hi i am Andrew I am 13 and I got a game cube for my 13th birthday so far i have 2 game on of them is this. first of all all of the cars in this game are real cars not like the one that are in like hotwheel games that are made up. the cars are...lotus...ople speedster(there are about 3more of the same looking cars in the game of the speedster)a ford mustang (remember there are afew more cars becasue I cant remember all of them) a viper..corvet..porshe...aston martin v12(in the james bond movie)
3 farraries..two mclarens (my faveroite and they are the fastest cars on the came 2 mercedees...2 lamborghnies( one of them is on the cover theyellow one.) and that is all I remember but I know there is more. ok now lets get on with eating pankakes.....wait sorry lets get on with all the tecnical stuff 1.fun 100/10

sorry that was not to iformitive.

1. 10/10 grafics there is glares of of cars smoke when your car is dameged and every thing looks butiful. but the bushes are 2d blah blah balh.....blah

2. 10/10sound. great sound, roar of the car, crashing, cops, sreeching when take a tight turn blah.

3. 9/10 controls. it is a little hard when you first try it but you will get the hang of it and somtimes when you are going really fast if you try to make a turnyou will spin out of control like a regular car would do

and last but not first (I am a nut in real life but I should have
added this note when i said pancake)

4.9/10load time you just have to wait like ten seconds

the cashing is very fun. the cops will try to push you over (hint pushe them over and they will lose ya) they will send out hellicopters that dorp bombs that flip you over so you will get cought, road blaks witch is not that big of a deal, backupmuch more danger that one cop because they will ram you over and one will get infront of you and one will get behinde you so you can't get away, and then the there are spikes you run over them you are busted (tip stay on the dirt untill you pass what looks like a road block withe a red line(they are the spikes) on the road.

well I hope you like my review click more about me I have rated other vidio games and I will be writing more for game cube.

pancake....i mean bye

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 for Gamecube Review

Well, well, well. Overall, it is a very fun game, but if you would like to beat it, you better have some serious time on your hands. Each race takes about 5 minutes. I only play for about an hour every day. Each race takes about a few times, like three, to get the hang of. So, you multiply 5 times three is fifteen. I can only beat 4 races each day. There are a lot. So, you better have som time on your hands.
Beyond that, it is an excellent game. It has a very limited replay value, but it will provide you with a whole bunch of entertainment. The cops are great. You can avoid them, but sometimes they can be pretty tough to. The game doesn't throw you into the hardest level there is right off the bat.
I would buy this game if was under, say, $25.

I think the game's awesome! It has really nice cars, and tracks. There's cops that will chase you and it's not like once a cop starts to chase you, your done for. You can lose the cop, and the chase will get more intense as it goes along. Plus in some races you can be the cop chasing the racers. You've got to try this game if you love high speed races.

need for speed, hot pursuit 2

this is a pretty cool game, but if you get bored easily...dont buy it. i bought a steering wheel for it so it makes the game more interesting...the normal controller made it boring... rent it first thats what i did!!

Lots of technical problems

Need for Speed is the only game (or family of games) that I've played for almost ten years. I still recall fondly the first version that came out on the original Playstation. It was such a technical and entertaining breakthrough back then.

The present version for Gamecube is, unfortunately, quite a significant letdown. Maybe it's because I played it after playing Burnout 3 for the Xbox, an outstanding arcade racer that packs tons of action with impressive graphics. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, on the other hand, feels very lame. The framerate is the most serious problem: even on an empty open road, the graphics can become jerky. When you have cops on your tail and a couple other cars on the road, the framerate can drop so low that the game is almost unplayable for a second or two. This just gives a frustrating experience.

The graphics is also lacking, compared to Gran Turismo and Burnout and other outstanding racing games. I don't think it's a problem with Gamecube's processing power; other racing games have better graphics on the GC than Need for Speed. It's apparently because EA uses the Need for Speed series as a cash cow, to hook long-time fans such as yours truly, and they just don't invest much in improving the game's look and feel. Three or four years ago this game's graphics would have been acceptable, but not in today's crowded racing game marketplace.

Car physics is also annoying for an arcade game like this. Burnout 3 has the perfect arcade, non-realistic physics which makes controlling your cars and racing so much fun and enjoyable. Need for Speed, on the other hand, turns into a rather frustrating experience.

In short, this game sucks.

A Nice game

This is one of the best NFS games so far ever since Porsche Unleashed when it comes to graphics. Nothing to say the cars are cool, but you find it difficult to reach speeds of over 200+ mph. There is plenty of staright but to me the cars takes their time to reach higher speeds execpt the last 6 cars but don't get mad because the games states that the Mclaren F1 goes over 240 Mph but the maxinm I push it was 196Mph both versions of this car.But if you are good try manual transmission with NFS Edition of the Mercedes Benz CLK GTR. The tracks are okay but what I miss is the weather options that would the racing better instead of clear skies. Not enough courses to really test speed like Porsche Unleashed had. Just like Porsche Unleashed the traffic cars look cheap and small and when you hit them you get damage and they don't. No upgrades option like the previous games to make the cars go faster. The pursuit mode are intense sometimes the cops will try anything to take you down so pay close attention to what they say because sometimes they will switch their actions and your busted! I would give this game 5 stars but when EA games decides to put back the weather and upgraded options then the next game would get 5 stars

What a great game

I bought this game the very second it hit the stands and believe me it's worth it. The cars are to the exact real spefecation and detail. However there aren't as many different tracks as I would have liked, there are just Mirror and reversed images of a few different tracks. I hope this review was helpful in your decision on buying this great game.

A good racing game but not up to NEED FOR SPEED quality

This is probably the best racing game out for gamecube right now, but it's nothing like the other need for speed games. First of all, its missing three essential items that made NEED FOR SPEED games famous; damage, in car view, and the whole race-get-money-buy-car-repair-car-sell-car setup. This is a great game but dont expect anything as good as the first.
