All these years later, I can still remember my favorite cooldown spots and stretches of road in Most Wanted. The perpetual night setting certainly doesn't do Carbon any favors, nor does its personality-less metropolitan map that holds few, if any, memorable features. However, the more you play it, the more you realize it somehow also fails to recognize what made Most Wanted a fan favorite to begin with. NFS: Carbon (2006)Īt the outset, Carbon doesn't do a whole lot to distance itself from Most Wanted before it. Instead, it added yet another notch to the franchise's long list of failed reboots.

Thematically, 2015 had the conviction to redefine Need for Speed for an exciting new era. Yet, it’s all mercilessly undone, beaten and torn beyond recognition by the least intuitive handling model ever to grace a triple-A racing game. NFS 2015 had everything going for it: a clear vision, phenomenal visuals for the time and the most powerful customization engine the series had seen up to that point. Not since Capcom's Auto Modellista has a racing game so perfectly captured a flavor of car culture fans had been yearning for, yet been so inexplicably dreadful to play.

Once the vehicle is destroyed you can find the Most Wanted car in parked in open world, like other drivable vehicles are, as well as being able to drive it using the EasyDrive menu.(Image credit: Electronic Arts) 16. If you are again unable to destroy their vehicle they will again despawn and you will have to wait for them to spawn again. From my experience, they spawn about as frequently as Fairhaven's police cars. The Most Wanted racer will randomly spawn in the open world and you will have another opportunity to take them down. If this happens, continue exploring/free roaming the in the open world. If you aren't able to take down the Most Wanted driver after the race they may manage to escape and disappear from your minimap. Take-downs work the same way as you would destroy a police vehicle or opposing racer in the game - slam into their vehicle hard enough to destroy it. After winning against a "Most Wanted" driver in Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) they will drive away and you must "take down" their vehicle to receive it as an award.
