Game Info/Structure:
Released November 16,2010 by EA Games, this version of NFS: Hot Pursuit was to be a reboot of the Need for Speed series and what a better way to start it off than with the Hot Pursuit series (which is hailed as the best racing games). At first many NFS fans had first thoughts that the game was going to be sketchy due to the fact that it was being developed by both EA and Burnout series developer: Criterion, but as soon as further gameplay was released and finally when the game debuted, those thoughts soon changed... The game is split up into the career/campaign mode, online modes, the campaign takes an average of 20-25 hours to beat (if you play it non-stop). But the campaign surprisingly has a lot of replay value in it, where you can beat every race with all the different cars offered. The online mode however is definitely endless and is fun for it puts you up against racers that are as good as you or possibly better which makes it a challenge for the player.

The unique thing about Hot Pursuit is that all cars are incorporated into different classes ranging from: Sports (slowest cars) to Hyper (fastest cars) which helps players a lot and allows people to race against others in the same car class online which in turn was a true stroke of genius on the developers part.

"What I love about Hot Pursuit is that it completely embraces that spirit of adolescent madness and just runs with it. There is no wedged-in storyline here. You can play as a cop or a racer, and you increase your rank or wanted level as you run people off the road, drift around corners, drive into oncoming traffic (as a racer), and generally behave like a motoring maniac. Along the way, you'll earn Bounty to unlock new cars, expand your arsenal of weapons/gadgets and open new sections of the Seacrest County map. The more you drive, crash, smash and win, the more cool stuff you get. It's simple, and it works." - IGN
"In addition to the single-player career mode and the Autolog overlay, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit also has a full online multiplayer mode that allows up to eight players to team up and compete in cop and racer events. The mix of weapons allows for some real strategy online – coordinate as cops to drop spike strips ahead and then have those at the back fire EMPs. It's tough to avoid spikes when you're drifting out of control for a few seconds. Whereas Autolog provides a way to compete with your friends at everyone's leisure, the competitive online multiplayer brings everyone together for a head-to-head battle. The party system is intuitive and smooth, and you continue to build your Bounty with everything you do online. There's no split-screen multiplayer. But I played several sessions of couch-based Hot Pursuit with my fellow IGN editors, and we had a blast passing the controller back and forth." - IGN
"Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit is pure over-the-top driving entertainment. The cars and environments are gorgeous, the crashes are spectacular, and the new Autolog feature breathes new life into the time-honored tradition of video game competition among friends. The single-player races can become somewhat repetitive and there are some presentation issues, but overall, Hot Pursuit is a blast. If you’re looking for a high-octane racer that grabs on tight but doesn’t take itself too seriously, give this one a shot." - IGN
