owning a new car by finding it and unlocking upgrades by winning certain type of races was probably the worst idea they could ever make. besides that it wasnt a bad game. Graphics looks incredible even today.
The worst part about this game is that there isn’t any progression at all like there’s no point playing this game and it was incredibly rushed by EA It was supposed to be the actual sequel of MW 2005 But the multiplayer, car sounds and graphics were incredible
Bingo. It was at least fun. Give me fun over the painful attempts to be simple and realistic at the same time, which seem to be every non-Criterion NFS I've ever played. You can't be simple and realistic at the same time. Either invest in a proper physics model, like Horizon, or go for simple, like Burnout. But don't do this dog's dinner handling model that NFS Heat and The Crew have where they try and make the cars feel weighty but then give them stopping distances measured in centimetres and let Civics turn like F1 cars.
HOW THE HELL DO THEY MAKE THE HANDLING MODELS SO AWFUL IN 2015 HOW PLEASE HELP IVE JUST BEEN PLAYING AND I LITERALLY CANNOT GET MY CAR TO HANDLE LIKE A NORMAL CAR HELP
This was my first racing game other than the Mario kart series. I had no interest in it but my dad bought it for me anyway. Now it’s the game I have the best memories of and have been a loyal NFS fan since.
It's the same for me but I played most wanted 2012 hot pursuit and the rival on PS3. I played the underground 2 on my dad's playstation2 and I have so much memories with herses, IEM, police driving etc..
Even though this game didn't have a story, I had to had put hundreds of hours into this game, the online mode is so good especially competing against your friends for the most overall points
Man i remember playing the hell outta the MP. Loved the airport & the speedlists stuff. Wasnt perfect but i thought it was the last good MP NFS had. Just need a great open world map with a large player count.
The speedlists were HUGE. No NFS after 2012 had this, or hardly any multiplayer at all and its been so boring. No replayability. 2012's multiplayer was almost perfect when you lool back at it
im a 2005 baby, and this was really one of the first video games i ever played and i completed it fully so this was very nostalgic for me, i loved MW 2012 :)
My favorite game is Need For Speed 2015. I loved the vibe that was more in line with the underground series and the Tunner scene. The atmosphere that the idea was a group of friends having fun during the night seemed nice to me. A group of friends competing for fun and love of cars. The art of the game is excellent, almost realistic, but that is why there is no day in that game since it was designed to only be at night. Now, the execution was disastrous. The Frostbite game engine was at its limit, it almost never works with fast cars as they travel faster than the game can load the map. The driving system works great for slow cars, the starters. But when you have a fully upgraded car it is impossible to drive it. And that it requires permanent connection was what killed it completely. Supposedly the game was designed to make a kind of MMO, but it shows that this was not the original idea and that it was something that EA forced them to implement.
@@notoriousvillain2962 its not a good game to play as there is no progression, just beating most wanted racers is that it really ? No look at black panthaas last video of this game he said its the worse game ever as he said it is a burnout game and he is right there.
I like NFSMW2012. I've been playing racing games all my life and I never really cared about customisation in games nor in real life. I like to keep cars stock just like the manufacturers intended them to be. It would have been better if there was some progression though.
I miss the classic NFS legacy, it's quite special. As much as I like customization as well as underground and most wanted, I still love to drive the amazing sports cars stock as they rolled out of a factory and hit the road in a variety of different locations, but you can also put custom paint jobs on your vehicle, which is still awesome, I believe the classic need for speed has done something like this too.
Most manufacturers nowadays, like Nissan with NISMO, actually sell in house tuning parts for cars. They don't "intend" for people to keep them stock...unless you're Ferrari 😅 That being said, customization is personal preference. 👌🏾
10:48 looks like you shoved the traffic car into the AI, causing that takedown. I think the cops in this game are enjoyable and not that bad compare to some NFS games like 2015. Criterion’s Most Wanted cops are pretty aggressive and destructive, literally mowing down street lights, fences, city property, and traffic to stop you.
This game is still my favorite NFS game ever. I watched others play the game before I could play it myself, and it was awesome. I was young, so the idea of having every car at the start was amazing to me, and it still is now. I just play this game for the driving, its fun, and the sense of speed in this game is one of the best I've ever seen. 150mph feels fast, 100mph feels fast, and even 80mph is fast in tight tunnels or narrow streets. Also, no game comes close to the car sounds in this game and the graphics are amazing for a 2012 game. If this game wasn't titled "Most Wanted" it may have been one of the best and most loved games in the series.
This is one of my favorite entries in the series!! I remember to keep myself entertained I would just purposely have the police chase me all around the map on the highway. It was so much fun, especially when they dropped the F&F DLC for it. I’ve been dying to play it again since PS3
I had so many good memories on this game when I got my PS3. I know own a pc that I built and so happy with it I even installed this game on it as well. The nostalgia man.
love the game, could've been something different if they'd delayed the deadline and we would've gotten a great story game but I really have good memories with this game
For real it's weird seeing those comments about people being nostalgic for pretty new NFS games while I remember Porsche Unleashed and Undergrounds... Problem with Most Wanted 2012 was more in its name than game itself
Man I loved that game, it was so nice, no it didn’t have that tuning scene that we loved from older games but it was a cool game for supercar things, the car switch mechanic was cool and I loved doing big police pursuits
I just got this game on steam for 4 bucks and with modern hardware it still looks phenomenal, especially for a 360 title. Definitely worth a play if you haven't already.
I dont even have social media and I've been missing this game it for the past couple weeks. Bought it, installed a few mods and... man. Gotta say, of all the games I played, Fairhaven has to the most organic built city I have ever had the pleasure of driving through. The particles, shaders, lighting and sounds made it just great. Absolute Eye and Ear candy. Edit: The car is not a Corsa. Its a Nissan Tiida lol
This game gives a lot of nostalgia for me because I remember playing this game and my dad came home from work with those play station holdable steering wheels that he bought for me as a surprise present I enjoyed the game even further despite all it’s problems this will probably be my favorite nfs game
I liked that some of the things in the game were automated. Like the light, they auto turn on in dark and turn off in bright. 10:35 you went to FH for a moment
Pros of this game: Good DLC cars and Expansion (Most in the franchise I think) Great Car sounds and soundtrack Nice Variety of Cars(Caterham etc.) Cons of this game: Wrong Name Everything else
@@channe3049 I meant that everyone uses the Hennessey in every race otherwise it was very difficult to win. I myself used it as this was the first game that I bought every DLC. Thus it became more or less pay to win BTW I have maxed out all the cars
I actually remember this game, I was a kid and was pretty disappointed when I was unable to enter the airport area due to it being locked behind a paywall
I learned that this game isn’t completely for people. It was apart of my childhood, and I still love it. I was only 6 and this is how I got into cars. My father loved it because of how easy it was to earn new vehicles.
I think that the burnout elements, like crashes, crash cams, effects and body deformation should stay and be part of the next nfs. Maybe the shutdown element too? Mixing it with nfs heat + more updates and costant improvments will make the next nfs the best one so far in my op.
I had so much memories on the multiplayer with friends on ps3 aswell as the single player, it also introduced me to pagani, koenigsegg, & the 918 and some other cars
keep it up Theo i started watching your youtube channel a couple of years back. you all ways dont dissapoint. you are entertaining to watch and a few laughs aswell😃
The game itself isn't something big but as a "TikTok kid" I really find it nostalgic. Got Most Wanted 2012 and Rivals at the same time as bonus to my PS3 for my 10th birthday. But MW was the first I launched, so it's my first ever NFS game.
@hyperix believable and fun* i would say, miles better than 2015 or payback for me (i stopped playing those after ~2h of gameplay because of driving physics)
If only this game had been given more time. The base game was really good, if only EA gave them more time to complete the story and progression then it could have been one of the best. Hopefully the next criterion game is not like that and EA have learnt from this
The best part about this game aside from the multiplayer is the fact the dlc map was added onto the main map and added more event types as well as the sound design that shits good
The error that made this game become the most hated of the franchise is by the name, like, bro any other name and no one gets angry. It's a good game, of course a joke for the whole franchise cuz is literally Burnout, there's no customization and the progression system is the worst thing ever made, but that name was a kill condition for the game
You were definitely NOT supposed to have that many speed points off the bat. You must have had your save glitch because you were supposed to start with 0
8:17 This game has very strong rubberbanding. I beat the game thrice, I had more than enough time to notice, it makes _Gran Turismo 3: A-spec_ look like _Juiced._ Also, if you look back at the rival cars, their rubberbanding turns off. That's why sometimes you'd see a car that was behind you fly straight towards a wall right in front of you.
I’ll be honest this game actually is still one of my favourite games, I’ve played this game every single day, I had everything in this game definitely in my top 5 NFS I played
I really really like this game. Not for the mission, but like Forza Horizon, just to drive through the streets. The car sounds were incredibly good. I remember driving for hours with the SRT Viper and the Lamborghini Gallardo.
This is the game that made me want to punch whoever made crash cams in the face. Can’t tell you how many times I’d have a 10 second cam at 50mph just to respawn and instantly get another bc my car tapped another car.
I’m actually one of those people that actually loved this game. When I was young I played this game all day everyday and after I beat the game I maxed out the Agera R (btw this game made me love Koenigsegg’s). Still to this day the Agera R is still my favorite car. Agera R with Short Cut gears pro and powershot nos pro that car can literally hit 270 I think or 280 if you’re lucky
I agree the concept and lack of storyline was terrible. But the freeroam is so fun to explore! My all-time favourite free roam car gameplay. The interactive map was epic while avoiding the trap of being fully open world. The art style is very memorable as well
Every criterion game nails the engine sounds & physics in racing games...look at burnout paradise...all the car brands were fictional but they sounded so good!
NGL I grew up with this game. I loved it and am very nostalgic of it. I also love every other NFS. However I can understand the annoyance of it using the Most Wanted name but I still love it for what it is
You can't jump to the last race (maybe there's a dlc to unlock it all). You earn sp through events and need an increasing amount for each most wanted race. Personally, I love exploring and finding cars. Some are hidden really well through crazy jumps. Then you have to unlock boosts, tires, ram chassis, reinforced body, and a few other things to improve the car. It's got a great loop. If they remaster it I want roaming racers with dope liveries to track down and challenge to a head to head to unlock their livery. It would fit the freeform nature of the game and add some more customization. I'd also like undercover racer and a mod for reducing heat faster. Some of the cop chases are insanely hard! I love it but sometimes I don't want to fight for my life lol. But yes this has the best handling and car sounds in a NFS to date. The graphics are still as good as well and the mp is the best yet. Game was straight crack!
It is basically an unfinished game as EA pressed on Criterion to release the game earlier. It does have a good graphics tho, car sounds and music. It is only missing some good handling model and more car related content like some visuals. Also, the progression with the cars could have been better if the release date was later than spring 2012.
Unpopular Opinion: MW 2012 is the best modern need for speed game people only hated it because of the name and lack of customization it came with the best gameplay, physics, multiplayer, car roster, sounds, and map it also had memorable DLC and had well made intros + great tracks to race on, with multiple chaotic game modes it was very fun to play, if they named it Need For Speed Rivals it wouldn’t get nearly as much hate
@@drift_works I believe HP 2011 did it better, the handling is basically lifted from that, but it was designed around hot pursuits more flowy map, so you avoided the constant crashes. The police in the game were pretty persistant, and the health felt like it added some depth to your driving. The police mode was great and 2011 actually was similar to the games it shared its name with. I loved MW2012, but it was a mish mash of HP2011 and burnout, and while that did give it some great qualities (like multiplayer) it also did have its issues
I really will never care what anyone says, i will always have the most nostalgia for this game, and i miss it so much. The soundtrack is perfect, i have it in my library and i will forever. I think the cops while yes, easy to escape, give you enough challenge to have 4 hour long heat level 5 pursuits of destroying car after car. And going to the next point, repairing your car, i don’t think has been done better in a game. You can blast through a gas station at 200mph, get a new paint job, and get back to wrecking. In terms of getting cars on the side of the road, i don’t think Crit had customization, or proper “car progression” in mind at all, or else picking a color would be a static option. I think their main purpose in this game was this: Drive fast through a world of long arcing roads, escaping cops, running roadblocks, listening to a jamming soundtrack, jumping from car to car picking what’ll be best for a situation, and never needing to stop for any reason. Just endless driving. And i think they nailed it perfectly. I have been awaiting a remaster or something for this game, or even for it to be available as a 360 game for the Series X (since i don’t have a PC) forever, and i will continue to hold out half hope that someone flips that switch and i can go back to the place that i get all my license plates from in all need for speed games after this one.

This is the game that made me want to punch whoever made crash cams in the face. Can’t tell you how many times I’d have a 10 second cam at 50mph just to respawn and instantly get another bc my car tapped another car.
I’m actually one of those people that actually loved this game. When I was young I played this game all day everyday and after I beat the game I maxed out the Agera R (btw this game made me love Koenigsegg’s). Still to this day the Agera R is still my favorite car. Agera R with Short Cut gears pro and powershot nos pro that car can literally hit 270 I think or 280 if you’re lucky
I agree the concept and lack of storyline was terrible. But the freeroam is so fun to explore! My all-time favourite free roam car gameplay. The interactive map was epic while avoiding the trap of being fully open world. The art style is very memorable as well
>gets a save with everything unlock and millions of speed points
>why is everything unlock?! Who would like this?!
My man you loaded the save
Every criterion game nails the engine sounds & physics in racing games...look at burnout paradise...all the car brands were fictional but they sounded so good!
This game was basically burnout paradise need for speed style
omg it would actually be hysterical if you did a let's play of this game, every time you play it, you just go mental lmfao
Criterion did mw dirty im being legit
I like the crash cam, it's consequences for foolish driving then u actually have to drive well to have fun
i have confidence in spades that theo will win the head to head because arcade racers are his bread and butter
It has great DLC '77 Trans Am , '67 GT500 , '70 Charger not sure what others but I mostly drove '12 Camaro ZL1 & '11 BOSS 302 Airport DLC
NOOOO I LOVE CRITERION MY FIRST EVER NFS GAME WAS HOT PURSUIT
NGL I grew up with this game. I loved it and am very nostalgic of it. I also love every other NFS. However I can understand the annoyance of it using the Most Wanted name but I still love it for what it is
I think the reason my dad bought the Porsche 911 at 3:43 was because of the game
I like how one of the best NFS games was my first, and how one of the best Forza Motorsport games was also my first (FM4). I'm a lucky mane
Lucky you. My first Forza Motorsport was apparently the worst one (FM5) However I did play titles past FM5 and FM4
I remember when i used to play this game all day back then
You can't jump to the last race (maybe there's a dlc to unlock it all). You earn sp through events and need an increasing amount for each most wanted race. Personally, I love exploring and finding cars. Some are hidden really well through crazy jumps. Then you have to unlock boosts, tires, ram chassis, reinforced body, and a few other things to improve the car. It's got a great loop. If they remaster it I want roaming racers with dope liveries to track down and challenge to a head to head to unlock their livery. It would fit the freeform nature of the game and add some more customization. I'd also like undercover racer and a mod for reducing heat faster. Some of the cop chases are insanely hard! I love it but sometimes I don't want to fight for my life lol. But yes this has the best handling and car sounds in a NFS to date. The graphics are still as good as well and the mp is the best yet. Game was straight crack!
I loved this game so much. It's really not bad. Ppl just be hating
Facts and i loved it too
It's just no where as good as the real most wanted and that's the problem
This game is still playable and it never gets old.
His reaction to the skyline r34 being DLC 🤣
It is basically an unfinished game as EA pressed on Criterion to release the game earlier. It does have a good graphics tho, car sounds and music. It is only missing some good handling model and more car related content like some visuals. Also, the progression with the cars could have been better if the release date was later than spring 2012.
12:12 thats a Nissan Versa.
This video gives me og blackpantha vibes, and it’s hilarious!!😂😂
Enough see this 2012 game, and this Criterion develop the 2022 episode. D
Unpopular Opinion: MW 2012 is the best modern need for speed game people only hated it because of the name and lack of customization it came with the best gameplay, physics, multiplayer, car roster, sounds, and map it also had memorable DLC and had well made intros + great tracks to race on, with multiple chaotic game modes it was very fun to play, if they named it Need For Speed Rivals it wouldn’t get nearly as much hate
This opinion may be unpopular, but it's true. MW2012 is a gem, at least from gameplay and artistic perspective.
No the handling was awful, and the cops were half baked. Also the crash cams were annoying too.
@@idkneededtomakenewacc2575 stop Dream these stupid NFS underground games, this Is the best new era NFS games, is a fact
@@drift_works I believe HP 2011 did it better, the handling is basically lifted from that, but it was designed around hot pursuits more flowy map, so you avoided the constant crashes. The police in the game were pretty persistant, and the health felt like it added some depth to your driving. The police mode was great and 2011 actually was similar to the games it shared its name with. I loved MW2012, but it was a mish mash of HP2011 and burnout, and while that did give it some great qualities (like multiplayer) it also did have its issues
I'm nostalgic about it because I had it on the PS Vita. It was a really fun handheld game.
This is just Theo crashing for 15 minutes straight
Attention to Detail of this Game Was Excellent
I really will never care what anyone says, i will always have the most nostalgia for this game, and i miss it so much.
The soundtrack is perfect, i have it in my library and i will forever. I think the cops while yes, easy to escape, give you enough challenge to have 4 hour long heat level 5 pursuits of destroying car after car. And going to the next point, repairing your car, i don’t think has been done better in a game. You can blast through a gas station at 200mph, get a new paint job, and get back to wrecking. In terms of getting cars on the side of the road, i don’t think Crit had customization, or proper “car progression” in mind at all, or else picking a color would be a static option. I think their main purpose in this game was this:
Drive fast through a world of long arcing roads, escaping cops, running roadblocks, listening to a jamming soundtrack, jumping from car to car picking what’ll be best for a situation, and never needing to stop for any reason. Just endless driving.
And i think they nailed it perfectly. I have been awaiting a remaster or something for this game, or even for it to be available as a 360 game for the Series X (since i don’t have a PC) forever, and i will continue to hold out half hope that someone flips that switch and i can go back to the place that i get all my license plates from in all need for speed games after this one.
Most wanted is just nostalgic. Even the SOUNDS are nostalgic
Ironically this game has the best multiplayer NFS ever had.
