E3 2012: Need for Speed: Most Wanted Gameplay Demo

When it comes to racing games, I tend to go for the over the top, battle race such as Mario Cart, Crash Team Racing, or my current favorite, Mod Nation Racers.

I have a feeling that Need for Speed: Most Wanted is going to change that. The most interesting feature the newest title in the Need for Speed franchise offers is the ability to race in an entirely open environment allowing players to have full control over how they get to the finish line.
