Unusually, the game's array of incredibly desirable machinery, old and new, is unlocked from the moment you start the game, but there's a twist: you have to find it. This is achieved by amassing speed points by winning races, achieving challenges and driving like a nutcase – pulling off drifts, slipstreaming, escaping the cops' attentions, smashing billboards, passing speed-cameras at unfeasibly high speeds, to name but a few. Your overarching mission is to join the ranks of the 10 most-wanted street-racers in Fairhaven, then work your way up to being a four-wheeled public enemy number one. It takes place in one of Criterion's famed American cities, Fairhaven, which is bigger and richer than any of its previous ones, with jumps galore, elevated freeway sections, docks that are basically sandboxes for hooligans and so on. Luckily, Criterion has honed the art of making arcade-racers to such a rarefied level over the years that Most Wanted justifies the hype with almost contemptuous ease. Everything in Most Wanted is geared towards encouraging you to explore Fairhaven, which is fine, since it looks drop-dead gorgeous – even the grotty bits.
