Ready to race? Ready to be put under constant pressure by the cops? Are you ready to be most wanted in all of Fairhaven? The new Need For Speed made by EA and Criterion Games brings a completely new concept to the traditional games in that there is no customisation of cars to do with how it looks, and now you don't even need money to buy the cars!
The game takes you to a brilliantly designed city named Fairhaven. The city includes tight city corners, long high speed motorways and many off road spots through factories and old airports. Whilst competing in races and constantly avoiding the cops your earning speed points everytime you go through security gates, speeding past speed cameras, ploughing your way through road blocks and winning races, and yes you heard right, you do get points for smashing cops into each other and ramming them off the road!
If you can find it, you can drive it!
if you can find it, you can drive it! the simple idea of this is that all the cars within the game are dotted around the city and these are called 'JackSpots'. If you are lucky enough to drive past one of these cars, you can simply pull up next to it, jump into the other car and drive off! It is literally that easy! And thats when the specific races for each vehicle come into play. Its all about showing off the vehicles qualities and these races are designed to do that, and they do it very well indeed.
The cars within the game are very up-to-date. With a wide range of cars and suvs to chose from, there's an endless combination of mods to really show the cars specific qualities from the small but agile Caterham r500 Superlight, to the W16 powered Bugatti Veyron SuperSport, the variety is endless! Need for Speed wouldn't be as widely popular as it is today without the upgrades that come with winning races. The new concept that criterion games have brought with them when producing the game is that all the upgrades for the cars are exactly the same but its how you use those upgrades on the cars that you drive that counts. These upgrades vary from re-inflating tyres, to short gearing transmission to aero bodies and powershot nitrous, with the vast combinations you can decide from, you can show off the cars specialist qualities, making the F150-Raptor suv indestructible (shown below crushing through the roadblock) or the Ariel Atom fly round corners like an F1 car!

Easydrive Menu system
The Easydrive Menu has ruled out the trips to the garage or the paint shop completely. This menu can be accessed at any time, even if your in the middle of a high speed chase or cruising around the city looking for cars. This is where you can access your upgrades for your car, select the different races to take part in and so much more. Another advantage of this is that if your using a Xbox360 with Kinect, you can speak into to without having to worry about fiddling with the x-pad when your driving, enabling you to use the menu alot more efficiently.
Multiplayer
The Multiplayer platform on Need for Speed is nothing that the street racing scene has ever seen before. Navigating through the menus is so simple, and when you enter the world with racers from across the globe your entering a war zone, fighting and racing for speedpoints to compete for top spot and the crown to be the top racer in the world. When all the racers have joined the game you meet up in certain locations within the city before each challenge or race. The challenges are random for each set of events, ranging from drifting round the bell tower in the square to jumping through the half-pipe at the abandoned airport to achieve the furthest jump and once you've mastered them, you'll be drowning in skillpoints enabling you to defeat the most wanted list in single player.
Need for speed website
The official Need for Speed website contains all of the information you could ever ask for about the game. It lists all of the cars involved within the game, shows you the map of Fairhaven and it is also the place where you can access your autolog data online which shows you information of your progress throughout the game.www.needforspeed.com/most-wanted
