no comparison with the original, unfortunately ...

Had been looking forward also to the "successor" of Most Wanted, but have to say it does not come close to the original.
No individual design options, no history with cutscenes.
The story in the original was indeed somehow contrived also by the hair but at least there was one.

The whole thing shows once again that the developers give a damn about the fans of this game, otherwise it would have been better.
The soundtrack to the few titles is also rather annoying and bad, so I got the music after the first preview no longer turned.
The multiplayer is not so great. Mostly ram only a mutual break, hardly correct race which I imagined otherwise.

So, after all these negative comments still got something positive.
Great graphics, great engine sounds. If you do not worry too much about it, it is good as an exciting entertainment. One should in no way compare with the original "Most Wanted" it halt.
Something like this is probably no longer be in reprint.
