA if they remastered it, they would most likely ruin it, and would’ve been rushed in development, profits over quality as always smh
damn i thought i was watching a big youtuber . you deserve more brother
Man that’s one of the best videos about this game i have ever seen, your content is easily one of the best out there and deserves way more recognition 🙌🏻 keep up the grind, +1
I Recently bought the NFS Unbound, played it for like a day, hated it, made me miss these old NFS games so now I'm currently playing Underground 2. This game was so ahead of it's time. Man I miss the old NFS.
You realize how cringy the cutscenes really were when you’re an adult 😂
Did you ever mess around with the tuning options in the menu? To change around some values of how the car handles, airfoil angle, etc.
I remember having a lot of fun tuning the cars with that.
Took me like 3 years that tab even existed in the options
If I recall correctly, the pink slip markers are always in the same location. So instead of resetting the game and guessing again, simply look up the location of where each pink slip marker is located.
I thought they were always to the right from the previous one. For example, with Sonny it was the second hidden marker, for Taz it would be the third, then the first marker and so on and so forth. It's been a long while but I remember something along those lines
@@GHGxJonnyxGHG yes that’s how it works, but there’s a twist: saving the game randomizes the slips for the next boss.
So, if you want to collect every blacklist car without RNG and ALT+F4, you have to do it in 1 go
@@GHGxJonnyxGHG hi yes, when i was younger i accidentally discovered this and was able to get the last 6 cars with this trick
Nope, it's always randomized. I had to do the JV race over 10 times because the marker would always be in the different place and I just had too much pride to let that bastard have his car. I got in on my 13th or 14th goddamn try. Didn't even use it once. It just gathered dust in my garage with all the other 14 boss cars.
only thing hated about this game is save file bug...
where you can't progress your game anymore
Honestly the thing that makes this game magical and nostalgic is basically everything in this game. From the cringe dialogue to the arcade-y handling. Put to top the cliche story progression in which puts you from rags to riches and each Blacklist driver being a boss battle. Most Wanted 2005 alongside Heat are my top Need For Speed games.
The Gameplay: 100 - The Dialogue and Cutscenes: -100 lmao It's amazing how much incredibly solid gameplay can sell a game
"Gages,Shifter,Wheel" Cross pointed out those things in the BMW because inside the car looks nothing like a regular car. it looks more like a race car than a street car.
Because it is the race car

Okay, I have to say that this is an absolute work of art from EA Black Box, I've played it a total of 5 times since I got my gaming PC in summer of 2021, this is now my 6th time, and I'm never getting bored of the game, at all, nor will I ever be in the future, way better than anything before or after it, no doubt about it, this one was really knocked out of the park!
Unfortunately EA Blackbox is no longer around. Need For Speed hasn't been the same since
@@MichaelZiemba Yeah, it's sad that that they're no longer around, but all good things must come to an end, you know, except EA just suddenly killed them off, out of nowhere, for no reason, what the f*ck, and for just one unsatisfactory game (a.k.a. The Run), what babies. I honestly don't know what happened to the NFS franchise, ever since the demise of EA Black Box, SMH, what are they thinking, nowadays?
Doesn't the Redux mod add/replace cars in the game? This is why I always avoided it as I just wanted the visual improvements with zero changes to the game itself.
0:44, yeah, the graphics look terrible when you purposely set everything to the lowest detail.
31:08 you got me there. And also: thank you. Good review.
