Need for Speed: Most Wanted is a must have!

Need for Speed is one of the best driving/racing franchises in the video game industry. That excellence is potrayed in yet another installement in the series with Need for Speed: Most Wanted. I have to say, this is a must have for any fans of the series, people who enjoy driving/racing games, and gamers in general. This year's career mode is not only challenging but also rather enjoyable. It once again leads you deep into the street racing world, winning races, running from cops, and having a whole hell of a lot of fun doing it. You get a pretty sweet car at the beginning until you are beaten by a rival racer. Starting from scratch, you have to climb a list of top street racers to get your car back. The Blacklist contains 15 racers you have to defeat. Every rider has certain figures you have to reach to take them on, such as the number of races won, milestones met, and bounty reached. Your bounty is basically how many points you gain by fleeing from the cops and escaping them. This is very difficult, as the numbers you have to reach get higher and higher every time. The catch is, after you beat a rider you get to pick from three random slips. If you get the pink slip, you get to take the defeated racer's car for your own. My personal favorite feature in the game is the ability to make your own cars. Making the coolest, most juiced up car can keep a person busy, and this game is no exception. The number of cars you can customize and buy get larger as you move up the Blacklist, as you unlock cars with each spot you move up. You can customize the parts of your car like the body, the spoiler, and the rims. The performance can also be changed, like the engine, transmission, and tires, and of course the color of your car can be changed. Don't forget to add flames and stripes to top off your decked out ride. Overall Need for Speed: Most Wanted deserves a solid 5. With multiplayer added on top of all the other game modes, Most Wanted is one of the best installments in the series. Addictive, fun, and challenging makes this game the complete package.
