Need for Speed: Most Wanted

Need for Speed: Most Wanted, released in 2012, takes on the gameplay style of the first Most Wanted title in the Need for Speed franchise. Players compete in three types of events. Sprint races involve traveling from one point of the city to another. Circuit races each have two or three laps in total. Speed runs involve traversing a course at the highest average speed possible. There are also Ambush races, which start with the player surrounded by cops and tasked to evade their pursuit as quickly as possible. The game is an open-world racing and adventure title developed by Criterion Games and published by Electronic Arts. It was released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. You can play it in single player or multiplayer, and the action can be viewed from a first-person or a third-person perspective. The police pursuit element is built into the event list, since the Ambush races start with cops already on top of you. Because the name is shared with the earlier Most Wanted, check the release year to be sure you are looking at the 2012 game.
