While structurally similar to Forza Horizon with its public roads, bonus-giving speed cameras, oncoming traffic and GPS-guided cruises between events, the action couldn't be more different.

In Need For Speed: Most Wanted, races are won through a combination of luck, aggression and wild, seat-of-the-pants driving as you weave your way to victory by fair means and foul. Its heart-pounding race events segue into police chases that encourage you to explore dirt-track shortcuts, railway lines and goods yards in an effort to lose your "heat". Made by the same developer as the awesome Burnout series, it's a raucous, dangerous-driving masterpiece.
