Easily one of the highlights of the EA press conference was the unveiling of the Criterion developed Need for Speed: Most Wanted (not a Most Wanted 2 then? EA must have a low opinion of the original it seems) title, a game which came across a lot more strongly as a spiritual successor to Burnout: Paradise than a bonfide succeeding entry in the Need for Speed franchise that we all know and sometimes love.

Take a peek at the crisp visuals, hellishly fast racing action and open-world shenanigans yourself at the embed below:

Need for Speed: Most Wanted is due to arrive this October on 360, PS3 & PC platforms.
