NFS Most Wanted 2 - The Failed Sequel [Game Graveyard #5]
Game developers often have to meet extremely tight deadlines to release a project. Some succeed, while others, like Criterion Games, fail. Their NFS Most Wanted 2012 was originally planned to be not just a larger project, but a full-fledged sequel to the 2005 game. However, things didn't go according to plan, and we ended up with only a fragment of the original concept.
