For the Black Box 2005 release see - Need for Speed: Most Wanted
Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) is the latest title in Electronic Arts' Need for Speed franchise and was developed by Criterion Games.
The title is a re-imagining of the original Need for Speed: Most Wanted released in 2005, except it is designed from Criterion's perspective of the original title. It runs on a modified version of Criterion's Chameleon game engine[2].
Gameplay
The game takes place within the city of Fairhaven and features an upgraded Autolog 2.0 leaderboard system. Players will be able to compete against each other using in both single player and mutliplayer playlist events.
Criterion Games' re-imagining of Need for Speed: Most Wanted focuses on gameplay and the player's progression to become the Most Wanted on their Speedwall, although the Blacklist (renamed to "Most Wanted List") returns with ten rivals.[3]. This is a big contrast to the 2005 Most Wanted title as it featured a story.
Different to Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010), it is no longer possible to play as the police. Drifting plays a less dominant role than before.[4]
Players are awarded Speed Points (SP) upon completing events, performing stunts and beating a friend's Autolog record. Players will need to continue earning Speed Points in order to become the Most Wanted racer. Vehicles are also upgradable with performance parts.[5]
Autolog 2
Freeroam
Fairhaven City is an open-world environment that is completely open from the beginning.
The city features a plethora of Speed Cameras, Security Gates, and Billboards, which reward players with Speed Points. Billboards feature logos of EA's subsidiaries such as Visceral Games, DICE and BioWare. Smashed Billboards portray a wanted poster with a mugshot of the player that set the largest Jump Distance record through that billboard.
The city features a series of Repair Shops that the player can pass through to repair their vehicle, change paint colour and refill Nitrous all at once.
Players are able to earn vehicles by finding Jack Spots scattered throughout the city.

Multiplayer
Co-Driver
Co-Driver is a co-op mode that is only available in the Wii U release of Most Wanted (2012). It allows a second player that plays on a Wii U GamePad utilise a fully interactive map of the title's setting. They can support the first player by adjusting the time and traffic density, distract police vehicles and manage their performance modifications.
License Plate
Most Wanted (2012) gives players the ability to customise the text of the license plate through either the Driver Details menu in Singleplayer or EasyDrive in Multiplayer.
They can also unlock alternative license plate designs in Multiplayer. These designs do not show up on the vehicle the player is driving but will appear as part of the player's profile.
