Big mistake.

I'm doubtful I'll get this because Forza Horizon is amazing - it has a huge collection of cars, has a vast amount of upgrades and tuning settings, has full car customization, has an auction house where you can sell your customizations/buy others, supports a force feedback wheel, 1080p, it has a very refined physics engine, has full online multiplayer but not only that it actually integrates other friends (and apparently some of their friends as well) race results right into your game. After I compete in a race it'll actually tell me who my closest "Rival" is, a lot of times its this same guy on my friend's list who's a bit better than I am so it lets me challenge his best time - and if I beat it I get more money. It's also free roam and you can do whatever you want, this is not a repeat of the last Forza game where you just choose a track - you actually go to where you want to go and race whoever you want to race.

Also, if you couldn't tell, Forza Horizon is already out and it's getting amazing reviews. I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

The deciding factor for me will be if NFS:MW offers enough difference from Horizon to be worth it. If it turns out to be unique, I'd get it for the Wii U because I'd rather have more games for a new system than one that's likely to be replaced within a year or two. I guess we're in the same waiting boat to see what the reviews are in a few months when it's released for the Wii U.

If you have an Xbox 360 and like arcade style racing games, since you're thinking of getting NFS:MW on the Wii U, I'd highly recommend getting Forza Horizon for the 360.

yeah I have a 360 slim and a ps3 super slim and I see all my friends on 360 playing forza must be a great game.

The game as a whole is about street racing at a car festival called Horizon, so it only makes sense to not have cops as you can focus on driving, exploring, beating records and ranking up. Forza Horizon's rank up system is near entirely based on doing things illegal, so having cops would contradict that system.

With that said I dont know if just having cops chasing you is enough of a difference for me to want NFS:MW, I guess it adds another layer of "things to do" but just trying to escape cops doesn't sound as fun to me as it does to a 12 year old.

A racing game without cops OR at least some turtle shells sounds painfully boring and like a massive waste of money, racing is fun but occasionally it takes a good 20 minute police chase to break things up abit and when you finally escape you get that "Im such a bad ass" feeling that i dont think i could get from driving in a circle at a hillbilly hoedown festival

lol no the vita usually has a watered down version of a game since its on a handheld for slightly cheaper when u could get the full version for slightly more money. You call everybody a fanboy lol.

That would make him an Anti-fanboy Fanboy

I don't have a PS3, but I am getting the White PS Vita for Xmas, so I will add Most Wanted for Vita
on my Wishlist most definitely. I've always loved Need for Speed Games. Though my favorite
was Carbon.

I can tell you right now the Vita version of Most Wanted is the same as the PS3/360 versions of the game. There were little compromises, and if you must know what they are, it is less traffic and Four people online instead of Eight. Both Alex Ward and Matt Webster were interviewed about the Vita version an confirmed it wasn't a watered down version.

"Hillbilly Hoedown" = YeeHAW we gonna have us a good time tonight with a 20 minute police chase! We r teh badasses cuz we press da gas button n drive around avoiding cops for 20 min YEEEEHAWWW!

Seriously though, a 20 minute police chase sounds painfully boring and like a massive waste of money.

You'd have to play Forza Horizon to understand the way multiplayer competitiveness has been tied in, and by the way the open road map itself has (iirc) over a hundred miles of roads, both paved and dirt, that can be driven. The map is nothing like a nascar oval track, it's set on roads of Colorado. The festival has music with 3 different radio stations depending on what you like to listen to, with tons of skills and races to do.

Holy crap O_O 3 whole radio stations??!!??!!??!!
