Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2010

Saw it at a friends PC today, better than I expected I must say but felt like the games name should be NFS: Burnout Lite :p

I understand what you're saying, but the cops vs racers thing has a strong history in NFS that wouldn't have made much sense as a Burnout game.

All I know is: if it's from Criterion I'm buying it.

My only issue is that the feel of the drive is poor. burnout Paradise felt like you were more connected to the road.

[SkyDX]

I know that much randomevent but hadn't Paradise had "Cops and Robbers"? I never actually played that DLC so I wouldn't know how it compares :pinch:

And WastedJoker, my friend and I came to pretty much the same conclusion :p

agree. The cars feel like trucks :D but apart from that game is amazing.

Yes; they do (especially in jurisdictions where the officers/deputies take their cruisers home).

In fact, in most states, nitrous itself is not illegal for use on street vehicles - the bugbear is impact on emission standards (which no street-legal vehicle gets a pass at violating, including the police).

Maryland - except for the city of Baltimore, most local municipalities, and all counties, as well as the state's own public-safety agencies, have a "take-home" policy regarding police vehicles. (Amusingly, Prince George's County, MD has a "take-home" policy regarding most automobile-type official vehicles; the exception is - surprisingly - vehicles assigned to the County Council, due to recent abuses and a string of DUIs involving members of the Council; the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission changed to a similar policy, for a similar reason.)

Well in Florida they sure don't, they are the slowest cars I've seen and if your going fast enough they wont even chase you...

If anybody has it for PC, add me, GT WarboyX

Also agreed. It really doesn't feel like you're going very fast unless you're using nitrous or boost.

When you crash and have to start from a dead stop... UHG! It's so frustrating how it feels like it's taking forever to speed up.

If anyone else has it for PS3 feel free to add me (Boxster17).

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this... Honestly it's the reason why I'm steering clear (heh heh... steer...) of this game until it becomes a little more realistic in pricing. Besides, I just got Forza 3. That should tide me over for a while.

[Dotdot]

Dunno tbh Im not a fan. Played the game thru a bit now and its not for me i dont think. Still feels like a naff arcade racer with very little compelling me to play on. Cornering is little more than a drift showcase and whilst the Nitro and use of short cuts helps to make you want to shift a few seconds of your attempts I just dont feel theres anything special here.

Yeh its a great NFS game and probs the best in a good wee while, but I still feel like its lost its edge and that theres better games out there, such as Burnout or even the under rated Blur. Maybe its me and i just cant help escape the fact that I still feel NFS has had its day and nothing short of a complete re-hash from the ground up is gonna re-vitalize.

Also what happened to the tuning etc?

[rakeshishere]

I would give this game a 6/10. Its not worth giving this more and I'm surprised to see those great reviews. I also wouldn't recommend this title to anyone because there are much better titles compared to this.

The main reasons why I don't like this game.

• Nothing new and no storyline.
• Feels like burnout to me, no wonder its by criterion
• Driving cars feels so uneasy and its like driving a truck
• Game intro is huge and annoying and is also difficult to skip
• This game needs an adblock plus bigtime :D because every time I unlock something the game has movies /cut scenes which cant be skipped. The game stutters as well even though i have a decent specs for my comp

[Tharp Daddy]

Played the game, and while it's not bad i'm more of a fan of the open world driving games. I really hope Criterion releases a new Burnout soon, loved Paradise. I'll wait for a price drop before picking this up.

Also: Does anyone feel like it was ported to PC from consoles? There are no options to change graphics qualities that i can find, and it overall feels like a console game.

[san.W10]

for me, if arcade, then it was nfs hp2, MW the best

in those games, atleast there was some weight to the car & there was no compulsory "drift in corners" physics.

i think criterion copied DiRT2's corner concept - drift mode at every turn/corner :p

no standing start

worse rubberband AI than MW.

tank like AI cars

no championship type races

this game kind of gets boring after a while.

[Nimdock]

Is anyone having issues connecting on xbox360?

[Nimdock]

OK, just confirmed I am not alone... Annoying!

[Another Canuck]

Yep, can't connect on PC either.

Cops and Robbers was a multiplayer mode. I don't know what all it had as I don't play online usually, but it definately wasn't a full game in and of itself. (I did watch some videos about it.)

As to the comments about it being drift happy, yeah the initial cars tend to be but drifting too much will put a serious dent into your times. I (sadly) am not the best racer so the two people on my friends list are usually stomping on me.

[Xtreme $niper]

I have to say, I'm also not a fan of how every EA racing game forces you to connect to their sub-Live gaming service, as if just having Live wasn't enough. What's weird is that not all EA games force you to do this.

[rajputwarrior]

probably already posted, but i just found this most badass trailer ever

[neoadorable]

so far really liking it, very addictive game. plus anything with the Crown Vic in it gets an immediate GOTY nod from me - sorely missed in Forza 3! Nice going Criterion/EA!

[Chaltalian]

Just got this game and so far, it's really fun. Being the cop is a blast!
