A racing video game and the ninth installment in Need For Speed series . It was developed by EA Black Box and published by Electronic Arts (EA) in 2005 . It’s upgraded version Need For Speed Most Wanted 2012 was released in May 2012 . Most Wanted received mostly positive views from all over the world and it sold millions of copies worldwide .

Most Wanted is just like other Need For Speed games in which a player races against a time limit or against other racers to win or complete the challenge . During racing session at some places, you are followed by cops which apply tactics to stop you and they can arrest you taking your vehicle . When you approach faster cars you’ll be able to increase the speed of car effectively by using nitrous and that too refills automatically with time . Three distinct regions are offered in the city of Rockport, along with cycling weather. Racing events take place between sunrise and sunset , unlike in the Underground where the events took place at night .

Three types of modes in NFS MW …
* Challenges
* Career
* Quick Race
The Quick Race mode allows the player to select a car and an event and immediately start racing. The available cars and events are unlocked as the player progress through the storyline in the Career mode. Achieving goals by winning races and performing a number of actions, dubbed “Milestones”, during police pursuits, as well as a minimum Bounty are needed to advance in the storyline and race against any of the mode’s 15 Blacklist racers. In the XBOX 360 version, the player is awarded achievements each time a Blacklist opponent is defeated. Career mode introduces a new feature – the ability to win a Blacklist opponent’s car (“Pink Slip”), bonus functions, extra cash or car parts and decors, after defeating the opponent in question. These come in the form of six markers – the rival’s pink slip (which is concealed as a bonus marker), two bonus function markers, and three custom backroom parts markers of which there is a body part, visual upgrade, and performance marker (“Junkman Marker”) that the player can select – of which the player can choose only two. New cars and parts are also unlocked as the player progresses through Career mode by beating Blacklist racers.

In addition to the Quick Race and Career modes, there is also a “Challenge Series” mode involving 69 progressively difficult challenges where players are required to successfully complete Tollbooth races and pursuit challenges, such as tagging a number of police cars. The pre-tuned cars used in each Challenge is fixed, ranging from mostly Career cars with poor handling to traffic vehicles such as a dump truck or police cars. Additional bonus cars may be unlocked as the player progresses through Challenge mode. The Challenge mode also has a cheat; by entering the words ‘burger king’ at the start of the game, the player can avail the exclusive Burger King challenge. Once successfully completed, the game will reward you with something, such as “Junkman” parts.
In terms of actual variations of races, Most Wanted inherits several racing modes prevalent in its Underground predecessors. The game’s four existing modes: Circuit races, point-to-point Sprint races, Lap Knockout races and Drag races, remain largely unchanged since the first iteration of Underground, while Drifting, Street X, Underground Racing League tournaments and Outrun racing are removed. Meanwhile, Most Wanted sees the introduction of two new racing variations, which places emphasis on speed. The first mode is known as Tollbooth, where a player races alone to designated checkpoints along a point-to-point route before time runs out; the more time a player has as they reach a toll booth, the more time they have to arrive at the next one. The second mode, dubbed Speedtrap, sees racers competing with each other to get the highest accumulated speed record at multiple traffic cameras. At a speed trap/traffic camera, players accelerate their car to aim for the highest possible speed. Accumulated speed is reduced over a period of time after an opponent crosses the finish line first.

In career mode and challenge mode at some places you are followed by police cops , they can arrest you and you can also initiate the pursuit by selecting the milestones or bounty challenge from career or challenge mode . The manner in which the police handles the player is determined by “Heat Level” . Heat level increase with the time and by damaging the property or by destroying police vehicles . The 2nd level comes immediately and after that, this process slows down at each increase in heat level . To cool down and evade the police you’ve to hide from police vehicles and the best way to make yourself hidden is to go to cool down places shown on side map .

Tips to evade and damage the police cops :

First of all, you should know that a heavy vehicle can give more damage to police vehicles so try to choose a heavy vehicle from your car lot . Try to drive a car in those places where there are more dodges . When they put barriers on your way to stop you then always try to hit the back side of the vehicle because it is much lighter than forward and center of the car . Try to drive your car towards cool down areas when you evade the police . It will help you to cool down as early as possible . Don’t try to hit the heavy Police jeeps coming at high speed towards you , because they are much heavy as compared to your vehicle and have more momentum which can stop your car and hence they can bust you easily . I guess Aston Martin is the good vehicle for making bounty because it is heavy and has good speed .

1.Career :

In career mode, there 15 blacklists and you’ve to beat each of them one by one and in the last by beating razor you can get back your BMW GTR . It is easy to beat them , use nitrous only when you are hit and try to maintain your average speed . You can earn more money by playing the won races again over again and then by upgrading the parts of your car like ; Engine , Nitrous , Brakes etc , you can easily beat the blacklists . Upgrade your car in such a way that it makes good and perfect handling for you . Keep your handling always a little more than speed and acceleration so that you can easily turn at difficult ways .

2.Challenge Mode :

In this mode, you have to complete 69 challenges by different cars , two-two challenges with each car . One challenge is the time limit or other racers and the second one is to complete milestones . By completing one you can open the next two and so on .

3.Quick Race :

In a quick race, you can select a car from the garage and immediately start the race whatever you want . Only those car could be used which are unlocked in career mode .
