So which Need for Speed should I get Rivals or Most Wanted? (PC)

I really liked Rivals, but i'm not usually huge about the multiplayer, usually only play if people I know are playing.

If you have friends to play with online, Rivals is quite entertaining

I prefer Most Wanted. Each car feels distinct and has a real purpose. I spent a lot of time with it. If only the multiplayer would have a better flow to it, it might have been my favorite racing of the past generation.

If you haven't played Hot Pursuit 2010 yet, that's pretty darn great too.

I didn't like Rivals, because it was horribly inconvenient due to certain design choices, all stemming from its seamless multiplayer aspirations. Despite Rival's focus on multiplayer, I found its multiplayer stuff to be the least compelling of the last three NfS games. Granted - I'm a lone wolf multiplayer afficionado, guess it might be much better playing with friends.

I have no opinion to offer because I'm thinking the same question. Good game for single player?

lol 50/50 really?

I would go with the original Most Wanted or Carbon.

I really enjoyed cruising around in Most Wanted's world, not so much in Rivals. There wasnt that much to the world in rivals. And Rivals half baked multiplayer cops vs robbers conciet kind of ruined it for me. So i would suggest Most Wanted.

Just get Burnout Paradise.

I bought most wanted and completed the single player. It's a little short but satisfying. There doesn't seem to be anyone online though and that seems to where most of the fun is. I recommend going with Rivals as there will be people playing.

I enjoyed Most Wanted a lot more than Rivals. It just seemed like they made a better world to drive around in Most Wanted instead of Rivals. Plus the burnout like multiplayer was more fun than the cops vs racers mechanic.

I thought the PC version of Most Wanted was pretty bad. It's very clearly a console port, with limited options, the inability to disable your mic in game (or at the very least take it off of always-on, and change what input it uses), the inability to mute other players, etc. There was also a serious amount of input delay, which in an any racing game is a major problem. I liked the core game that exists within Most Wanted, but I had nothing but problems when I played it. I don't know how many of the other people here actually played it on PC, so maybe all of the issues the port has bothered me way more than them, but I couldn't stick with it for very long as a result. Also, at this point I wouldn't rely too heavily on the multiplayer in that game being terribly active, even if it does see a bit of a bump from this sale. I haven't played Rivals, so no opinion there. I'd suggest Hot Pursuit before either of these games.
