Following its release, the game won several awards including the 2012 Spike Video Game Awards for Best Driving Game and was nominated for Best British Game and Best Online Multiplayer at the 2013 BAFTA Awards, and was repeatedly recognized as the best driving/racing game of 2012 by several outlets.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted received positive reviews, which focused on the world map that blended the styles of previous Burnout and Need for Speed games, and the social features, while criticism fell on the single-player mode. The game picked up on the Most Wanted intellectual property, as opposed to the Hot Pursuit reboot that Criterion Games developed previously. Most Wanted is the nineteenth title in the Need for Speed series and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation Vita, iOS and Android, beginning in North America in 2012, with a Wii U version following in 2013 under the title Need for Speed: Most Wanted U. needforspeedmostwanted2012/guide.Need for Speed: Most Wanted is an open world racing game developed by Criterion Games and published by Electronic Arts. needforspeedmostwanted2012/guide.asp?ID=17522

I hope this helps somewhat be able to play the game with the controller. (theres also a Xbox 360 controller control if you wanna look at that instead). Below i left a link for the controller guide for the PS3 version that i used to make it so its somewhat of a guide to map the 'default' controller scheme. Its not a 100% fix you might have to go back and remap certain things for menues and such but it works. Your probs going to need to use your arrow keys for abit but it'll be fine when your done remaping. So once the beginning cutscene is over go into settings for the game and go down to where your 'controls' are and remap them.(Assuming the game reads your pad).

Stupid i know but once you remap them to your liking the controls work and your able to play the game. You have to go into settings and remap the controls to whatever the controls you want for the game. So after being frustrated and returning the game something popped into my head i went back and got the game again to test something, the controller support is there and what i mean by that is it the game reads as if your still on M/kb.
