Gameplay

World Online takes on the gameplay style of Most Wanted and Carbon, focusing on illegal racing, tuning and police chases, and adds classic MMO elements to the mix such as special abilities. World Online even incorporates almost exact replicas of the cites of Rockport and Palmont, the cities of Most Wanted and Carbon respectively, into its map design. It also features co-op gameplay and team based game modes where the players play as the cops.^{[citation needed]}
