Not the same as original
No story mode not even close to the original, developer didn’t even try…

Purchases do not sync. Fraudulent app.
Purchased gearhead packages as of three days ago and my new iPhone on the same account for everything Apple and same account for EA has refused to give me the content I purchased. This is fraudulent and their developers do not exist and the support does not exist. I will have to file complaints to the FTC and BBB instead of through EA and Apple which is absurd.

This is messed up! This game is nothing like the console version. 😠😠😠
I don't like the controls, it's so hard to control the car when touching and dragging the steering wheel and tilting the phone, it's just so messed up, please add button controls. Also, please add free roaming, like the real one, because all the time, I feel like this game is missing something. I feel like all I'm doing is just doing missions, and it gets old after a while, and you start to want to explore places. My advice: Just play something else, because Most Wanted 2012 mobile sucks like a dumpster fire! 😤😤😤
★★★★★positiveAsuraqq · 2026-08-19 · v1.1.3
controls and sounds
I really wanted to hear those same sounds in the game straight from 2005, but unfortunately they are not there, and the controls are also stupid, only a steering wheel and tilt, please add arrow keys!!! Well, the graphics are gorgeous and everything else too.
★★★★★neutralUVGa1axy · 2026-07-27 · v1.1.3
Controller Support!
Need for Speed: Most Wanted is still one of the best premium racing games available on mobile. The graphics, sense of speed, soundtrack, and police chases have aged incredibly well, and it’s impressive that the game is still playable after all these years. It captures the classic Need for Speed experience better than most modern mobile racers.
My biggest request is controller support. Many players have been asking for it for years, and it would completely transform the experience on modern iPhones and iPads. Racing games feel much more natural with analog sticks and triggers, and adding support for Xbox, PlayStation, and other MFi/Bluetooth controllers would make this game feel like a true console experience on mobile.
Please consider one more update to add controller support. It would breathe new life into an already fantastic game and give longtime fans another reason to keep playing.

Not the same game
This game advertises itself as the 2012 remake or the 2005 game but it is not the same game. There is no story mode, just races.

Doesn’t truly support modern flagship devices and modern IOS versions.
This game is old… yes… but I would have expected at least basic graphic option settings for more powerful devices. The games FPS is locked to 30, and that wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t stutter so much. The PC and console versions look so much better.
It’s resolution is poor, and the games aspect ratio doesn’t correctly fit modern devices.
Not only that but the PC and console versions of this game fully support controller. Would it be so hard to add controller support for a game with such horrible and unintuitive touch controls? The game is good, I like the game! I just hate the mobile port.

No Limits? More Like No Progress.
R. 1GB download for a mobile racing game, yet it feels like most of that storage is dedicated to ads, timers, and paywalls. The graphics are decent, but after years the gameplay loop is still the same repetitive grind: race for 30 seconds, wait for fuel, hit another PR wall, repeat.
For a game called No Limits, there are limits everywhere - limited fuel, limited progression, limited events, and unlimited microtransactions.
Many players have also complained about bugs, crashes, loading issues, and the heavy pay-to-win progression system.
Need for Speed used to be about freedom, customization, and street racing culture. This feels more like a waiting simulator disguised as a racing game. After all these years, the game still relies on the same monetization tricks instead of meaningful improvements.
2.1GB installed. 10 minutes of fun. Endless frustration.

Control support
This game doesn’t make sense to be a nfs title made for consoles and pc and does not have controller support, can it please be added, I bought thw game thinking it had controller support so I can casually have fun, controller changes the dynamics ot the game nig time
If that is added the game will be 5 star
★★★★★negativeSteal $ and sell it info · 2026-05-19 · v1.1.3
Who writes these fake reviews? The graphics are great. The controls simply suck
Fix the game controls. The year is 2026 not 1998! You can not boast the best racing game
★★★★★neutralGRIM MARTYR · 2026-05-17 · v1.1.3
Add free roam
The game needs the original free roam and cop chases. That was like %75 of the original fun.
★★★★★negativemrdravs · 2026-05-10 · v1.1.3
Compre el juego y ni siquiera abre
logre pagar el juego despues de mucho tiempo y luego cuando intento abrirlo, que aparece el icono de EA, se cierra el juego totalmente y si repito la accion hace lo mismo

Need Controller Capabilities
It’s ok to use the controls on the screen but there are players out here that prefer to use controllers as well this was my favorite game growing up on PlayStation… we need controller support as well!!!!!

Not enough effort
The developers clearly didn’t put enough effort into this game. The issues that need to be fixed and the features that need to be added are obvious, yet they remain ignored. It’s disappointing to see such a lack of attention from the team when the community knows exactly what’s missing.
