This is the entire story of Need for Speed: Most Wanted and the game does not need anything more to be engaging because the heart of a game developed by Criterion lies not in the narrative but in the mechanics.ĭespite this Fairhaven itself there is a story, a re-imagined Detroit characterized by a downtown filled with old skyscrapers and lots of building material and suburbs that all seem to have enjoyed better days. You are a man of no identity, characterized only by his choice of vehicles, and you are on a quest to get to the city of Fairhaven and then use it and its surrounding areas to be involved in some of the most exciting racing on this side of Burnout Paradise and get to the top of a ten most wanted men list maintained by the police.
