''Need for Speed: Most Wanted'' was developed by EA Black Box, released in 2005, and was one of the first games released for the [[Xbox 360]]. The [[PlayStation Portable]] port of ''Most Wanted'' is titled ''[[Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005 video game)#Development and release|Need for Speed: Most Wanted 5-1-0]]''.

Police chases represent a significant body of the gameplay, and includes the [[open world|free-roaming]] aspect of ''Underground 2'', but with less extensive vehicle customization features. The story mode is a different style from ''Underground'', with CGI effects mixed with live-action. The game featured the Blacklist, a crew consisting of 15 racers that the player must beat one-by-one to unlock parts, cars, tracks, and to complete career mode. The player had to meet certain requirements before they could take on the next Blacklist rival, such as races completed, milestones achieved, and bounty earned.

A special ''Black Edition'' of ''Most Wanted'' was also released, featuring additional races, challenges, and a few bonus cars; it also included a behind-the-scenes [[DVD]]. Both versions were available for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Windows-based PCs, while only the standard edition was available for GameCube, Nintendo DS, and Xbox 360.

''Most Wanted'' had extremely positive reviews and received universal acclaim from reviewers in many gaming websites and magazines, praising the graphics, sound effects, and general gameplay. With 16 million copies sold worldwide, ''Most Wanted'' is the best-selling game in the franchise.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Totu|first1=Florian|title=100 million Need for Speed Games Have Been Sold to This Day|url=http://news.softpedia.com/news/100-million-Need-for-Speed-Games-Have-Been-Sold-to-This-Day-125015.shtml|website=[[Softpedia]]|publisher=SoftNews NET SRL|access-date=August 22, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120402024311/http://news.softpedia.com/news/100-million-Need-for-Speed-Games-Have-Been-Sold-to-This-Day-125015.shtml|archive-date=April 2, 2012|date=October 22, 2009|url-status=live}}</ref> A game, also named ''[[Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012 video game)|Need for Speed: Most Wanted]]'', was released in 2012 with British developer [[Criterion Games]] responsible for the development.
