Need for Speed: Most Wanted (NFS:MW) is a racing video game, developed by EA Black Box and first released by Electronic Arts in North America on 15 November 2005. It is part of the Need for Speed series of games. The game reintroduces police chases into a large body of the game's street racing-oriented gameplay, with certain (but not all) customization options from the Need for Speed: Underground series. The game is also succeeded by Need for Speed: Carbon, which serves as a sequel to Most Wanted.

Need for Speed Underground ve serinin devam oyunu Need for Speed Underground 2'den sonra sonra, Need for Speed Most Wanted karşımızda. Bir önceki oyunun bir çok özelliğini içinde barındıran Need for Speed Most Wanted'da, temel amaç; Black List adı verilen kara listede 1. sıraya yükselmek. İlk iki oyunda yarışırken, başa çıkmamız gereken rakiplerimiz dışında kimse yoktu. Fakat bu kez, rakiplerimizin yanında, polislerle de başa çıkmamız gerekiyor. Polisler de en az bizler kadar hızlı araçlara sahip. Ayrıca bizi sıkıştırmak için dar sokaklara demir çiviler yerleştiriyorlar. Tekerleğimizi patlarak, ensemize yapışıyorlar.

The Good Outrunning the cops is extremely exciting Outstanding sound effects Sharp graphics Tones down some of the over-the-top product placement found in the previous NFS games Mindblowing full-motion video cutscenes.
The Bad Racer AI isn't too bright at first, gets wicked smart later on Not enough mindblowing full-motion video cutscenes.
EA's long-running Need for Speed series took a trip underground a couple of years back when the developer refocused the game solely on illegal street racing. While the nighttime racing series was certainly successful, the lawless world was always missing one key factor: cops. This year's installment crawls back into the daylight. The actual racing hasn't changed too much, but the ever-present police make this game a whole lot more interesting.
