Forums - Nintendo Discussion - A biased review: Need for Speed Most Wanted U

Took me forever to get into it. I enjoyed the traditional games where you are racing down a track with a few branching paths and the cops are chasing you. But once theybrought to the city I lost interest.

It is too bad that you finally decide to try some Wii U third party and this is what you try.

I would give it a 6. Nothing really wrong with it, just not fun.

Thanks EA!

Where is sethnintendo when we need him?

I'm right here.  I actually broke my over decade long boycott of EA games by purchasing this game.   I did so after Criterion was shutdown.  I've only put about 3-4 hours into the game but I have enjoyed it for the most part.  I have been playing Burnout 2 on GC recently and have to say I enjoy that game more.  I'd probably rate NFS:MWU a 7 out of 10 with my experience with the game so far.  I agree with Rol that there are better arcade drifting games out there.  I believe I payed around 20 dollars for a new copy off Amazon so if I play 20-25 hours total and have fun then it was worth breaking my boycott.  Just a shame that a game like Burnout 2 on GCN can be more fun.  Perhaps I'll buy another EA game by 2015.

I wouldn't go that far. Why so harsh? So I broke my boycott because I wanted to buy the last Criterion game ever made. They shut them down and stated there would be no more support for the Wii U from them. I only felt like it was fitting to do so. I didn't buy any of their half ass ports like Madden, FIFA, or the ME3 when they should have done trilogy. I bought a game that Criterion was pretty much sent out to the pasture to be put down. Don't worry I don't have any plans on buying another EA game for a very long time.

I'd say my Sony boycott is still going strong after 17+ years of not buying a single Sony product (headphones, TV, anything). I never had to start a Microsoft one because I never bought any of their products in the first place.
