This game is addicting to kids and adults. You have the choice of picking different tracks, cars and levels. It's pretty easy to use and is far from boring. It does have some sexy looking girls in it which I don't think is approriate for kids under 10 but they're not revealing so I wouldn't consider that a show-stopper. It's one of my son's favorite games.

a great racing game!!!

especially the police chase parts!!!
if you lose them by driving down an alley at the last minute then
they say "this guy's going to kill somebody!! i'm ending pursuit now..please acknowledge!!!" that's my favorite part the controls are good not too loose i've someother racing games and they were a little too loose but they were ok and this one's no exception!!!

A Very Nice Game

What can I say? EA pulled it off again!! This is an amazing game, perfect for racing fans of all ages. The scenery is gorgeous and the tracks nothing but ruthless. The thing I really like about this game is the originality. It combines normal, high-speed racing with all-out cop chases. The cars featured in this game are nothing but beautiful.... You can choose from all the favorites, like Corvette, Viper, and 911 Turbo, but also included are the exotics, like Ferraris and an Aston Martin. The music is kind of annoying, mainly head-banger rock and rap, but the sound of the engines really drowns it out. I'll wrap it up, now. This is a nice, pretty challenging racing game for all ages, and if you're looking for a heart-pounding police chase, give this game a try!!

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.
Ryan :-p

The only problem is frame-rate. Like Gadgester said, it does drop low, especially when you are driving fast. Unlike what he said, it doesn't drop THAT low. Much fun involved, addicting, and I see why it is a Player's Choice game. Police have strategies to take you down. Plus choppers and roadblocks. If they really feel like it, spike strips. If you want to see it at a police point-of-view, you can! Just press down on the D-pad to contact the office and start the pursuit. The other directions are for roadblocks, planes, and extra units. You can only use each one of those 3 times. Anyways, just buy!

Best NFS game EVER!

I have not yet played Need for Speed Underground 1 or 2 yet, but this game is entertaining within itself. You can be the cop and chase down and bust the bad guys or you can be the speeders and try not to get busted. This mode of play will keep you playing for hours. Not to mention you also have single player mode where you race against the computer in championships and try to earn money so that you can unlock other tracks and lots of great cars! Me and my whole family enjoy this game, and have not yet got bored with it.

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.
