Developed by EA Canada and EA Black Box and published by Electronic Arts, it was released on November 11, 2005, for PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, Nintendo DS, Microsoft Windows, Game Boy Advance, and Xbox 360. An additional version, Need for Speed: Most Wanted 5-1-0, was released in the same year for PlayStation Portable. The game focuses on a street racing-oriented gameplay involving a selection of events and racing circuits found within the fictional city of Rockport, with the game's main story involving players taking on the role of a street racer who must compete against 15 of the city's most elite street racers to become the most wanted racer of the group, in the process seeking revenge against one of the groups who took their car and developing a feud with the city's police department.
STORY:
In the city of Rockport, members of the Rockport Police Department (RPD) work to put an end to the city's illegal street racing scene. A task force of traffic officers led by Sergeant Jonathan Cross works to bring down the street racers involved, including a group known as the "Blacklist" – fifteen street racers who have gained notoriety for their racing and their evasion of the police. The player, a street racer who arrives in Rockport to challenge the Blacklist with a custom painted BMW M3 GTR, receives help from fellow street racer Mia Townsend in setting up a meet with Razor, the Blacklist's lowest-ranked driver. Competing with him in a "pink slip" race a few days later,[3] Mia discovers the player's BMW is leaking oil when the race begins, forcing the player to drop out of the race and forfeit their car to Razor. Cross soon arrives with the RPD and arrests the player for street racing, after Razor escapes, but is forced to release them due to a lack of evidence.[4]
Once free, Mia reveals to the player that Razor had sabotaged their car in order to seize it and use it to climb up in ranks within the Blacklist, and advises them to do the same in order to get revenge. Providing them with a safehouse and securing a new car, the player begins working to compete against the Blacklist in a series of street races and challenges involving police pursuits. In time, the player rises up in the ranks, gaining enough reputation to soon attract Razor's attention once they become the #2 driver in the Blacklist. The pair soon compete again in another pink slip race, with the player eventually winning against him and recovering their BMW.
Shortly after their victory, Mia reveals herself to be an undercover police officer for the RPD, who had been working to bring down the Blacklist from the inside for Cross. While Razor and the other drivers are slowly arrested, Mia refuses to let the player be captured and advises them to run, much to Cross' anger.[5] As the RPD begins a citywide hunt for the player, Mia contacts them and provides them with an escape route out of the city via a derelict bridge on the city limits. The player successfully evades the cops by reaching it and leaves Rockport. In a post-credits scene, Cross creates a national-level warrant for the player and his BMW, adding him to the National Most Wanted List.
