Need for Speed Most Wanted

Street races with the police on your tail

Need for Speed Most Wanted is a mobile racing game for players who want fast car races, close rival battles and police chases in the same run. You race through traffic, try to shake pursuing cops and compete to climb the Most Wanted list. It suits short bursts of high-pressure driving more than a quiet, realistic motoring sim.

Choose a car, then make it yours

The game features more than 40 cars, including the SRT Viper GTS, Porsche 911 Carrera S and Hummer H1 Alpha. You can unlock cars with Speed Points and apply Mods to improve your vehicle. Races also bring visible car damage, so collisions are part of the action rather than something kept out of view.

Steering that fits your preference

You can steer by tilting your device or using touch controls, giving you a choice in how you handle tight turns and traffic. The main appeal is the mix of racing and pursuit: rivals try to block your progress while the police pressure you to keep moving. If you enjoy arcade-style driving where a clean finish is not guaranteed, that push-and-pull is central to the experience.

What to expect

Electronic Arts is the developer. The game has a 3.74-star rating from 46,550 reviews and more than 1,000,000 installs. Those figures offer a useful snapshot of its reception, though they cannot tell you whether its brisk, collision-heavy style will suit you. The reference information also notes optional purchases of virtual currency for in-game items. Choose it for car variety, rival races and police chases; look elsewhere if you want a slower, more simulation-focused drive.
