Combining illicit street racing and tuner customization with the intensity of strategic police pursuit, Need for Speed: Most Wanted lets you out-race rivals, evade cops and exploit hundreds of miles of open road as you make your way up the Blacklist.Instead of starting the game with some stock model, Need For Speed: Most Wanted puts you straight behind the wheel of a super-sweet BMW. But this rush is short-lived after you blow a gasket and lose your ride to a member on the Blacklist.The rest of the game is about climbing to respectability on the streets. That's more than winning races; it's also harassing cops and earning loads of cash to buy the best cars in the world. Combining car-modding life with looking out for Johnny Law is a good move for this franchise. Evading the fuzz is the best part of the game.In addition to the great-looking cars, the game offers a solid driving experience. Sometimes the surroundings lack detail, but for the most part, EA did a quality job putting you on the street where one bad turn might put you down for the count against a major rival.Bottom LineYou don't have many friends in this one. Be ruthless and get behind the wheel.

Der Geruch von verbranntem Asphalt und die Spannung illegaler Straßenrennen liegen in der Luft. Need for Speed Most Wanted fordert dich heraus, dir den Titel als berüchtigtster und gerissenster Fahrer von Straßenrennen zu erkämpfen. Das Verschmelzen von illegalen Straßenrennen und individuellem Tuning mit dem Nervenkitzel von Polizei-Verfolgungsjagden in bester Hollywood-Manier wird dein Herz höher schlagen lassen. Auf einem frei befahrbaren Straßennetz von mehreren Hundert Kilometern fährst du gegen deine Konkurrenten und musst der Polizei entwischen, um dadurch auf der Schwarzen Liste aufzusteigen. Um zum meistgesuchten Fahrer zu werden, musst du sowohl deine Glaubwürdigkeit auf der Straße, als auch dein Strafregister aufbauen. Dies gelingt in fesselnden und schweißtreibenden Kopf-an-Kopf-Rennen gegen die besten Streetracer ebenso wie durch gewagte Manöver, mit denen die Polizei ausgetrickst und abgeschüttelt werden kann. Dabei solltest du darauf achten, die Cops nicht zu wütend zu machen, oder sie dir durch verschiedene strategische Manöver vom Hals zu halten, während deine Konkurrenten nur noch deine Rücklichter sehen. Need for Speed Most Wanted bietet dir vom Tuning- bis zum Superwagen eine Vielzahl an heißen Autos. Du kannst dir dein Auto ganz nach deinen Wünschen erschaffen, um gegen Gegner aller Klassen antreten zu können.
