Released by EA, this title perfected the balance between illegal street racing and tactical police evasion. Unlike its predecessors, Most Wanted introduced the "Heat" system, where your notoriety determines how aggressively the police pursue you. From basic patrol cars to federal heavy SUVs and helicopters, the stakes constantly rise as you climb the ranks of the Blacklist 15.
