To start off this review I'm just going to say this if you want to play nfs most wanted, do it on a home console, here's why.
the graphics here are a mixed bag for me.
while they are in no way good looking I do have to admire the power they are squeezing out of the gba. However while I do admire the tech side of getting 3d on gba, it just doesn't work here. The game looks like a ps1 game in the alpha stage. The textures are bad, the sceans repeat them self's over and over. Not to mention there is just nothing interesting to look at. Every thing is grey, green, or blue. What they should of done is do a 2d racer in a snes Mario kart way. Not true 3d but still have a sense of depth and looked good for its time.
the sound in this game is trash. Most of the time all you get is a basic beat with an annoying 16bit "music" loop. Don't get me wrong, music in the 16bit era could be awesome. Look at Mario, sonic, and yoshis island as prime examples. This game just recycles the same 5 seconds of boring muzak over and over and over until I wanted to stick my ear in a fire ant mound.
addictiveness....realLy do I have to answer this one....fine. If your playing this on a gba and want just a quick race on the go it may serve a purpose to play there, but if your playing this as a Rom on a pc, there are simply better games on this site to play.
most importantly is the game play well to say the least it was easy enough to drive the car and each one does feel different, but the controls over all are just to loose. id try to make a minor coarse correction by just tapping on the arrow key and I found that half the time it would send me in to the wall. Bad controls aside it's just not fun to drive in this game.
over all this game get a 3 from me for the above stated reason's and while it's not action 52 bad this one still stinks
