There’s no better symbol of what Most Wanted stood for than seeing the big doughnut rolling into a cop car. I hit the pursuit breaker at the Petersburg doughnut shop so many times, my car could probably drive there by itself, like Knight Rider. It helps that it was a launch title for a new console at the time, but seven editions since then haven’t been able to match the appeal found in Rockport’s open world, where a storyline mission race would drag in roaming cops, and the wholly improvised getaway had that something-extra feeling of a great game that had gone into overtime. Almost 15 years later, one still gets the feeling that the Need for Speed franchise is, like a football team after its hall-of-fame quarterback retires, living in the shadow of a long-gone greatness, compared to something so old it hardly seems fair to either one.įor Need For Speed in present day, that’s still Most Wanted - the 2005 game, not the 2012 revival.
