This game is by far the best in the series and definitely has lots of replay ability. I just got the game yesterday and already have gone through the first three Blacklist members. The Cops, in essence, are very silly and almost FORCE you to destroy their vehicle so they're unable to pursue you further. The Police pursuits can pop-in during almost any race, except those against a Blacklist member, and add a new element to your race. They can either take out the three other racers for an easy win, or run you off the road for a terrible loss. As far as gameplay, if you've played Need for Speed Underground 1 & 2, and were somewhat decent, you'll only need to remember the controls to be good on Need for Speed Most Wanted. Everything as far as car options and upgrades from NFSU2 are all in the game, along with many new items that are opened up over time. The Black Edition comes with 2 extra cars, and despite the higher price tag, was more than worth it. Personally, the only car this game lacks is mine, Scion tC. Perhaps a Need for Speed Most Wanted 2 will encourage such a great car to be added. :) Great game, Great price, Great fun, and Great! my review is done so I can go play again.
