Community Insight:
We absolutely love this game cuz its so fun but there is something we wish yall added.. A whole open world map where you can drive anywhere kinda like 2005 most wanted but this is still fun but something else we wish yall added was customization where you can like make your car look yours and maybe some multiplayer otherwise great game.
Best racing game we ever played on the mobile device its amazing game.
We want to be able to customize rims tires body kits and spoilers.
We used to play ts so much when we were younger and am glad to say that this masterpiece still holds up to this day, the only thing we hate is grinding for the outrageous achievements and the super expensive cars, but its still an amazing game and would def recommend to everyone.
Love the game but it needs an update.
Amazing game been playing it since 2017 but recently there have been a bug with the music it lags every 10 seconds and repeat , then 10 seconds and repeats it self again, hope the developers fix the bug as soon as possible.
This game is still our all time favorite mobile racing game, even after all this time. No necessary in-app purchases to play the game or get cars. You just get in and drive. We love this game.
This is worth your time. We love cars and the game runs sooo smooth even though its been so long. It was ahead of its time for sure.
This is probably THE BEST racing game on iOS next to Asphalt 8. We just hope it doesn't become incompatible on a future iOS update.
When can we update the game to 60 frames.
Ngl out all these racing on the App Store this one is way better lol.
Would love to be able to use our ps4 controller.
We would love if this game was controller supported.
Really good game fun aspect of the game.
Love this game! Everything works better than expected.
The game is definitely worth the money our only complaint is the obvious hackers on the leader board, people that are finishing entire races in 16 seconds is a little ridiculous they would have to be in a spaceship no car in the game can finish a game that fast, it feels like theres no point in trying to break a speed record when people are allowed to do stuff like that other than that the game is amazing.
How do you get free roam? We watched the videos and saw free roam.
The game is really nice, but on iOS 17 doesnt run Please update the game to the last version. Thanks.
This game needs controller support.
We paid and downloaded the game but its not working doesnt even open just goes straight to our home page.
Needs more cars and race tracks n.
This game would be better if it was compatible with backbone game controllers.
This game is amazing, we had it on PC back in the day and was thrilledd to play it on our old iPad. We just updated our new iPad to iPad iOS 17.4.1 and it crashes after the splash screen. Please update this great game to work witth the new iOS. THANK YOU.
So no open world GYATT SKIBDI rizz.
And now Im enjoying the heck out of it on iOS. It plays great and has very good graphics putting it lightly. Good job developers.
This game is good graphics are good to its pretty fun actually but theres one thing missing and what everyone wants is free play in the game so people can enjoy the game more including us bc we want to join a game and explore run away from cops and more so yea either there is free play and we cant find it then just tell us pls but this will make the game amazing.
Should be compatible with backbone.
Hello. It would be awesome if you had controller support for most wanted. Ive got the backbone one and it would be awesome with this title.
When we were younger we played this game one time then after years we remembered the name and found it and we have unlocked everything and you dont need to put money into the game you just need to understand how to drift and drive.
This one of the best games out we wish we could use our backbone on this game but its only Mobil u would think because we payed for it that we can use our controller but we cant we use it only on call of duty and that was free.
We are currently playing this on an ipod touch 4g and the graphics are amazing.
This is the best app! We play this all day but there is no season or update yet . Still good app.
Absolutely one of the best games ever made for the iPhone and iPad Uses the tilt/accelerometer for steeringAmazingly where every other app seems to fail. Absolutely fantastic gameJust remember: small moves, small moves Youll understand once you start playing, lol.
There needs to be some sort of update on being able to save the game, would appreciate that, other than that we have enjoyed playing NFS most wanted for years and still will, just the only issue is being able to save progress in game.
Needs controller support pronto. Make an apple tv version too. Lol ill buy it.
It should sound like the original M3 GTR.
This game has been around for over a decade now and it STILL runs great. The trailer for it in 2012 said the game didnt break a sweat. Ive had it since 2012 and it is the TRUTH! The gameplay is fun, the steering is iffy but good, the races are either challenging or easy, and the musicits so 2012 which is a good thing! The music has some serious bass that adds to the racing! EDM is coolio with us! For $5.00 you will not be disappointed it is the most worth it thing EVER.
Agreguen el control backbone please.
This is one of the best racing games ever on mobile, Ive been playing this since we were in elementary. But it would be better if you updated like adding new cars and new places to race but still this game is so good.
Great game we have enjoyed all the NFS Games and would if you could add controller support to this game please.
This is our favorite game and we bought it with the intent to use our controller with it please make this possible. Thank you.
Can you guys please create a remote play for backbone please thank in advance.
Love this game so much but would be so much better if it had controller support.
Please update the game for controller use.
This game brings back memories of the past and its very fun.
No open world.Not supported controller.On PC and XBOX,its a amazing game.Why mobile edition is so terrible.
Please update the game to a new cars and mission thanks we love this game.
We have play it on Xbox.Its really amazing.But why mobile version is not good.
This game is just everything for a bored person like meI just wish that multiplayer existed.
El problema es que no se ve pantalla completa en mi iPhone 13mini.
