Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005 is considered the best (racing) game of all time by many people. The game features a story mode with live action cut scenes and dramatic police chases in an open world.
Even though it’s one the few racing games that feature a proper story, there is not much to say about the lore. You have to defeat the 15 street racers that are most wanted by the police.
The protagonist arrives in Rockport city in his heavily modded BMW M3, the car that dominated the GT3 races for a long time. When he races the #1 on the blacklist, Razor, his car is sabotaged. The protagonist loses the race and gets locked up in jail while Razor takes his BMW as a prize.
You have to start from scratch and defeat each member of the blacklist to finally challenge and defeat Razor and take your BMW back.
Theory:
You, as a player, have 32 cars to choose from, but in the real story, the protagonist beats Razor with a Chevrolet Camaro SS.
How did I come to this conclusion? When Most Wanted was released, there was a special, limited edition for collectors you could purchase. It was called the Black Edition. This version of the game features a bonus challenge in which you drive a Camaro and have to escape a police chase while having a higher “wanted level” which is not in the original game. The Camaro can also be selected in the Quick Race/ Arcade mode.
The Camaro is also the oldest and the only classic car in the game (when the game was released, now a lot of the others cars are also classics by today’s standards). This car really stands out. The Camaro is the only bonus car in the collector’s edition and there is no explanation as to why.
This is why I believe that the protagonist beats Razor in this car. Maybe the developers considered giving the protagonist this car in the main game, but then decided to not limit the player in his choice. After all, there are many iconic cars to choose from such as the Aston Martin DB9, Dodge Viper, Porsche 911, Porsche Carrera GT, Lamborghini Murcielago, Ford GT, Mercedes SLR.
My favorite was always the Murcielago for its beauty and my friend from school preferred the Carrera GT for its “formula 1 sound”. What was your favorite car in Most Wanted?
