Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit - Xbox 360

This was a great purchase. I would highly recommend!

I have never been much into racing games. I used to play the old need for speed games and they were kinda fun. Today I downloaded the demo on my Xbox 360 and this game blew me away. For the demo, you get one race as "the lawman" chasing down the racers, and if you have friends on XBL who download the demo, it unlocks one of the racing levels. The driving physics are awesome including drift and slipstreaming. The graphics are great and the game play is exciting! All this, and the cop cars have added tools in their arsenal to apprehend you including spike strips, road blocks, helicopters and EMPs! This game is definitely gonna be added to my wish list!

By far the best nfs game, or any game for that matter, that I have ever played. The graphics are flawless. The only problem is the lack of customization, but that is compensated by the sheer number of cars and the fact that you can play as both cop and racer. GET THIS GAME!!!

NFS Hot Pursuit is a awesome game, but it has a few downsides. Parts of the game are too difficult for the average player, can be frustrating. For example, you have a car with equal power and speed characteristics but yet they pull several car lengths away, how is that possible? You can't set difficulty level at all, so if a young kid that wants to play they probably won't do good at all. The final downside is that you can't do split-screen on this game! I think its stupid not to have it. Yeah you can link up with other 360s but not everyone has a 360 and the NFS game or a spare tv to use. On the positive side, the game has awesome graphics, great detail attention paid to the cars, traffic, and scenery. The cars aren't hard to control either.

I had been playing Forza 3 for the past year, and when I got this game, it took a lot of getting used to. The preview races and other non competitive races are dumb (you incur more time when you crash into stuff, combined with not the best steering), but the races and pursuits are a blast. If you are looking for a fun game, get it. If you are a refined uptight racer, then don't.

This game is so much fun. You have two different campaigns in this game. One for the racer and one for the cops. The game can be very challenging at times to get gold medals on all the races. The online play is superb and the graphics are amazing. One cool thing is you can rank up your racers both offline and online. They work hand in hand. The only thing I could find wrong with this game was the EA VIP code thing for online play. If a friend wants to play it online he would have to purchase his own VIP code to even enter the online mode. This game will give you such an adrenaline rush you will not believe it. Outrunning cops and wrecking cars is so much fun. I can't stop playing this game. This is by far the best Need for Speed game yet.

As a person that has purchased nearly every Need For Speed Game since the Original for Windows way back when this is an Awesome game that stays true to NFS roots. They made a Hot Pursuit a while back and that was a good game too but this is 10 time better. High paced action that will get your heart pumping. It is fun that you can flip between a racer and a cop all on the same map and both careers offer their different features that make it fun.

The racing is challenging enough to keep me coming back for more. Yet the game is set in such a way that my 9 yr. old son can and does give me some comp. Being able to race is great, but being a cop gives a whole new perspective to the racing. I have most of the Need For Speed games and my son and I play them all regularly. This game has become a welcome addition.
