Speed cameras obviously track your speed as you blow passed them, while billboards keep tabs on the distance you jumped as you crashed through. Billboards and speed cameras have leaderboards, so you can see how you stack up against your friends. I reached a point where I only had a few left of each, so I pulled up a map on my iPad and hunted down the remaining. ![]() Each of these collectible elements have achievements tied to them, so people like me will spend hours tracking them down. Aside from billboards to smash and jack spots, there are also security gates to break through, and speed cameras to trigger. As I often found myself being side-tracked by a billboard spotted in the distance, or headlights while driving through an alley. It’s hard to estimate how long it would take to complete the main event, if that’s all you were going for. Granted, when you’re driving one of the game’s fastest cars, it can be pretty easy to escape by simply maxing out the throttle and hitting the nitrous button on a long stretch of highway. I actually found myself purposely getting into trouble and triggering pursuits, as I was having a lot of fun blowing through road blocks and slamming into cruisers. Thankfully, NFS: Most Wanted didn’t suffer the same fate. The police chases became far too tedious, and a couple of glaring bugs totally shat on my parade. While I played Criterion’s NFS: Hot Pursuit, I didn’t complete it. As you would expect, these are some of the best cars in the game. Once one of the top 10 have been beaten, you have a chance to “shut them down” and own their ride. In fact I, for the most part, found myself driving exotic or high-end luxury cars. This definitely negates any sense of fulfilment in terms of getting your hands on the hottest cars, but I think I prefer this approach. This means you could find yourself driving a Lamborghini within the first few minutes of the game, instead of having to progress through hours of gameplay. Each vehicle has its own set of events (5 total), and a series of upgrades which are unlocked by earning XP and completing milestones with the vehicle. Instead of being awarded as you progress, you simply find “jack spots” through-out the city, which allow you to instantly hop in and drive. One thing that is drastically different from any other racing game out there, is how cars are unlocked. XP is earned by completing events, driving milestones, and getting into trouble with the law. But in order to challenge the top racers, you have to earn experience points. As previously stated, the end goal is to become the city’s most wanted, and to do that, you have to climb the ladder. From this point, you’re pretty much on your own, and left to play the game however you’d like. There’s a brief introduction in the form of a fly-over of the city and a voice over which once again reminded me of Burnout Paradise, then you’re off to the races, literally. The single-player end of NFS: Most Wanted, is an open world driving/racing adventure, that allows you to wreak havoc on the fictional city of Fairhaven, and its surroundings. I was just surprised to see so many similarities and things flat out taken from Burnout Paradise. And don’t get me wrong, this is not a bad thing. And this time, they dipped into their own resources more than that of Need For Speed’s legacy. This is the second Need For Speed reboot to be developed by Criterion they handled 2010’s NFS: Hot Pursuit. Perhaps a more appropriate title for NFS: Most Wanted (2012) would have been Burnout Paradise 2, as it shares more with Burnout Paradise than it does with the original NFS: Most Wanted. Not only did I become the most wanted in Fairhaven, I stuck around to hunt down some achievements, and take the top spot on as many leaderboards as possible. ![]() None the less, Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2012) is a better game than the original in every regard, and one of the few racing games I’ve seen through to completion in recent years. Well, aside from the whole driving exotic cars like a maniac through a bustling city while being chased by cops, thing. It features a top 10 most wanted list, and the ultimate goal is to become the city’s most wanted driver, but that’s about all this game shares with the original. NFS: Most Wanted 2012 is not an HD remake after all, the original game was in HD to begin with. Before I get into this, I need to get something off my chest it’s totally silly that we have 2 games in the same console generation, both available on the Xbox 360, with the exact same title. ![]()
