#NFS MOST WANTED 2012 GAMEPLAY UPGRADE#
By participating in races SpeedPoints are earned to upgrade the vehicles through modifications for boosts, tuned gearing, engine, bodywork (also to crash through roadblocks), suspension and tires. The blacklist from the original Most Wanted (renamed to "Most Wanted List") returns with ten rivals to beat to acquire their car.

The player merely races to become the Most Wanted on the Speed Wall. Unlike the original game there is no story. The game focuses on an aggressive racing style, weaving through traffic at a high speed, but it still retains many simulator elements compared to the more arcade Burnout series with its takedowns. It is a busy, urban location with the city centre surrounded by docklands and industrial parks, a departure from the scenic routes from Need for Speed: The Run the year before. The game is set in the fictional city Fairhaven which the player can freely explore from inside a car. Need for Speed: Most Wanted is an open world racing game that returns to the concept of the 2005 game Need for Speed: Most Wanted and it is the second title in the long-running series to be developed by Criterion Studios, following Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit in 2010.
