Okay, finished. I don't know what should I say about this game. One time it's dumb, next time it's good. Just trying to point out some good and bad things.

Dumb things:
● Whoever had the idea of bringing those crashed scenes is a dumb person. Each scene lasts for about 3-4 seconds and they happen so often that at the end of the game you might see that you've seen at least an hour of them!
● What was the point of a horn in a car? Do they know what's its purpose? The dumbest traffic in the whole world is there in this very game.
● Why on earth they had to increase the music when you hit Nitro?
● I'm racing against a Veyron with a Gallarado, and a car which can go 25% faster than me couldn't defeat me. Good lord. The first time in my life I finished the final race at first try. After getting the Veyron everything is a walk in the park.
● Easiest MW/NFS I've ever played. Done in less than 9 hours, yet I wasted at least 40-45 mins roaming in the city.
● They should provide a sunglasses with the retail copy.
● Those noob cops? They shouldn't flatter themselves.
● Checkpoints? Lol! And wasn't there any darker colour available for using in the gps map?
● This game is meant for PC ( I mean the PC version )and there is a thing called Mice, which we can use!
● Two camera angles? Hmm
● I'm an illegal racer, driving a money sucking car, against the cops, trying to be the most wanted, and I don't get to use any spikes? Lol.
● Even the most costliest Flash is not as bright as this game's Speed Cam.
● As I mentioned before, at least my rig it had optimisation issues.

GOOD things:
● Races. They were very very good. The tracks were good, you'd find little excitement in them.
● Graphics were good.
● Cars, lots of good cars. I like the jackspots too.
● Sound effects. I like the engine roaring sounds. Inside the tunnels sounds were near perfect.

Now as racing should be the main objective in a racing game, well this one did cut it. But as there are many cons, I'm giving it a 5.5/10, a good racing game with below average stuffs.

Totally agree with you.
Specially the concept of horns and crashes. :angry:

I'm not joking when I say full HD on PS3. yes the game runs at full HD but I can't tell the FPS as there is no way to measure that.

Its true that some games are only 720p but NFS most wanted is 1080p for PS3

let me share the specs of two of my games for comparison
I think these games run at 50FPS as it says PAL at the back.

New to console games? Its 720p and 30fps, period.

NFS Most Wanted is a good game. The races are interesting and action packed, the graphics and sounds are great and multiplayer doesn't require me to jump through hoops.

Three things that I didn't like:

1. Car handling with keyboard is not good, even for the cars with the best control.
2. Police are a real pain, especially before you get good cars. Police really need to back off. Some times races are decided on pure luck - a police car might bash me or my opponent and the other one wins. Once you get good cars though, police don't seem to improve, except at the highest heat level.
3. No real career mode. Getting money from races and using that money to buy better cars/upgrades is the one big thing missing from this game. I love career modes in most games, so it is a big issue for me.

nice going there, random google search gave you a result which was updated in dec 2010. We are in 2013 now
It mentions issues where people having HD ready tv having issues with xmb as the tv blanked when you manually set the res to 1080p in PS3 and low res games not getting upscaled[that was a firmware issue]
PS3 runs fine on full HD TV's
I tested this on my new dell22" monitor s2240L and my old lg HD ready monitor
720p games run at 1280x720[old monitor stretched that to fit the screen and new one does the same thing] and full HD games run at native resolution of 1920x1080[native on new screen and on old monitor the FHD games run at 1080i as it supports that resolution]

New to console games? Its 720p and 30fps, period.

I bet you don't have a console. That's okay, no need to be jealous, you prolly have a much faster pc than me.

back to topic PS3 selects the the highest possible resolution supported by your tv and compares the res allowed by the game. So if your game only supports 720p then the output resolution is 720p even if your tv is 1080p native.
If you have a 720p screen but the game supports 1080p then the PS3 uses the lowest possible resolution supported by the game which would be either 1080i or 720p as most HD ready tv's support 1080i

May be i was wrong, but if i'm correct PS3 started giving HDMI since long time, which means, they should support both 720 & 1080p.

But again its upto to the game i believe.

I didn't quite get that [part in bold]
Sony developed the HDMI interface and PS3 was released with HDMI. Xbox did not have initial HDMI support but later added the same[I may be wrong here]
Its true, output resolution is game specific and its upto the devs to make it happen.

Jealous? You make up so much from one single line, lol
and yeah, I don't have a console, so my knowledge about the ps3 features is limited. But that doesn't change the fact that the MW and MAJORITY of the games these days are developed as a 720P 30fps games on the consoles, and then your console does the upscaling job depending on the screen you're playing on, 1080p or higher.
Then again..poop is poop no matter how upscaled it is

Other than the resolution, MW on PC is easily one of the best looking racers around, some cool DX11 features too. You ll need a better rig ofcourse, but it at least gives you the graphics settings to fiddle around with.

AND HEY...NOTHING BEATS THE 60FPS!!!

yeah, that's why I'm waiting for PS4
I hate all the installation woes and drm and all those settings you need to make the game look or run better on the PC.
for consoles, they optimize the game itself so the user does not have to go fiddling around with settings.
MW is the only racing game I have and I only play it online as its offline content is crap. Then again, people online are just a bunch of idiots taking down each other.
It would have been nice if they added police in online mode and actually had an online most wanted score system. Instead, they just made it burnout without bikes.

Bad news for you. Killzone shadowfall runs at 1080p but no fps boost, GG is staying with 30fps.

Understandable. Lot of people switch to consoles for the same reason.

Why don't you buy hot pursuit?

My problem still not resolved. Actually the main problem is after starting the game, the game is crashing, and a pop up with Need For Speed Most wanted stopped working is displayed.

As cyborg suggested, Reinstalled origin, doesnot solve this.

Then contacted EA, uploaded dxdiag to them.. Some of the solution they gave are.

1) Though you have updated your graphics driver, some of the driver are still not up to date, we recommend to update your driver to the latest.(Sound reasonable , so updated to 13.3 from leshcatlabs site. earlier it was 13.2).
2) Delete cookies from your default browser.( how cookies make a game stop responding? Though deleted all the cookies from all browsers. )
3) Antivirus/Firewall issue.(Stopped Norton 360 and allowed in firewall).
4) Uninstall 3rd party application. shock: , I have no idea)
5) Program Compability, Run it as administrator.(Now the irony comes, earlier i was getting Need For Speed has stopped working, Now Origin has stopped working. )

I am totally fed up.

Sorry but the last line made me laugh

From the above details, i'm clear that you are using AMD Radeon GPU & Catalyst drivers. Well its not an issue with your game or Origin.

Google : how to update the drivers of Catalyst. This will surely fix ur problem.

Yeah correct, I am using Sony Vaio Laptop VPCCB45, Graphics Card Radeon HD 6630M. The only source of updated drivers are leshcatlabs. And I updated it to 13.3

I am sure , its not about driver.

While playing i noticed that we can actually burn the tires (maybe I am late),,,,, creates nice graphic effects.

Some snaps ... :

The effects are definitely cool. Reinflatable tyres are a godsend

Finally started playing this game. As I was playing games like DiRT 3 these days, the controls and handling took a lot of getting used to. Initially was hardly able to keep the car even in straight line!
I really miss a story line..just going after Blacklist members for no apparent reason(just to become Most Wanted) feels quite dull.

Nevertheless, I'm kind of enjoying it now. Here are a few screenshots:

Why don't you play online, it much more fun. There are player meetups and once all are at the spot the race event begins. Iys quite fun to play online as you can keep on taking out other players and meet up give you a fast and furious feel.

the game looks much worse in your screenshots, there are so many details missing in it.

the screenshot thread!!

I think game related threads can be allowed for posting screenshots. moreover they are not very big and posted on 3rd party server so there is no load on the tdf server.

it is really nice game

Is there also police helicopter chasing in the game when wanted level raised to 6 ??

I didn't find such things till now .
