Players cruise the streets of the city Fairhaven, evading the cops while working their way to the top of the most wanted street racers list in this open-street racing game from Criterion Games.
@Dietomaha: Before each race in Need for Speed: Most Wanted, there is an in engine cut scene that plays. Although they entirely use game assets, cool filters and physics are applied to make them look surreal. This explains the "cop wheel", which is in the video before one of the pursuit races. There is another neat one where all of the cars are floating hundreds of feet above the city - pretty neat!

Thank you sir. That's pretty awesome. It would be even more awesome if you could get access to that stuff in a seperate mode as an unlockable or something...DLC maybe?

I need to see this in action:
Holy shit Criterion, you magnificent bastards!
...I'm sorry, Forza Horizon. You don't have cop wheels.
How is copwheel not the focal point of this game's marketing, reviews, box art, title, etc.?
This is a fantastic question.
Another question is, how badass is Criterion, that they can just put a copwheel in their game and act like it's no big deal? All they had to do is say "By the way, copwheel.", and they would have dominated the holiday season in sales. "WHO-lo 4?", we'd ask.
I'd like to imagine that all the pre-race visuals in this game are the result of a massive fever dream created by your avatar. The cop chase sequences are especially hallucinatory.
