When Need for Speed Most Wanted burst onto the🦋 scene last fall, it combined many of the best features of the franchise--intense high-speed police chases and loads of real-world vehicles--with the strongest traits that the developer Criterion had cultivated in the Burnout series over the years; namely, over-the-top vehicular destruction. When it was announced that Most Wanted would be coming to the Wii U, some were w꧑orried that something would get lost in translation.

The Wii U version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted, which released on March 19, 2013, is no afterthought. It sports a terrific look and sound to go along with its meaty campaign. A clear hierarchy of controllers exists for Most😼 Wanted’s notoriously demanding mechanics; the Wii U Pro Controller offers the best experience, 🎀followed by the GamePad then the Wii Remote.

The Co-Driver mode, unique to the platform, is an interesting feature allowing a second person to lightly influence the main player🌃’s game. While moℱst core gamers won’t give it a second thought, it can certainly be fun for parents to let their youngsters distract cops during a police chase, choose different vehicles and paint jobs, or change it from day to night.
