Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005 Game

This page sucks.
If you could make it suck less, that would be awesome.
Specifically: Organizational mess. Don't put everything into one giant gallery, since that makes it look VERY lazy.
This page or section needs more images.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.
Specifically: Replace all those JPEGs with PNGs.
To do:
  • Split the page. The PlayStation 2 demo and the PC demo aren't the same build; the PS2 demo is clearly earlier in development, plus it has Multipoint leftovers.
  • Document the leaked Xbox 360 build's debug menu.
  • EA Demo Disc demo is seemingly a different build than the OPS2M build (can be found in SLED-53681 & SLUS-29167).
  • 1PS2 Demo

PS2 Demo

A demo version of 2005's Need for Speed: Most Wanted was featured in the Official PlayStation 2 Magazine Europe Demo 65. This demo features a build from earlier in development, likely from around July to August 2005.

Map Differences

  • Tollbooths in the demo version featured barriers that would span both lanes of a road and raise at the beginning of a Tollbooth event.

PS2 Preview Build

GameNeed For Speed Most Wanted 2005 Game Over

A later build, known as 'Alpha 124' dated September 20th, 2005. Clearly much closer to the final game than the PS2 demo, but it still has differences worth noting.

  • The loading screen was different. It had graffiti stains in the background, which were removed.
  • The clicking sound was different.
  • With the use of a debug menu, menus for online multiplayer, which was cut from the console versions, can be seen.
  • The story intro used the cooldown music, probably as a placeholder.
  • The sequence when a cop is seen is different, the world doesn't pause for a second like in the final version.
  • Rog's intro in the story didn't have dialogue, again possibly because it was still work-in-progress, although by this point he drives a Pontiac GTO, rather than the Mustang used in the PS2 demo.
  • Webster's Blacklist picture was different.
  • You could originally encounter cops during drag races and during boss races.
  • All of the event and place markers were different.
  • The engine sound of the Aston Martin DB9 was different.

The Need for Speed: Most Wanted demo lets you try out one of the hottest action games before you commit to buy. If you're like most gamers, you know that some computer games look great in the trailers but don't deliver on the promises of those trailers. Instead of wasting your money on a game you may only play once or twice, you can download a demo to get a feel for the game and try it out for free.

Electronic Arts is one of the top game design companies around, but despite releasing some hit games over the years, many fans know it for its Need for Speed games. Originally released in 2005, Need for Speed: Most Wanted quickly became one of the top games among racing fans. Electronic Arts and Criteria Games released a brand new version of this classic game in 2012 that combines modern elements with the game that so many loved.

Unlike other demos that limit what you can do and tell you little about the actual game, this demo puts you right in the driver's seat. You can pick from four different amazing cars to play in the demo, and you can pick a new car each time you play. The demo even lets you make some of the modifications that you would in the full game, including swapping out the tires, changing the engine and buying aftermarket parts with in-game money.

Once you select a car and make your changes, you can take it out for a spin. The Need for Speed: Most Wanted demo features two impressive tracks. Select one of those tracks to race against competitors created by the game itself. You'll even have the chance to hit the road and take off on a chase across the city with the police hot on your tail.
