I played that one too, so maybe we both are old. Actually, I remember renting it from Blockbuster and beating it in less than a week after playing non-stop in between school, soccer/basketball, and sleep.
Actually, the racer that was #1 on the Blacklist aka the boss from Most Wanted "Razor" makes a cameo in Unbound. I didn't see his character, but I did get to deliver his car to him after he got out of jail. I foresee some DLC with him included.
You may recognize his BMW M3 GTR.
Well, in 2005 I was like 12 years old, maybe. I remember the graphics of that game really impressed me; I think it was a nice generational jump from the previous ones.
Definitely, that BMW was the iconic Most Wanted car. If I'm not wrong, it broke down in the first race.
I was 12 or 13. We must be about the same age. We surely share a lot of the same memories.
