Most difficult race in NFS Most Wanted (2005)!

in Hive Gaming2 years ago



Hello gamers, hope you are doing well.

I am pretty confident that most of you know the Need for Speed series. It is one of my all-time favourite video game series. I have spent countless times in one specific game. As you can already see from the banner image, I am talking about the "Need for Speed: Most Wanted (NFS: MW) Black edition, it was released in 2005 if I am not mistaken.

Although I get hold of this game quite late, somewhere around 2011-12, we (me and my cousin) used to play it religiously. We would take turns completing races one by one, defending all the challengers, unlocking new cards, and customizing each card again and again.

Between NFS and Prince of Persia, I have spent an eternity playing both.

Anyways, I still have it on my PC and to no one surprise I have completed it 100%, very few games I have achieved this feat. I am not a completionist but this one to fun to miss.

I saw a youtube video where someone mentioned this game and that's how I opened and played it again. At first, I played some Sprint races from the main campaign but they were too easy for my years of experience. Although I was not as good as I used to be at controlling the cars. Each car feels different and has slightly unique handling.




I want to play the most difficult race in the game. Well, there is no one race you can say is the most difficult as different players feel different races to be difficult depending on their preference and style. But the last few races in the "challenger series" has to be considered the most difficult one in the game. As you can't choose a car, it is assigned to you and you have the make the most of it.

I selected the last "Tollbooth" race, in "Tollbooth race" you have to pass through an "x" number of tollbooths in "x" amount of time. Just see the race and you will know what I mean exactly.

I have recorded the race (sorry for the bad quality) and it was not as easy as I expected it to be. I lost the first race on only the 3rd tollbooth out of 12. I restarted and got far this time but an unfortunate accident was enough to stop me in my tracks. The third and final time I was super careful and I managed to win it easily in the end.




It was one of the longest races as well. Took me over 8 mins to finish but I had a nice buffer of +39 seconds by the end of this race...meaning I could have rested for another 38 seconds and still win it. It was much more difficult at the start of the race rather than at the end where you will get easier checkpoints.

I had a green Lamborgini in this race, it is one of the fastest cars in the game.



I would say it is one of the best games in the Need for Speed series. Although I have not played every one of those. I loved its graphics and the soundtracks, it was exciting to play. The police pursuits in this game are one of the most entertaining parts of the gameplay.

Let me know which one do you think is the most difficult race in the game.

Thanks for reading...

I remember playing this game and another one called Carbon, they are too good, when I got my first computer the first game I played was this one.

This was one of the first games for me as well. We (me and my brother) would play it for hours after coming back from school. I have played Carbon, Hot Pursuit, Nitro and one other. But Most Wanted has to be the best of them for me.

Looks like a real challenge! I haven't played Most Wanted extensively but I looks great.

It is a nice challenge, more difficult at the start of the race but it gets easier by the end.

Although I have not played another NFS after Most Wanted 2012, I feel that this has been one of the best that the franchise has been able to put out, in addition to one of those that has the most balanced customization and not so exaggerated in detail, I think that the The most difficult races would be the last ones on the black list, but not the last one as such, in addition to the milestones and the police chases where they sent you to shoot down up to almost twenty of the heaviest police trucks, a lot of action and tension at the same time haha

I did play the NFS WM 2012 and I didn't like it at all. Your car would get completly wrecked after hitting a small pole. That was disappointing, they tried to make it ultra-realistic.

The police chase were both fun and full of tense moments, evading spikes at high heat levels were one of the difficult things to do.

The most difficult races would be the last ones on the black list

I don't know I always felt like they were not so difficult, but yes, after completing it more than 4-5 times they feel easier haha.

This was one of the first racing games I ever played and I will still consider it as one of the best I've ever played. I remember this same challenge but I wasn't able to beat it after several tries.

But there was a certain challenge that my brother and I were able to beat after a lot of tries. It required you to use a Chevrolet Camaro and rack up a certain amount of bounty while on the highest heat level.

Chevrolet Camaro and rack up a certain amount of bounty while on the highest heat level.

Oh, yes... that one is the last of the "challenge race". It is one of the hardest ones for sure. There is this other one where you have to evade the police after 30 minutes. That was the one which took me the maximum tries.

I don't think I remember that one, but that one sounds really difficult. I've always disliked those kind of pursuits because it's either I escape too early or busted

Yay! 🤗

One of the best games of its time. I still remember unwrapping my GameCube copy for Christmas all those years ago. I would do wanted runs for hours on end.

I would play it for hours, the police chase is very exciting. Even after like two decades it still feels good to play.
