Rating: 4.2/5
The player arrives in Rockport City, driving a racing version of the BMW M3 GTR. Following Mia Townsend the player proves his driving prowess as he is pursued by a veteran police officer named Sergeant Cross who vows to take down the player and end street racing in Rockport.Races seem to be in the player's favor until a particular group of racers, led by the game's antagonist, Clarence "Razor" Callahan sabotages and win the player's car in a race.Without a car to escape in, the player is arrested by Cross, but is later released due to lack of evidence.Mia picks up the player and then informs the player about Razor's new status on the Blacklist, a group of 15 drivers most wanted by the Rockport Police Department. She then helps by assisting the player in acquiring a new car and working his way up the Blacklist. Rivals are defeated one by one, and the player is rewarded with reputation, new rides, and ride improvements with every Blacklist member taken down. As new boroughs are opened up throughout Rockport (Rosewood, Camden Beach, and Downtown Rockport), Mia also sets up safehouses for the player to lie low in, in exchange for placement of "side bets" on the player's races.
