5.0 out of 5 stars Become Most Wanted
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2015

This is a franchise I have played since I was much younger in the 1980s.

The game is addictive because of the levels of progress. The basis of the game is to become the Number One most wanted outlaw driver. You begin with much slower vehicles as you earn money to buy faster ones. I opted to pay for $12,000,000 which cost me $40 USD. You need to earn a level of experience points to have the chance to purchase a vehicle. The cars range from the common to supercharged supercars.

Graphics for the game is excellent. Rendering, visual effects and lighting are perfectly executed.

Sound is another advantage with genuine sound effects from cars, screeching tires from drifting and background soundtracks.

Control is intuitive and responsive. Vehicles handle differently based upon top speed, acceleration, handling and physics.

The Menu system and navigation through the interface is intuitive. You select competition in different boroughs of the city.

Each track has its own set of challenges. Police have different methods of pursuit and trying to stop you, such as crashing into your vehicle, road blocks and tire spikes. Drifting is a method of navigating around high speed curves and boosting your ability to get Nitrous oxide for a boost. Taking out cars is another method.

Overall, this addictive gameplay and there is no slowdown in graphics on the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9.

5.0 out of 5 stars ((((((((( HELP FOUND FOR STORAGE FLUKES FOR KF G1 )))))))))
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2013
Verified Purchase
For those of you who are having storage problems, well, I have found the solution to that problem. If you have downloaded it already, and have installed it, remove it from carousel. Then you must get rid of the apps that you don't desire, preferably the ones at the back of your list. Get rid of enough of them so that you have enough space to play. Once you do this, install it again. Downlaoding it again will take a while, but it should work. I hope I helped. ;)
Ok, now down to the actual game. Its really nice to be able to explain in one word, and that word for this game is astounding. The graphics have exceeded any other app I have ever purchased. Also, the gameplay is very addicting, which a good game should. The game itself runs smoothly.
Do NOT trust most of the negative reviews, most of these people didn't buy the app. They just got frustrated because of its advertisements on other games. Without those reviews, and the reviews that had technical difficulties (which I have explained on how to fix), this game would be in the 4-5 star range, not 3.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really awesome
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2013
Verified Purchase
Okay, first I am going to start off by saying that this game is amazing. It is super awesome because if you have Orgin on Most Wanted 2 for the XBOX 360 you can sign in and have all of your SP which is cool. The graphics are great, the gameplay is really fun. I don't understand what some people are complaining about, the races aren't that hard until the Most Wanted, which I am at, and the cops are fun to battle with and some parts they ruin your race but I don't understand what they are complaining about, the whole point of Most Wanted is the cops. I have played the first Most Wanted from 2005, the game would be just about nothing without cops. The new game from 2012, which I also have centers around cops. So if you people complaining about the police being annoying, you obviously either have not played the first two games or see no fun in getting in virtual trouble and wrecking police without actually wrecking cops. Thanks for your time and for reading this rambling review.

This game is really awsome. The graphics are great, the controls are good. there is two things i dont like about it : #1 is No free roam . Game would get 5 stars if it had free roam. #2 is you cant have manuel throttle, so that hurts it a little. good things are there are so many cars to unlock and buy, they have chevy corvettes and camaros, ford mustangs and Gts, aston martin, Bugatti, lamborghini, and many more! i would say get this game it is a challenge.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK: NEED FOR SPEED MOST WANTED, KINDLE FIRE HDX EDITION

NEED FOR SPEED MOST WANTED is by far the best racing game on the Kindle Fire. It has good graphics and is a very fun game and gets very addicting when you play it. It has a big map which you choose your mission on; there are different types of things you get to do. There is a street race which is just like it sounds. There is one called checkpoint where you have an amount of time to get to the place and when you go past checkpoints it gives you more time. The hardest one is called hot ride, where you get to use a very fast car but each time you hit something you lose time. There is also one called speed run where you have to keep your speed above the track average. And last, there is one called most wanted where you have to race one on one. My overall rating is 5 stars, good work EA!

1.0 out of 5 stars Badly optimized and has terrible controls
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2014

I nev er played the real most wanted, only hot pursuit classic. That's why I was genuinely interested in this port. Well, what a waste of money.

Have you ever played real racing 3? Well, the only way to play is to use their brakes-only control system, where you just turn the device and have the car accelerate for you. I couldn't tell for sure, but it also looked to me like the car also helped you turn and brake anyway.

This isn't even mentioning that I have a BRAND NEW kindle fire HDX, with 2GB of ram and a quad core processor at over 2GHz, probably better than what the consoles at the time had. Even with all this power, my average frame rate couldn't have been above 15, judging by the slideshow display in front of me that honestly gave me a headache. I can

Maybe I'll try it another time... but probably not. I'm sure EA is too busy cutting down the servers for Spore and robbing BF4 players to care about the other things they release, much less an Android game.

As for the space it requires... you don't deserve 2.4 GB of my tablet. You heard me. Imagine what fun th

Kindle Fire HD 使ってます。
順々にプライズ取ってきたんですが、
NIGHT MOVESを始めたら画面真っ白、すごい処理落ち。
処理落ちっていうか端末フリーズするんじゃないかという状態。
一応他のマップは普通に遊べるけど、抜けがあるのが気持ち悪い。
この先も同じコースは同じ症状になりそうな気がします。
とても面白いんですが、制覇できないこと確実なので星３つです。

4.0 out of 5 stars グラフィック、操作性ともに◎
Reviewed in Japan on January 26, 2013

グラフィックが綺麗でサウンドも良く、素晴らしいです。
そして次に驚いたのが、チルト(本体を傾けてハンドリングする)操作のしやすさ。
驚くほど素直なハンドル操作ができるので気持ちがいいです。
車種が多く、ボリュームがあるので楽しめます。
マイナスポイントとしては、市街や山道などロケーションこそ違うものの、各ロケーションで走るコースが同じなので景観に飽きます。
処理落ちはレース前のカットシーンからローリングスタート直後にかけて若干感じますが、それ以外ではほとんど気になりません。
