Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit

[Diligence109]

I was considering writing a review about this game but never got around to it... I personally was incredibly let down by the game. Your review covers most of the meat of what's in the game - nice work outlining it all!

I was just perturbed when the game featured Burnout gameplay mechanics in most every departments - from level selection, car customization (or lack thereof,) the Burnout NOS/Boost mechanic (nos is awarded through near misses, oncoming, drifting, slipstreaming, etc,) and the physics/handling scheme that's designed to work for nice long straights and nothing else.

I bought what I thought was a Need For Speed title and got Burnout 4 instead :\ it's a decent racer in that light, but the title on the jewel case was rather misleading :P

I find that I rather spend my time playing LoL even after dumping $60 into this game; and LoL is free.

See, I see the Need for Speed games and Burnout to be similar in a lot of ways, and I like both of them very much.

I myself haven't played Burnout at all; I also haven't played any of the latest NFS games. Two that have caught my eye in the past year or so though has actually been Hot Pursuit and Shift.
Shift 2 looks like it's gunna be pretty awesome too. They're those types of games for me though, that always get bumped down the list when other games of higher, personal preference come out

Shift 2 did look pretty intense, but the trailer left me sort of confused. And it doesn't seem like a traditional Need for Speed, more like a Nascar game.

It does seem more officially track based, yeah. But, if you want anything clearing up, I'd check up with Hamada, he seems like he is the racing genre expert ^_^

However, I do agree that it isn't like the traditional NFS games... Although, I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing

I guess not, but I really like the Need for Speed feel, and I feel like anything other than that or maybe Burnout isn't all that great. They have a good thing here, don't ruin it.

True. I suppose there is limited room as well for another realistic racer, when you have Forza, GRiD, GT and arguably the DiRT franchise.
