Need for Speed: Most Wanted brings the thrill of illicit street racing and police chases to the Game Boy Advance. Released by Electronic Arts in 2005, this handheld version of the popular console title challenges players to become the most notorious racer on the streets.
The game features a career mode where you must climb the 'Blacklist 15'—a ranking of the city's top racers. The story revolves around reclaiming your BMW M3 GTR from the antagonist, Razor. The GBA version utilizes a pseudo-3D engine to simulate open-city racing. Players can buy and customize a variety of licensed cars, including Porsche, Lamborghini, and Lotus models. The core gameplay involves winning circuit races, sprints, and speed trap challenges while evading relentless police pursuit cars that try to ram and bust you. It is one of the most ambitious racing titles on the GBA.
