![]() ![]() Once my Bentley was upgraded though, I was ploughing through them as easily as through police roadblocks. Most Wanted puts the city streets to great use, with bridges and tunnels causing big obstacles, almost as much as the oncoming traffic. I’d played street racers - and Street Racer - before, but they were exclusively circuit-based. Most courses run straight through checkpoints to the end, with no part repeated. It wasn’t until I was entering the second lap of one race, that I realised there were laps. Even then it was an accident as I think you need to unlock it for each car. Now, the tutorial is pretty crap, so I didn’t realise I had a nitro until I only had 2 races left to do in the Bentley - and I’d redone three of them many times. In my play time I jumped in the second car I found, a Bentley, and stayed in it. And the races are usually specific to each car, meaning you need to do them all to get all of the upgrades. You can also customise them as you win parts in certain races. You start off in the default car, but you can swap if you find certain parked ones with the make floating above them. Oh, then there’s the police chasing you if they see you speeding, or during some events and against the Most Wanted. The aim is to get in the top three of every race, earn enough money (I think that’s what it is) and then beat the Ten Most Wanted in a one-on-one race. Well it’s certainly racing Jim, but not as I know it. So, this game has some sort of police chasing involved - that could be fun! If not, at least I’ll have some Trophies for doing this on my PS3… You’re not stuck to ‘Finish first or redo the exact same five laps over and over again until you do!’, you can try a different route or a different weapon, not worry about shaving half a millisecond off of that one corner. Yes, you have to drive the getaway car in missions - that’s different. Jak & Daxter, GTA, Saints Row … If it has mandatory racing it really takes me out of the experience. Yay, going around and around in circles or slightly-different-from-circle patterns! It’s my most hated aspect of any open-world game. ![]() I’ve never liked racing games, so of course this will reinforce my dislike. Will I find something new to love? Will I find something new to despise? I'll take a full half hour, no matter how bad it gets or how badly I do, to see if this is the game for me. In each edition of So I Tried… I will try a new type of game that I have never tried before. Articles // 22nd Jun 2014 - 7 years ago // By Andrew Duncan So I Tried. ![]()
