The driving model of the game has been described as 'deep, physical and fun', not as arcade-styled as the Burnout series and Hot Pursuit, but far from a simulator. One profile is used for all versions of the game, allowing the player to rank up on one format and continue progress on another. Most Wanted features a new social system called Cloudcompete, which strings together Most Wanted across all platforms in an inspired example of cross-compatibility. Autolog recommendations have now been integrated into the game world, rather than sit externally on the menu system. Activities in-game allow players to earn Speed Points which can boost players up on the Most Wanted list. Autolog in Most Wanted plays a larger role and gives more information to players. The game uses Autolog, the competition-between-friends system developed by Criterion for Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, and since used in other titles in the Need for Speed series. Destructible billboards and fences and drive-through repair garages, all of which originated from Paradise, are also featured. Unlike the game’s spiritual predecessor Burnout Paradise the races have checkpoints that you must pass through instead of just having a start and end. Gameplay of Most Wanted has been likened to that of the Burnout series. It has a main highway dubbed I-92 that stretches across the city. It has a beach and an industrial district. In this reiteration, the focus shifts from Rockport, the city in the original, to a new city called Fairhaven.įairhaven resembles a regular city. As the Most Wanted racers are defeated, their cars are added to the player's roster the moment the player wrecks them.

The game features a Most Wanted List of 10 racers, similar to the Blacklist in the single-player section of the original Most Wanted, which featured 15 racers. There are also Ambush races, where the player starts surrounded by cops and must evade their pursuit as quickly as possible.Ĭops are integrated into certain racing sessions, in which the police deploy vehicles and tactics to stop the player's car and arrest the player, like the original Most Wanted. Most Wanted allows players to select one car and compete against other racers in three types of events: Sprint races, which involves traveling from one point of the city to another, Circuit races, each having two or three laps total and Speed runs, which involve traversing through a course in the highest average speed possible. The game takes on the gameplay style of the first Most Wanted title in the Need for Speed franchise. Need for Speed: Most Wanted is set in an open world environment.
