Vindication...sweet.
I gave the Nintendo DS version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted a test drive, and I must say it's a totally ass and shit looking game.
I chose the Quick Race option and found myself taking control of a 2003 red Chevy Impala (at least, that's what it looked like to me), and instead it just looked like a freakin' large and nondescript RED BOX that was floating by on the streets. WTF is up with these lazy ass and shit looking car models, EA? Goddamn, I'm supposed to be driving a car and instead I'm driving a horrible-looking and one-note colored box on the top screen! Are you kidding me, EA?
FU for also ripping off Mario Kart by having the bottom screen used as toggle for an overall positional radar and time-lapse timetable.
And FU EA again for having this game control like ass (lame braking and supposed powersliding galore? Crap.) and having tinny-ass sounds as music and sound effects.
And no, model Josie Maran in static screens screens won't save this turd. And don't bother trying to use horribly compressed "video" as FMV. Take a fuckin' clue from Konami and use a dedicated opening intro (a la Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow's awesome anime intro) to wow us with the capabilites of the Nintendo DS.
My rating = 1.0 (just to give Asphalt GT a competitive edge)
If you expect people to shell out $35 bucks for this dungheap, then I sure hope Criterion wipes your own ass with their upcoming Burnout Legends. >:
