The game's main story involving players taking on the role of a street racer who must compete against 15 of the city's most elite street racers to become the "Most Wanted" racer in Rockport City. In the process, they will seek revenge against Clarence "Razor" Callahan, one of the group who took their BMW M3 GTR E46 car, and develop a feud with the city's police department led by police sergeant Jonathan Cross. The game brought in many notable improvements and additions over other entries in the series, its major highlight being more in-depth police pursuits. Certain editions of the game were packaged with the ability for online multiplayer gaming.
