Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 Critic Reviews

Between its ripping sense of speed, edge-of-the-seat gameplay, and impressively original and deep features, glorious PS2 debut just smokes.

Hot Pursuit not only gives you the keys to more than 20 exotic cars, it also gives you the unsurpassed joy of leaving traffic cops in the dust.

Brings together all the best bits from every other driving game of the past five years.

Has everything I've ever wanted from a sports car racing game: Cool rides, some of the best engine noises ever committed to a gaming sountrack and most importantly, a sense of incredible speed and power.

From the second that they catch you in their radar, these boys are all over you like white on rice and these guys are not afraid of trading paint to put you into a guardrail or two. Just getting through the course without getting pinched is an accomplishment in itself.

The soundtrack is exceptional, offering rock and techno play-lists, and a fully customizable jukebox feature letting you filter any tunes or even whole genres however you like.

One of the most wicked arcade-racing games I've ever played.

Very few racing games in the past few years have actually been thoroughly invigorating, and this title comes through in the clutch to deliver a singular racing experience that is nearly unmatched.

The best arcade racer to hit the PS2. With it's combination of really fun gameplay, good delivery, terrific tracks and robust modes, this is definitely worthy of gracing the collection of any console racing fan.

An amazing game, which is much better than its predecessors on the PC.

Quite simply, the best arcade racer in years and a worthy follow-up to its PlayStation granddaddy...if you have a PS2, that is.

Strangely, the best version is on the least-powerful hardware.

It's fast, furious and one of the best times I've had playing vid in a long time.

It has an excellent reward structure to keep the player motivated through all of those challenges.

To be dead honest with you all, I can’t think of a single major flaw in this game.

Phenomenal tracks, control, and police interaction combine to create one of the most unique and challenging arcade racers ever - and the best on PS2.

The best arcade racing game available for the PlayStation 2.

Others, like myself, will instantly fall in love with the intense adrenaline rush of the chase, and be able to play this game all day and night.

It might lack the polish to be genius, but there aren't many more enjoyable or expansive driving games.

Not only one of the best games in this long-running series, but also one of the fastest, most visceral, and most polished racing games currently available for Sony's console.
