Need for Speed: Most Wanted
Most Wanted tells the story of a crooked cop, a hot girl and some other people who the game only uses to get you to race in various scenarios.

After a lot of circuit and street races, players must face off against a "boss" racer, which is usually just two races back to back. During these races, players must evade cops as best as possible while maintaining the lead against their opponent. There is no online play. Multiplayer is limited to two player splitscreen.
