This game is great fun for the whole family. My son and daughter just love the game. Graphics are great. Plenty of great courses and cars to chose from. Love the head to head competition. Also, the game also a player to be the cop and pursue the cars.

Great game

This is a great racing game. I just got the gamecube and this is the game I've spent the most time on. There are three main modes of play: Hot Pursit, Championship, and Single Challenge. The hot pursit is you racing against other cars (in most cases) with traffic and cops trying to run you off the road. This mode is challenging, but great fun. The Championship mode is just you and other racers. No traffic, no cops. This is more a skill of racing. The Single Challenge is where you can set the parameters for practicing or racing against a friend. This is also where you can unlock cars and tracks after gaining points from the other two modes.

The only reason I didn't not give this five stars: I would like to see my best lap times for each track.

Besides that, if you like racing games. Get this!!

This game is awesome!

Hello, I am David Lang, I am ten years old and I think this game is great! I have never played a game with cops, heli's, and roadblocks! This is the best racing game I have ever played, and I thought it was a great idea because it is so realistic! I have never played a racing game so REAL!

Great NFS game

Definintly as good as Underground, amzing cars with exellent speed, if I had to make one change to underground it would be to have different cars like Porsche, Lamborghini, Mercedes, BMW, etc. I would have the cars in this game in underground, amazing tracks (variety, the only thing is it can sometimes be boring after you are great at this game, overall an awesome game!

best game EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought this game like 3-4 days after it came out...since I had a gamecube I decided that i would check it out, it wasn't a sure thing for me because i heard that the gamecube version was the (dare i say it) worst out of all the systems Need For Speed games. So anyways, when i got home i decided to pop the disc in and see how it was. I was extremely impressed about the opening act and how good the graphics were... I didn't see any framerate problems at all. Who said the cars were slow, if they were any faster, you'd probably need a couple of fats guys to weigh the car down so it wouldn't get airborne, YES IT IS THAT FAST.

NOTE: I haven't played the X Box or PS2 versions of the game yet! But if u have a gamecube, at least rent it, u won't regret it! -later

Rev Up The Cops

It really surprises me when it really comes to video games. They always simply stay easily the same. The games have improved slightly, but not heavily on approval during the years of racing. However, one brand name really has taken into view during the past several years, Need For Speed. Surely, electronic Arts has done a magnificent job making it one of the top racing series games of all time. Yet, they just sometimes surprise me about what kind of a racing game they have lined up for the consoles next time around. Arguably, it also proved to have a good start with the Playstation, and the sequel, the PS2. Arguably, when it hit the skidmarks on the Nintendo Gamecube, you really ddin't know what to rev up.

Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, is the sequel to the widely acclaimed Need For Speed 3. Arguably, this is a much more deserved sequel than the previous sequel, Need For Speed: High Stakes. That game really wasn't a real beaten path. This game goes well beyond the other ones, as you rev up with a vast amount of courses and cars to choose from. The game features about a dozen different kinds of courses and cars to choose from, once you earn enough points, you can access these tools widely well. The game also includes a really exciting amount of different ways to play. You can play Hot Pursuit mode, which really is a test to see if you really are one step ahead from the cops, regular tournament mode, where whoever scores the highest amount of points with a number of races wins, lap knockout mode, where if you're last within any lap of the race, you're out, and regular single race mode. The graphics on this game are also amazing, and the vast amount of cars to unlock also goes beyond extreme, as you can unlock cars from all over the world, including the Mercedes XTR, Porsche Carerra GT, and many more exoticas to choose from.

There is a downside to this version for the Nintendo Gamecube. Unlike its other counterpart version, Playstation 2 and Xbox, you can't access new cars that easily through codes. Here, you really have to do it the old fashion way in the process by gaining points to welcome the new fleet of races. Still it is well worth the gamble here, where cheats have to be the earned here, not coded up. Arguably, that is a downside to its part, but the courses and the challenges to unlock are well worth that failure Electronic Arts conjured.

This arguably is one of the best racing games ever to come out. Although many people may want to buy the recent, Need For Speed: Underground, they could do so, but this one os truly a must have for all racers alike. This truly is a must have for the Nintendo Gamecube, only if you have the Gamecube, and not the other video game systems.

not bad!

the gameplay and the cars are great. However, there are a couple things that bug me: the spikes strips are annoying. I can't tell you how many times I've been in first place and in my glory, ran over a spikes strip that basicially covers the entire road. you should be able to continue going on the race, but at a reduced speed. also, the graphics are a little cheesey. The cars are pretty good looking, and so is the beginning movie. That's about all. This game still has those corny looking backgrounds that almost look like a flat sheet, or a picture. But when you're going dowm a straightaway with a jump right ahead of you in your McLaren F1 LM, the last thing you will bw thinking about is the flat background.I like the opal speedster. cool lookin car. not the fastest, but best handling. Too bad Opals cant be in the U.S.(some stipid bumper regulation)Well, anyway, I'm hooked on NFS HP2. I also must say that for a racing game, it has an excellent replay value. The two player adds to the replay value. I reccomend picking this game up used for a must cheaper price, there seem to be a lot on amazon for a good price. Overall, four out of five stars

The NEED for SPEED!!!

This game rocks!!!! It's one of the best racing games I've ever played. There are many reasons for this, and let me start with the AMAZING cars!!! From Ferraris to Lamborghinis to Mercedes...they're all there! And you actually feel the difference very strongly in their handling. It's really nice.
Then there are the tracks. There are some really easy ones for the beginner, then there are the tough, winding ones for more advanced drivers. The scenery is pretty nice and the graphics are awesome.
Then there are the Championship races and multiplayer races. I haven't tried the multiplayer ones or the internet ones, but I'm sure they're good, too.
Then there's the music, which is totally awesome; artists like Matt Regan, Hot Action Cop, Bush, Pulse Ultra and many more are featured.
Oh, and I almost forgot, the cops! They chase you and say really strange things, sometimes. "ARE YOU MESSING WITH ME???" "THIS IS THE POLICE", like we didn't know!! Anyway, so I strongly recommend this game for all you gamers and car-lovers. Play it!

Best NFS game EVER!
