Zavvi.com: "Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit is a love letter. It may have been penned by an adulterous lover – as its rather intense affections are levelled not only at the first ever Need For Speed title, but also Burnout 3: Takedown – but it is immeasurably more eloquent that your average fawning cap doff. Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit sees its development team Criterion Games – an outfit who have never, ever made a bad game – playing rather beautifully to their strengths, and the results might just represent the team’s most admirable achievement thus far..."
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.
Paul writes - "EA know a good thing when they see it, and for multiple years November was Need for Speed month. In a break from the usual routine, I'm going to be looking back at two games here, released in 2005 and 2010 respectively. The earlier game is Need for Speed: Most Wanted, which has the distinction of being one of the very best in the franchise. The second game comes from 2010, and is Need for Speed Hot Pursuit; which I'll talk about just as the Remastered version of the game has hit the stores."
I completely adore this game! In fact its probably my favorite racing game. I recently dusted off my xbox 360 to play Most Wanted 2005. Still a great game, though I do not remember there being such horrible performance. Like massive frame-pacing issues. screen tearing, latency. If any game ever truly needed to be remastered, it this one for sure!
A pulled retailer page previously listed a November release date.
I would be excited but NFS is basically dead in the water at this point, a shell of its former self.
Great game for the most part. They screwed up the "Free Drive" which doesn't allow you to chase or be chased, it's just driving around which is frigging boring.
