If you exceed the speed limit or otherwise drive dangerously, the police will start chasing your car. Reminiscent of NFS: Hot Pursuit, with their high-tech cars, the cops will be out to catch you as you race through the streets of Rockport. It is up to you to crush the 15 members of the gang, become the number one racer in town, and reclaim your car. Upon losing your fancy BMW M3 to Razor and his gang, you will have to rely on Mia’s help to take your revenge. Before you have a chance to get your bearings, you’ll find yourself racing all over the city. You will meet a mysterious woman called Mia, and receive a briefing about the city. The story begins as you arrive at Rockport. The player’s job is to win all the races and purchase the best cars. While Need for Speed Underground was dominated by Japanese cars, Need for Speed: Most Wanted has cars from many countries. It is great to see an increased diversity in the available cars.

While I still find myself longing for a nice Ferrari in the later NFS games, the latest instalment features nice changes. Now the Need for Speed series features more regular cars and puts an emphasis on urban environments and the story. Over time however, the series has evolved. The first games in the series featured incredible sports cars racing across highways and racetracks. Over the years, the Need for Speed series have been a wonderful way of satisfying our desire to drive fancy cars. Need for Speed Most Wanted Review - Adventure Lantern
