About This Game
Most Wanted on GBA condenses the console experience into a portable format, maintaining the core 'race-to-escape' mechanics. Police pursuits use spike strips and roadblocks just like the main version.
The game includes a career mode where players work through the Blacklist by winning races and evading cops. Customization options allow performance upgrades and visual modifications to vehicles.
Despite hardware limitations, the GBA version features detailed car models and dynamic lighting effects. The soundtrack includes remixed electronic tracks from the console version.
