While it was rumoured a while ago Electronic Arts have finally confirmed that they are working on another Need for Speed title, this one called Need for Speed: Most Wanted.

The new Need for Speed title won't be too dissimilar to previous ones, however this one will require players to engage in "strategic police pursuits". Not exactly the kind of morals a video game company should be promoting arguably.

“Out-race your opponents, evade cops and exploit the open world in Need for Speed Most Wanted; street racing doesn’t get any better than this,” said Larry LaPierre, senior producer, EA Canada. "Players instantly will feel the thrill of the ride as they hit the streets in an open world environment where drivers can tune their cars to compete against any class of vehicles or use their wits to out-fox the law to satisfy their need for speed.”

Seems that Electronic Arts have gotten out their Oxford Dictionary of African-American Vernacular English for this game. As players race they will build up their 'Rap Sheet' until they become notorious enough to join the 'Black List'. As well as racing against other drivers players must now try and escape the pursuing cops, adding a whole new level of play to the game.

The game will be released on the GameCube and DS.
