Unfortunately, the game’s main villain, Sgt. Mia takes off right away, but you don’t know any better. While you are sitting at the red light, a police Corvette comes out of nowhere and stops in front of both of you. Which should also answer the question “Why isn’t Mia on the Blacklist?” This is how we are formally introduced to Mia, who races you for a little bit before both of you stop at a red light.įAQ: Wait, illegal street racers stop for red lights?Ī: No, only Mia. The people of Rockport LOVE illegal street racing - the only businesses in town appear to be car dealerships, tune-up shops, and Burger King - and you even get into a race as you are driving across the bridge into town. Only instead of a “corporate ladder”, it’s more like a small-time crime syndicate. ![]() Illegal street racing is like any other career, and you’ve come to the big city to start climbing the corporate ladder, make the big bucks, and make a name for yourself. There is a flashback, and we’re taken back to six days ago, when you first entered the city of Rockport. Since the women would essentially be the “vehicle” in such a race, they would surely be at stake in the second event, in order to maintain some level of consistency. It’s also possible that this car race is only one half of a biathlon, and the second half is some kind of piggyback or three legged race where each driver partners up with his girlfriend. It is possible that in addition to their cars, Razor and the player might have wagered their girlfriends, as well. She warns you that there is something wrong with your car, and then the game fades out.įAQ: What does Razor mean when he says “First I’m gonna take your ride, then I’m gonna take your girl?”Ī: The first half of Razor’s statement is fairly obvious, since the drivers are racing for pink slips, but the second half is a bit more puzzling. Mia is pretty hot, so you don’t think twice about picking up the phone and talking to her even though you’re in the middle of a death-defying race on crowded public streets with a car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line. ![]() The race begins, but about halfway through, Mia calls. Razor is driving a pretty fierce looking Mustang, but your BMW has a much, much bigger spoiler than his car, and that is of course the most important factor in a race. Psychological games such as this are what makes Razor such a dangerous opponent. “Swap paint”, means that if you win and Razor has to give you his car, he will first paint it all ugly colors, and write “I am a loser” across the hood, thus ruining your prize. What does that mean?Īnswer: Allow me to explain this to those of you who aren’t familiar with racing terminology. As she takes your slip, Mia gives you some advice on how to beat Razor.įrequently Asked Question: Mia warns you that Razor will “swap paint” if he has too. The pink slip dictates ownership of the car, so by putting their slip on the line, each racer is essentially betting their car on the outcome of the race. A woman (later revealed to be Mia) collects the pink slip from each driver. The game begins in the present day, with you about to challenge Razor, the #15 racer on the mysterious “blacklist”. I’ll break down the story as it’s given to you, as well as answer common questions as they come up. Because of this, many racing fans might be too inexperienced to fully understand the complicated ins-and-outs going on throughout the game so I took it upon myself to write this handy little guide to help you navigate through the literary masterpiece that is NFS: Most Wanted. ![]() Plotlines to racing games are nothing new (who will ever forget the original Test Drive’s riveting story of “You just got a big bonus at work, now go try out these hot cars you want to buy”?), but few of them are as in-depth as the epic tale woven in Most Wanted. ![]() Fans of racing games may have been a bit surprised to learn that one entry to the Need for Speed series, NFS: Most Wanted, features a career mode with a rather extensive back story.
