![]() There is even a Cloud Compete option that allows you to compete in speed point comparisons and accomplishments over multiple consoles. ![]() This also serves as a way to increase your player score by completing objectives such as beating a previous score, drifting so many feet, driving in oncoming traffic, and of course, out doing one of your fellow drivers on your friends list. This nonstop action also comes in the form of Autolog that allows you to select not only the car you want to drive, but races you want to find the destination to (or if you have raced it, jump right to it). What’s more, once you have the vehicle, each car has its own set of unique races that will help you upgrade it from adding options like off road tires and a light weight chassis, to adding much needed nitrous, and believe me to be successful you will want to compete and win these races so you can get the absolute best out of every car you obtain. While there are gamers that I’m sure will frown at the not so realistic approach to the car options, it’s nice that this style never takes you out of the pace of the action, minus a screen wipe that shows your car maker’s emblem. You can still change cars even if you are in sight of the law, but be aware that they will announce it to their fellow pursuers. If you are out of sight of the cops, they will be unaware of the change you made, allowing you to escape pursuit. The Jackspots also come in handy when you are in high speed pursuit as all you need to do is approach the vehicle’s Jackspot and hop in. What’s more, once you have the car you can jump in and out of them if you feel the need to change things up. When you come across the vehicle, just choose the option to get in, and viola, you now have access to the vehicle at any time. Players now drive around the open world and will find the vehicles hidden in little spots called Jackspots. Need for Speed: Most Wanted is an open world driving game that mixes the cop chasing style of old, with elements that Criterion perfected in their popular Burnout series, but have created something totally unique, accessible to all skill levels, and finally gives you the chance to drive the cars you want without the drudgery of having to play for over 20 hours to earn enough money or skill to obtain it. Criterion Games has dished out not only a game that brings back old school NFS memories, but delivers one of the most heart pounding, adrenaline rushing games that the series has seen to date. Well if games like Madden NFL aren’t proof enough that the folks at EA listen to their fans, then put Need for Speed: Most Wanted on that list. Last year the Need for Speed series attempted a story-based new installment called “The Run” that fell upon mixed reviews and criticism of straying too far away from what made the series popular in the first place.
