《極速快感：新全民公敵》(Need for Speed: Most Wanted U)是Criterion Games為Wii U平台開發的開放世界競速遊戲，於2013年3月19日由EA發行。作為2005年同名作品的重製版，將街頭競速、警匪追逐與自由探索融合，並充分利用Wii U的硬體特性，提供獨特的遊戲體驗。

背景設定在虛構城市Fairhaven，自由駕駛多款授權車輛，參與各種賽事與挑戰。遊戲的核心目標是登上「最通緝車手」排行榜，通過擊敗其他頂尖車手來獲得他們的座駕。與傳統賽道不同，Fairhaven的賽事路線並非固定，可以選擇多種路徑，甚至在比賽中偏離建議路線，增加策略性與自由度。 

警察追逐是一大特色。在自由駕駛或比賽中，超速或違規行為會引來警方追捕。隨著「熱度等級」的提升，警方會派出更強力的單位，如路障、釘刺帶甚至直升機。利用城市地形與駕駛技巧擺脫追捕，增加整體的刺激感。

操作方面，遊援多種控制器，包括Wii U GamePad、Wii U Pro Controller、Wii遙控器與經典控制器。GamePad的觸控螢幕提供了便利的功能，如即時切換車輛、調整賽道條件（如白天與夜晚、交通密度）以及查看地圖。此外，還引入「Co-Driver」模式，允許第二位玩家使用GamePad協助主駕駛，提供導航、干擾警方等支援，增強了合作體驗。 

Wii U版本還包含原本作為DLC的「Ultimate Speed Pack」，新增數款超高速車輛（如McLaren F1 LM、Bugatti Veyron等）與多項新賽事，豐富遊戲內容。 

在市場評價方面，獲得普遍好評。Nintendo Life給予9/10的高分，稱讚其畫面表現、自由度與GamePad功能的整合。GameSpot則指出，雖然線上多人模式缺乏警察元素略顯可惜，但整體遊戲體驗仍然出色。然而，也有玩家反映遊戲在某些情況下會出現畫面凍結或載入延遲等技術問題。

總體而言，《極速快感：新全民公敵》成功地將經典競速元素與Wii U的獨特功能結合，提供豐富且刺激的賽車體驗。無論是單人挑戰還是與朋友合作，都能感受到高速競速的魅力。對於喜愛開放世界與街頭競速的玩家而言，這不容錯過的作品。

Need for Speed: Most Wanted U is an open-world racing game developed by Criterion Games specifically for the Wii U platform, and published by EA on March 19, 2013. As a reimagining of the 2005 title of the same name, it blends elements of street racing, police chases, and open-world exploration, while fully leveraging the unique hardware capabilities of the Wii U to deliver a distinctive gameplay experience.

Set in the fictional city of Fairhaven, players can freely drive a wide array of licensed vehicles and participate in a variety of races and challenges. The core objective is to climb the “Most Wanted” list by defeating top rival racers and claiming their cars. Unlike traditional racing games with fixed tracks, races in Fairhaven offer multiple paths, and players can even deviate from suggested routes during events, adding both strategic depth and a sense of freedom.

One of the game’s standout features is its dynamic police chase system. During free roaming or races, reckless driving such as speeding or crashing triggers law enforcement responses. As the player’s “heat level” increases, more aggressive police units are deployed, including roadblocks, spike strips, and even helicopters. Escaping these pursuits requires smart use of the city’s layout and skilled driving, enhancing the game’s tension and excitement.

In terms of controls, the game supports multiple input devices, including the Wii U GamePad, Wii U Pro Controller, Wii Remote, and Classic Controller. The GamePad’s touchscreen offers convenient functions such as instant car switching, real-time race condition adjustments (e.g., time of day, traffic density), and quick map access. Additionally, the game introduces a “Co-Driver” mode, where a second player can use the GamePad to assist the main driver by navigating, disrupting police, and more—adding a cooperative dimension to the gameplay.

The Wii U version also includes the previously downloadable “Ultimate Speed Pack” by default, adding several ultra-fast cars (such as the McLaren F1 LM and Bugatti Veyron) and new race events, further enriching the overall content offering.

Critically, the game was generally well received. Nintendo Life awarded it a 9/10, praising its visuals, sense of freedom, and innovative use of the GamePad. GameSpot noted that while the online multiplayer lacked the inclusion of police chases—which felt like a missed opportunity—the overall experience remained strong. However, some players reported technical issues, such as occasional freezing or long loading times, which slightly hampered the otherwise smooth performance.

In summary, Need for Speed: Most Wanted U successfully merges classic high-speed racing with the Wii U’s unique features, creating a robust and exhilarating driving experience. Whether playing solo or with a friend, the game captures the thrill of street racing in an open world. For fans of the genre, especially those who enjoy non-linear gameplay and dynamic police chases, it remains a standout title on the Wii U.
