If there ever was a game that makes you want to die, this is this game. The game is horribly unrealistic and unfair. The police always go after you and never the opponents. You would have a much better time playing with a remote control car that has a dead battery. The moment I got rid of this game everything in my life started going better. I won the lottery, Jennifer Lopez fell in love with me, and I was elected to president. So, if you want this game, there is no hope for you.

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.

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.

Excellent Game--Questionable Graphics

This game is great. Lots of great cars, and I especially love being in pursuit. However, the game's major flaw is graphics. The FPS (frames per second) is just way to slow and entirely unacceptable for such a poweful machine as the Cube. The actual cars and scenery are beautiful, but if you're driving over a hill, or too many cars are around, the frame rate drops. Despite this major flaw (in my eyes) it is a terrific game with lots of replay value. Definitely a must to rent, a maybe to buy.

Ths is game is the best out of the NFS line

This game is pretty good. the graphics are awesome. there are only a few drawbacks, first of all, its not very long. You don't really "beat" racing games, but i did pretty much everything there was to do in about a week. it didn' take me long at all. and another drawback is that there arn't very many cars. they advertise that there are a whole 20 cars. woopty-doo. anyways. other than the fact that the game is petty short and that there aren't very many cars this game is pretty good

My husband bought this game two weeks ago. Since then, every time he comes home, he turns it on and plays it for hours. Now my sons are addicted to it. Last night, my husband's friend came over with his kids. They liked the game. The bottom line: this game is fun for all ages. It will keep you entertained for hours.
There are several different cars besides Lambourginis to play with--Corvettes, Mustangs, Ferraris, Porsches, and Mercedes. You choose the style. If you get tired of those, you can opt to play as a cop, chasing down those rogue speeders. Race your opponents while trying to outrun the po-lice. Or, leave them out. There are many different options to choose from. You can customize the game however you want.
If you find that you are crashing and burning (or getting busted by the cops) more than you'd like, you can restart the game. The difficulty runs from easy to hard. Like the cars, there are several different scenes to choose from. You can race through the mountains or through the streets of a villa.
As for the graphics, I'd give that category an average rating. The mountain scene is beautiful, but it is not top-of-the-line. The sound is good, with rock and rap as the theme music. The only thing that annoyed me was the noise of the engines, which sound more like chain saws than hot rods. Other than that, I would recommend this game for any hot rod enthusiast or anyone who likes a challenge.
