Ugh, what was the reasoning behind the inclusion of the Ford Raptor in this game? It's so bad!
finished it's five races last night and it was such a chore.
The Evoque is a little better but I really don't understand why they'd include an SUV category but even if they totally had to, there were much better options!

BMW X5 M?

I'd be fine with it if there were an actual selection of off road vehicles. You could do some off road scrapyard races and have the race versions of the Tacoma, Frontier, Hummer etc

You could throw some decent SUVs in there too.

Just the Raptor by itself is awful though. Drives like total ass.

Kind of weird doing the airplane yard race against a Ford GT and getting your ass completely handed to you.

Hmm, when I click on the UPS tracking number from my confirmation email it says "The tracking information is incorrect or the tracking data is not yet available. Verify the tracking information or try again at a later time."

That's not a good sign...

I have never bought anything physical from origin, but from other websites sometime I have the product in my hands before the tracking code starts working.

Same thing happened to me and my game was just delivered.

Great game, by the way--textures are clearly better than the 360 version I had.

Same. I wouldn't worry, though. I'm expecting the game to arrive either today or tomorrow. I'll update you once it arrives.

UPS and their tracking really sucks.. Copy the code and go here http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/track?loc=en_US&WT.svl=PriNav

For some reason entering the same tracking code on home page of UPS won't work. lol

Thanks that worked. Looks like it arrived in my city on Saturday but they still don't expect it to arrive until Wednesday. Weird.

Mine shows up the same way but it was in my mailbox. Oddly enough the invoice shows that the total price was $59.99, it really must have been an error. I was just charged the $30

Is the update server down for anybody? I just got my copy and it's not letting me update the game, leaving me unable to connect to Origin and be able to play this online.

Just got my copy from Origin. Feel free to add impiri if you want some easy-to-beat times!

This is a really nice looking game. Off-TV play is pretty great; the super-low latency makes it easy to make last-moment adjustments.

The Gamepad map is pretty nice for co-pilot mode. I miss analog triggers.

I love the amount of effort that went into this version. From the interface to the graphics to the features for this specific platform. It makes me sad that they put no effort into something similar for the Vita version.

Did Criterion do the Vita version too?

BTW, the credits in this game are absolutely adorable.

Yeah they did. It was just a straight port of the console version, though, interface and all (except the downgraded graphics, of course). I really wish more effort went into the interface and Vita-specific features.

Practice makes perfect. Learn to negotiate corners, as contrary to arcade racers that idea might seem at first ; )

yeah Origins tracking implementation is broken, go figure. go to ups.com tracking page, and put the code in there, to see the info. Mine arrived at my local post office early this morn, but wont be delivered till Wednesday.

edit: beaten, and yeah even ups front page tracking is broken. Have to go to their specific tracking page.

Will a demo eventually be coming for this? I'm intrigued as to how it'll compare to the other versions.

Also that green pipe is a nice little touch!

Alright so I got the game in the mail today, but here's the problem. I bought the game for 31.49 on the 19th from EA's Origin site because of the sale the had going on.

Now I have the game and reading the receipt and it says they charged me 59.99. What's up with that? Anyone else have this problem?

My game won't get here (from the Origin sale at $30) for another day or two, but my credit card was billed $30; I'm guessing my receipt will also say $60 as that seems the common trend. Great deal though for a day 1 release. First day 1 purchase for me in many, many years.

Is there a correct method for quitting the game? I've had nothing but hard locks when trying to power off the system from the Gamepad.

I haven't had locks on exit since I started exiting only when the game is suspended in its own (+) menu. Apropos, (-) sends the game to the gamepad, regardless of what state the game is in - gameplay, loading screen, cinematics.

A question: does anybody have an analogue-throttle scheme where the change-tune does not clash with some other control?

Apropos: Most Wanted is currently #3 in the weekly UK chart, #12 in the all-time chart. In the DE charts, it's #8 in the weekly, #20 in the all-time! And that's happening during the massive Ubi sale!

Guys, I cannot seem to find this touch screen menu in the game that I saw in release screenshots.

How do you access it? I've been using the d-pad to customise.

I have seen a lot of changes those screens are not final

you can't turn off cops as I hoped the button would have done
