    You really presented MW 2012 in its finest essence. Can’t argue about that. It’s a 9/10 game for me if I look at it like it’s an NFS game, but a 3/10 if I treat it like a genuine NFS: MW sequel. Perspectives can change a product’s reviews significantly.

      I try to judge games on their own merits without comparing them to others. It basically comes down to a single question. Is the game fun to play?

      In the case of MW ‘12 the answer is yes. Is it is as good as MW ‘05? No. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a good game.

      As for being a “sequel” I don’t think that’s what they were going for. It’s more of a reimagining. NFS Carbon is a direct sequel to MW ‘05.

        Yeah, honestly that’s a great approach. I was seriously hating MW 2012, until I gave it another try without comparing it to any NFS game, and I loved it.

        Indeed, Carbon really was the true sequel, although Criterion’s original ambition was much much greater for MW 2012 (E3, leaked stuffs), but EA didn’t bother to add them more time.
