I think Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2 is a pretty good game, although now there Need For Speed series has progressed through 2007, the older NFS games still have a fanbase. The thing is - they dont make the new ones like they used to, so thats why I bought this. I'd say its a pretty good game from what I've played, I have not encountered any problems with it. You basically go through a big tournament for the main game and you can buildup points to buy cars and new tracks to drive on, while completing the races. Theres also a "Be The Cop" mode where you chase down people driving a police car (theres several to choose from) with the ability to call in a helicopter to drop bombs (Which I thought was pretty ridiculous myself), call for a backup unit, or setup a roadblock or spike strip (You cannot choose which, its random whether they use a roadblock or spike strip.) I think my biggest nitpick with the game is just that its so arcade feeling, the driving is okay, but its almost like the cars dont have power steering, and if you hit anyone or anything it probably isnt going to do very much in terms of damage since its like crashing matchbox cars together. The graphics are pretty dated, but for late 2007 I still dont think they look all that bad for a game made in the early 2000s. I'd say the sound effects are okay too, the music is okay too although many of the songs werent familiar to me.

You can also download modifications for this game, so you can swap out the standard cars for new cars that you can download off websites, so if you dont like some of the cars you can replace them, including the police car, with new ones. Other mods available make the tracks look better, and ramp up the skill of the opponent racers and police, making it harder for you, pretty good if you want more of a challenge.

Overall the game can be had for about 10$ or so so I dont see any problem with buying it despite its shortcomings - just dont sit there and think its a bad game because its not the latest release, because its not. The thing that nagged me the most was as I said earlier, that it felt so unrealistic at times, the car physics - especially when ramming into people - felt pretty fake. But otherwise I didnt think it was a bad game and considering the price I'd say it was worth it. Enjoy!
