Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 player review by silentgreen - MobyGames (original) (raw)

The Good
Let's see...the graphics are nice, the sense of speed is truly awesome (as long as you have the PS2 version--every other platform pales for some strange reason) and the cars are cool. I also like the branching championship progression. The sound effects are way cool, and the music really fits the action and attitude of the game. Sure the speed, sound, and physics are a bit exaggerated, but this IS an arcade racer. Besides, it's FUN. Many people forget that fun is the only reason to play games. Well, play this one, you won't regret it.

The Bad
Well, I would have liked to see more open environments (a la Midnight Club II.) The only other downside is that the intense speed may be too much for cranky old PC gamers. (Go play with your Thrustmasters, and leave the fun to us.)

The Bottom Line
Insanely Fast. Insanely Fun. Rent it. Buy it. Just PLAY it.
