Abstract: Fans would agree, the Need for Speed franchise was once a dominant force in the racing genre. However, after a few mis-steps in the late 2000s, the series found itself in a bit of a slump. EA then decided to take drastic action, and create a new versio...
Abstract: Calling in Criterion to reinvigorate the Need For Speed franchise is one of the best decisions EA has made in a long time. Longtime developer Black Box continuously beat the Most Wanted formula into the ground in an attempt to recapture the magic of t...
