In Need For Speed Most Wanted what you drive is who you are (and no, it's not because you never get to see the person behind the steering wheel). The most brutal thing you can do to your opponent is take their prized car, which is why the boss fights with the game's fifteen Blacklist racers always end with the loser giving up their ride.

The game's titular most wanted all possess unique cars built around the particular type of race they're known for, and when you manage to defeat them, the car is added to your garage, with all of its custom jobs and upgrades included.

Because of this, every time you manage to beat a boss, you feel as if you've actually mastered their field of expertise. Not only do you beat them at their own game, you also unlock a vehicle they specifically built for those types of races.

By the time you reach the final boss, you already have a full car dealership in your garage and the means to beat your rival in any kind of challenge they throw at you.

Well, so long as it's car-related. An illegal bike race or underground chess tournament might still be everyone's game.
