Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 for PlayStation 2 Videos >>
Summary The return of EA's classic arcade racer, and I could not be happier!! An excellent game that does just about everything right, tons of different modes to play, as well as tons of different cars. I am very pleased with my purchase and I highly recommend this to anyone who has an itch to drive exotic cars but doesnt have the pocket book.Sound Good engine sounds and the EA tracks are nice but a little repetitive. The cop noises and ambient sound are standard compared to other racing games. Good job, but nothing specatcular. Turn down the music and turn up the car sounds.Gameplay Perfect example of what an arcade racer should be...easy to pick up, but hard to master. The cars move really fast(somewhat exagerated) and the control is very intuitive so you are not flying off the road. The zone cams are a nice addition, but not necessary. Starting off you are able to unlock things relatively easily but as you get further along the tasks become much more daunting. Unlocking things really becomes the main purpose after a couple of races. Overall very good.Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member. Summary Live out your "Gone in 60 Seconds" fantasies.Sound Great ambient sounds. The engine revs sound generic, although the Ferrari's really do scream. I'm not a big Uncle Kraker fan, but the songs were new/fresh.Gameplay More forgiving than the more realistic GT3. Greater sensation of speed, with newer cars. Two separate task groups or "trees" make sure you're not gonna get frustrated with one part and let the disc collect dust on your shelf. Even if you get stuck with both task groups, you still get to open "prize" cars, if you play it long enough.Would you like to Comment?

It kills gran turismo badly. Just an awesome racing game!!!Sound The sound is quite good but the music lacks amount of songs, repeats alot oof songs over and over.The sound effects mind you are just plain awesome. I turn down the music and up the sound effects.Still sometimes i turn my stereo on and rock to my own tunesGameplay Well the gameplay is quite good as you can race a friend and have cops chase you or do it alone .There is where you can be the cop which is not bad too but where the games kicks is atworld racing cause the a.i. is really good and its f%%kin hard. There is so many cars to drive and theye are unique and fast and just awesomeWould you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member. Summary Instead of writing a ridiculousely long review that no one will ever read, i would like to say this game is just good. It has good cars, starting at cheesy slow cars like an Opel Speedster, making the game easy, moving up to a Mercedes CLK, making the game quick and hard. It's just fun with a lot of challenges and unlockables. But hey, don't listen to me or anyone else, just rent it if you really want to know; whats $5?Sound The engines sound good, i do disagree with that one guy. The soundtrack is good racing music too. Yeah, the engines sould great.Gameplay Smooth and good - I have no idea what some of these people are talking about. It's just a goood 'ol racing game.Would you like to Comment?

It's not quite the absolute best racing game I've ever played (although it's very close) - that honor still goes to Moto GP on XBOX. I'm a real car buff, so the fact that this game has the SWEETEST rides known to man and probably the most intense sense of speed ever in a car racing game (maybe tied w/ Burnout on XBOX), makes this game a dream come true for me. Project Gotham came close because there were lots of awesome Ferraris and Porches, but the track design made the game come a little short for me as being my "dream" racing game. NFSHP2 is it.Sound This game has some NASTY engine sounds! All of the engines are loud, they sound like the real thing (e.g. the Ferraris have that great high pitched wail, while the Mustang has a nasty low-end growl, like in real life). The sound is so good that you feel like you're really pushing your car to the limit. The tires' screeching and the crashing sounds are also nice and brutal. Unfortunately, I hate the music - all a bunch of poser white rap bands. I just shut the music off and listen to the beautiful sound of screaming engines, breaking windshields and burning rubber.Gameplay The feeling of speed in this game is brutal. At times, you will feel your heart rate increase, it's that intense. This game, unlike Project Gotham, encourages you to drive aggressively, and there's nothing more satisfying than ramming Lamborghinis and Ferraris off the road and into a tree. It's even better to watch in the replays, which are very good (unfortunately, you can't save them). You'll be able to do things with these supercars that NO real life owner would even think of doing. Want to pull a Dukes of Hazzard 50 ft. jump off a ramp and land on top of your opponent's car? With your $80,000.00 Jaguar XK8 or $275,000.00 Lamborghini Murcielago? In this game, you can! Watching these elegent cars flying through the air, crashing into trees or ramming into each other during a replay is hilarious! The game starts off pretty easy for the first 6 or 7 races, but as you move on, you'll see a marked increase in challenge. The handling of the cars is not very realistic, but they handle great and handle differently from one another. This is not a sim - it's an arcade racer with a hint of realism. The feeling of speed and that you are actually racing, however, is unbelievably realistic and hair-raising. Wear a diaper when you play this one. I haven't played the XBOX version of this game, but I heard it's lame. Stick with the PS2 version. I know that after I've beaten the game and unlocked everything, I'll still play this one, because of the incredible rush you get from it.Would you like to Comment?
