personalised than ever, with several different ways to level up and earn cash/points as you progress. As racer you have access to the fastest cars in the world, and some little tricks up your sleeve to make sure the 5-0 doesn’t ruin your leisurely drive in the countryside. As the police, you too have access to the ‘sexy enough to marry’ car collection, with some tricks of your own such as spike strips, EMPs, roadblocks and helicopter air support to make sure you can stop those hoodies in the stolen Datsun. Playing as the police was lacking in Most Wanted, so it’s nice to see them make a playable return. A new feature for the police includes the ‘undercover car’, who’s trailer reminded me somewhat of the intro for the original Most Wanted. As you become more infamous as a racer, the police will begin to recognize you, and call you out as a marked man/woman during chases, meaning you can’t always rely on other racers to distract them. Rivals is looking to be more intense and action packed than previous titles, with a police force hell bent on your destruction. Don’t like that idea? Jump the fence and be the fastest arm of the law instead. Risk Everything, Trust No One!
