Need for Speed: Most Wanted , developed by Criterion Studios, is an open world racing game that returns to the concept of its 2005 predecessor. The game takes place in the fictional city Fairhaven, where players can freely explore from inside a car. This urban location offers a busy and diverse environment, surrounded by docklands and industrial parks. The gameplay focuses on aggressive racing styles, weaving through traffic at high speeds, while retaining many simulator elements compared to the more arcade Burnout series with its takedowns. The game's aggressive style is accompanied by a variety of modifications for boosts, tuned gearing, engine, bodywork, and tires, which can be earned by collecting SpeedPoints. The main objective is to become the Most Wanted on the Speed Wall, while racing against ten rivals from the original game's "Most Wanted List". By participating in races and completing challenges, players can earn rewards such as new cars, license plates, and upgrades. The game also features a system dubbed EasyDrive mode, allowing players to access various options while driving. The three main race types are Sprint Races, Circuit Races, and Speed Runs, each with different objectives and gameplay mechanics. The Pursuit game mode is triggered by ramming or passing an FCPD police unit at high speed, and requires players to maintain a cooldown level to avoid being spotted again. The Autolog social system returns, allowing players to compare scores, progress, and accomplishments against friends and other players.
Multiplayer offers various game modes, including one-on-one and team races with additional rewards and modifications. The available game modes can be cycled at random to provide variety, and the game features a persistent scoring system and global ranking.
The PS Vita version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted is identical to the other platforms in terms of gameplay, but has slightly fewer players and visuals compared to the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 versions. Despite this, it offers a seamless experience that can be accessed while driving without having to access a menu.
NFS: Most Wanted is released on November 2nd, 2012 for the PlayStation Vita, offering an exciting racing experience with its open world environment and social features.
