Each pursuit is rated with a dynamic heat level system from one to six that determines the amount and types of vehicles, roadblocks and tactics used by the police units. The Pursuit game mode is triggered by ramming or passing an FCPD police unit at a fast speed, either in races or in regular free roam. The three main race types are Sprint Races to reach a destination first using shortcuts and ramming other cars, Circuit Races with different laps, and Speed Runs where a course need to be completed with the highest speed possible. The system is dubbed the EasyDrive mode and it is similar to the one featured in Burnout Paradise. Many options can be activated right away while driving and without having to access a menu, such as entering multiplayer, selecting races or swapping cars. Car configurations can be saved into profiles that can be changed in-game (and on the Xbox 360 also through Kinect's voice recognition) to suit specific situations. Almost all cars are available from the beginning (as soon as they are discovered in the city) and they are from licensed manufacturers with muscle cars, sports cars and more exotic prototypes. A large amount of locations has parked cars that can be swapped for the current vehicle. Vehicles can also be earned by locating jack spots. There are also Knocking Brothers repair shops the car can drive through to repair the vehicle, paint it and refill the bar of nitrous boost. They allows players to modify a license plate with a custom 8-digit inscription and each plate has a different design and frame. License plates are also earned as a form of "achievements" through different challenges. Reaching a new SpeedLevel is rewarded with new cars, license plates and opening up Most Wanted races. SpeedPoints add to a SpeedLevel with over 70 different rankings based on the amount of collected points. They are also collected by hitting obstacles such as billboards (with distance records), speed cameras (also with records), security gates and other obstacles. By participating in races SpeedPoints are earned to upgrade the vehicles through modifications for boosts, tuned gearing, engine, bodywork (also to crash through roadblocks), suspension and tires. The blacklist from the original Most Wanted (renamed to "Most Wanted List") returns with ten rivals to beat to acquire their car. The player merely races to become the Most Wanted on the Speed Wall. Unlike the original game there is no story. The game focuses on an aggressive racing style, weaving through traffic at a high speed, but it still retains many simulator elements compared to the more arcade Burnout series with its takedowns. It is a busy, urban location with the city centre surrounded by docklands and industrial parks, a departure from the scenic routes from Need for Speed: The Run the year before. The game is set in the fictional city Fairhaven which the player can freely explore from inside a car. Need for Speed: Most Wanted is an open world racing game that returns to the concept of the 2005 game Need for Speed: Most Wanted and it is the second title in the long-running series to be developed by Criterion Studios, following Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit in 2010.
