Not to mention the fact that in Career Mode, you have the welcome option of roaming freely around the city. Furthermore, there is an absolute wealth of cars to unlock, including some truly killer rides like the Ford GT, the Aston Martin DB9 and the Lamborgini Murcielago. In addition to standard circuit, sprint and drag type races, you have time attacks, speed-trap challenges where you need to get clocked going as fast as possible at specific areas, and even instances where you will need to evade the police or wreck a certain number of cruisers.
Nfs most wanted review series#
There are several different modes of play, including a lengthy story-driven career mode, a series of challenges and a quick race, as well as multiple different types of driving missions. There are ten different control schemes, and though the default one works well enough, it is nice to have the option to switch it up if you deem it necessary. This is without a doubt one of the more enjoyable racing games I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing. Yet when it came to sit down and give this title a whirl, I found myself pleasantly surprised by what a deep and enjoyable racing game this wound up being, thanks largely to the addition of police pursuit.

Having recently played and reviewed Need for Speed: Prostreet for the Wii, I can’t say I came into this older game expecting too much. Street racing has been a fairly popular theme throughout the Need for Speed racing series, and once again it took center stage in Need for Speed: Most Wanted, released for the Nintendo Gamecube (reviewed here), the PlayStation 2, the PSP, the GBA, the Nintendo DS, the Xbox and the Xbox 360 in 2005.
