Ryan takes the PS3 version out for a test drive… Stuff hurtles past you at blinding speed trees, fences, livestock.
Oh, and just to add to the terror, someones set the chair on fire.
Thats the kind of feeling you get fromNeed For Speed: Hot Pursuits blinding, unsettling turn of speed.
This is racing so mind-meltingly fast that its mildly stressful.
For EA,Hot Pursuitis the culmination of its multi-game rejuvenation of its ageingNeed For Speedfranchise.
Like Criterions other racers,Hot Pursuiteschews subtlety, strategy or driving finesse for extended bouts of dangerous driving.
The racing lines and cerebral vehicle tuning ofGT5are left far, far behind.
To even the odds against competitors and the law, there are a few weapons.
Eventually, youll crash.
WithHot Pursuit,Criterion has taken the arcade racer genre and honed it to almost faultless perfection.
Few other driving games are as gratifying, or as pulse quickening.
