When Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit comes together, it does so emphatically. The racing model is not quite as arcade-like as its closest counter-part Blur, but the satisfaction of knocking a competitor off the track is just as apparent. It adds a technical edge to the gameplay that separates it from other racers. Elements of combat are introduced by car upgrades including spike-strips and EMPs.
The game's racing model is not the only source of satisfaction - the brutal cop and racer AI, alongside a menagerie of technical weapons make racing as much about wits as it is skill. There are moments when Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit is beyond sensational. Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit's single-player campaign will take around 20 hours to complete, but the title's longevity lives within the social network challenges and online multiplayer. As contacts challenge your times and eventually beat them, the game will prompt to you to fight back, adding endless replayability. Everything in the game is tracked by Criterion and used to provide dynamic challenges based on your PlayStation Network friends. Building on the foundations set by Burnout Paradise, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit is a highly social experience. Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit's biggest feature, aside from the racing itself, is Autolog. The introduction of weather and day/night cycles also add flavour and variety to the world. This is mimicked by Seacrest County itself, which spans a huge number of different environment types and locales. What's great about Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit is the variety - there are lots of different rules and racing types.

The action takes place across Seacrest County - a pseudo open world environment that's divided into a series of tracks and events. As is fairly obvious, the police campaign has you chasing down racers and testing out high performance government vehicles. When playing as a racer, you'll take part in a number of events involving outrunning police, racing other cars and completing time trials. One route places you as a racer, the other as a cop. Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit's biggest hook is its double-sided campaign. Of course, this iteration of Need For Speed isn't just about the driving, it's about the aspects of pursuit too. Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit is truer to the franchise's namesake than any of its recent incarnations, focusing squarely on its range of exotic sports cars and penchant for high speed.
Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit is a lot heavier and slower than Burnout, and it wasn't until about an hour with the game that we realised we had to alter our expectations. We expected to jump into the game, hit ridiculous speeds and twist in and out of traffic with Burnout's trademark controller response.
