Need for Speed: Most Wanted (Video Game)

"Well, look what the underground let loose. Let's see how good you do in the daylight."

Rog

The one that completely evolved police pursuits to a whole new level, featuring the iconic blue and silver car.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted is a 2005 open-world Racing Game developed by EA Canada and EA Black Box and published by Electronic Arts, and the ninth installment in the Need for Speed series. it was released in November 15, 2005 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, Xbox, and Xbox 360, the last of which had this game as one of its launch titles. It gained fame for being the first tuner culture game by EA that lets the player drive during daytime and to be chased by the police, along with the return of exotics, countryside highways, and introducing a driving motivation for the player in form of an involved storyline. There was also a PlayStation Portable release called 5-1-0.

The main plot of the 2005 game involves the Player arriving in the city of Rockport with their blue and silver BMW M3 GTR (E46)note Which is also a rare racing version of the car! alongside Mia Townsend, in her own Mazda RX-8. After a close encounter with Sergeant Nathan Cross, they run into resident Jerkass Clarence "Razor" Callahan, who doesn't waste a second to insult the player. Mia tells him to simply race against the player to prove who's better, but Razor simply reminds her that he's Number 15 on the Blacklist, and thus the player cannot challenge him until they have a notable reputation. The player begins building a fame, meeting Rog on the way, and eventually manages to challenge Razor, who reminds them that the winner gets the loser's car. Needless to say, Razor cheated and tampered with your BMW's oil system, causing your car to malfunction and therefore lose the race. Finally, to rub salt into the wound, you're arrested by none other than Cross.

Later on, Mia comes to pick you up from the police station after you're released due to lack of evidence,note You don't have a car anymore, how could Cross prove that you're a street racer? but of course, not before Razor skyrockets to the top of the Blacklist with your car. However, you can get your first car and have a crack at defeating the Blacklist, while evading the police. All you have are your skills, your Speedbreaker ability, your car, Rog, and Mia. You're going to need all that to beat the odds. It's you against the entire city, racers, police, and civilians alike. At the same time though, the player will receive indications that someone in their inner circle is not who they seem to be, and there appears to be some truth in that...

The next game of the Need for Speed series, Need for Speed: Carbon, is an (almost) Immediate Sequel that follows the continued adventures of the player. Rockport would be reused and modified in 2010's Need for Speed: World, along with Carbon's Palmont City. A reboot of the game, developed by Criterion Games, was released in October 2012.
