Our Expert Score

93/100

Need for Speed: Most Wanted on mobile is a technical marvel. It manages to capture the high-stakes, adrenaline-fueled spirit of the console versions while tailoring the experience for shorter mobile bursts. The sense of speed is incredible, and the car damage system is surprisingly detailed—you’ll see every scratch and dent as you trade paint with the police.

The pursuit system is the highlight. There’s a genuine tension in trying to outmaneuver aggressive cops while also trying to win a race. The touch and tilt controls are some of the best in the genre, providing a level of precision that makes weaving through traffic feel second nature. It’s a premium racing experience that sets the bar for what mobile racers should be.
