Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005)
Need for Speed: Most Wanted takes on the gameplay style of the first Most Wanted title in the Need for Speed franchise. 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. There is also the Ambush races, which start with the player surrounded by cops and tasked to evade their pursuit as quickly as possible.

Wanted's story won't win any awards, and the game would still be tremendous fun without it, but it gives your racing added significance. Movies could also do without stories: the original "King Kong" could have been released as just a bunch of exciting action sequences with state-of-the-art effects.

The nod back to the cop chase mechanics of the Hot Pursuit games is certainly welcome, plus it's interesting to see that the vaunted "open" gameplay of the last two games has been dialed down by a more forcibly linear structure to keep things interesting. As ever the presentation is top-notch, but I think we could all happily live without the bad story and trashy cut-scenes.

Fantastic gameplay variety, and stunning graphics make this a worthwhile investment if you own a high-end PC. I was introduced to the Need for Speed series back in 1998 with the release of the excellent Need for Speed III:Hot Pursuit.
