Here you work your way up the ranks in your Wanted level, gathering an extraordinary number of cars in a ludicrous number of categories, and gaining an ever-increasing number of skills to use in particular races.
You’ve got the criminal game, where you play a boy-racer, outrunning the cops, racing against others, or trying to get best times on courses.
This is really two games in one, both playable simultaneously. The problem is, as solid as the racing here absolutely is, and as exceptionally packed with content as the game is, there’s still a feeling that it could have been slightly more.ĭespite this, the sheer volume of content is overwhelming. It’s a failure of irrelevant expectation. So when the game doesn’t do so much of what makes Paradise one of the most incessantly fun games ever to have existed, it’s not a failure of Hot Pursuit. So here you have a vast, exceptionally detailed mass of land, covered with hundreds of racing events, dotted with alternate-route short-cuts, and then embellished with a cops and robbers theme.

Criterion’s take on the long-running, boy-pleasing, cruiser-encouraging, chart-topping-despite-no-one-respecting-them series is to take its best elements – incredibly fast penis-extending cars – and drop it into much of the the Paradise framework, and indeed, engine. There’s a reason the comparison is unavoidable. I’ve been repeating this to myself as I’ve played, trying to remind me that this is an excellent entry in the Need For Speed series, and not a slightly disappointing sequel to Criterion’s previous epic racer. One of the toughest things about assessing Hot Pursuit is trying to avoid comparing it to Burnout: Paradise.
I've spent an awful lot of this week racing about its many challenges, and have clocked up enough miles to feel ready to tell you Wot I Think. Criterion's approach to the Need For Speed franchise, an all new Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, is out in the UK today.
