This game stays true to it's title. You really need speed & reflexes to evade high speed pursuits.
This game starts with you entering the RockPort city to become the most wanted racer. But due to certain circumstances you are forced to compete with the Blacklist racers & eliminate them one by one which is superb.
New feature include the cut-scenes where you learn the basic concepts of what you have to achieve in this game.
I like the cut-scenes when you enter & exit the city as well as when facing the racers, something which was new to me in the NFS series. Also the cut-scene when you dismantle a pursuit-breaker is really nice.
Storyline is good which is something you don't associate with a racing game because you normally think that it's just about racing & speed. Graphics are also good.
Gameplay includes three categories i.e. Career, Rapsheet & Challenge series which is quite robust.
Cars given to drive in the game are also really good which includes : BMW, Lamborghini, Porsche, Ford, Volkswagen, etc.
Races include Circuits, Time Attack i.e. Single lap race, Lap Knockout, Speed-trap, Drag race, etc.
Drag race is where you have to manually drive the car i.e. change it's gear, etc. which is quite challenging.
So should I go for this game?
Ofcourse even if you are not that fascinated about racing games.
The Good : Robust gameplay, Breath-taking pursuits & Smooth handling of cars. No damage to cars which means that no matter how rashly you drive, you won't have to spend a single penny for fixing the car.
Variety of cars to purchase in-game.
The Bad : Some portions of the map in this game has lagging issues which can be irritating & prove fatal during pursuits as it can get you "Busted".
Final Verdict : Recommended.
