Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2
Overall: When I first saw this game, I thought, wow, another great NFS title. Well, it did not live up to my expectations. I've read several other reviews of this game, and it seems to me the aspects of the game they were most attracted to, were old features that are watered down from the classic NFS: High Stakes. My advice, go buy the old game for nine bucks, and see if its not much more playable than this ridiculous PS2 port.Gameplay: Everything in this game was so predictable. Maybe i'm the only one to notice, but the tracks are pretty much in the same locations as previous NFS games, just with better graphics. For those of you that don't know, when they ported this game, they took out the only two redeemable features, a "Matrix" like camera angle that you could swing around the car at any point in the race, and a camera that would show you what was ahead, like a roadblock or whatever.
Graphics: Some parts have very good graphics, and others aren't rendered so well. The cars look like McDonalds toys or something, but not exotic race cars. It was pretty cool that the graphics still looked good at high speeds, but its not like they strained the xbox processor or anything.
Audio: Still has the same remix beats as the old NFS games. But, you can rip your own music. The car crashes and ambient noise are not that well done. Sometimes too loud, sometimes you wonder what the hell that screeching noise is, and the engine sounds like a go-kart or jet-ski, depending on the car.
Suggestions: Go back to the old titles to get ideas. Don't try to copy other people's stupid crap. I returned this game after a week, so that's what I think of it.
