One of the best parts of Most Wanted is the option for free-form gameplay. When your career does get underway, don't be in too much of a hurry to get down to business. Thankfully, Most Wanted largely ditches these sequences and switches to simple text and audio messages once the career mode really gets underway. Based on the FMV storytelling, this game should have been rated "C" for cheesy. Along with her, you're treated to a parade of wannabe hipsters mugging for the camera and uttering one silly line after another. We can only assume this was done to feature the eye candy of model Josie Maran as Mia. There's only one problem: parts of the story are told with silly full-motion video composite into computer graphics.

So a smug jerk cheats you out of your car and wins the prestige that should have been yours.

Razor then uses your car to rise to the top of the Blacklist, the fifteen most daring and defiant street racers of the city. You lose the race and your car, too, when he gets your pink slip. Just when you're about to put him in his place in a race, your car falls victim to his sabotage. You quickly meet up with the mysterious Mia, a hot, slinky babe eager to help you out - how convenient! You then run up against the arrogant jerk of the local scene, Razor Callahan. You play as a newcomer to the metropolis of Rockport, driving a seriously tricked-out car and ready to take on the locals in some street races. You'd miss exciting races, thrilling chases, and a big, beautiful world to explore. Yes, it's filled with embarrassing attempts to be hip and trendy. Need for Speed Most Wanted is yet another illegal street racing game. As with the previous Need for Speed: Underground, much of the game is styled around the illicit street racing scene, and as in earlier games such as Need for Speed III and Hot Pursuit 2, many of the Most Wanted's challenges involve not only getting from one place to another in the fastest time, but avoiding ambitious law enforcement officers (in souped-up vehicles of their own) all along the way. Most Wanted is built upon many of the fan-favorite features and modes from previous games in the series, including a forgiving yet credible physics engine, vehicles of real-life makes and models, and state-of-the-art graphics.
