Have you ever dreamed of flying down the road at 140MPH with the cops behind you and nothing to loose but the race. That's right boys and girls no jail time and no court dates when you’re finished racing just turn the PC off. Electronic Arts brings us the next in the line of Exciting gas peddle pounding Need for Speed sequels and what better way to do it then Hot Pursuit.  Its about time EA gets back to the Need for Speed line.

Now I will start in on what I didn't like about it. First off because EA doesn't believe in giving anything away NOT EVEN DEMOS! I will be using the demo for the review. Which by the way I had to download from a file sharing program because EA has 3rd party pay sites hosting there demo downloads. This basically put me in a bad mood from the start. I spent 3 hours trying to download it legally from EA and finally gave up and Used a file sharing program for less then 10 minutes and had it. This here is something EA has to deal with or they are going to start pushing more customers away.

In the Need for speed demo they let you have 2 cars the Porsche 911 Turbo and the Ferrari 360 Spider. Both cars are fantastic but I like the Porsche better myself. You get to race in one track as a single challenge. Game play is weird just like most of the NFS games the new version always seams weird after playing the old one for so long. It took me a few days to get comfortable with the controls and start taking 1st place. There is a hole added bit of difficulty with the cops around but its nice that I am not just blasting by with 1st place every time with NFS 5 Porsche when its to easy to win its not allot of fun.

There are also a few things about game play that I dislike. Starting with damage. I think it was allot better in Porsche but they did add some cool effects like your hood and trunk lid come open if you get hit to hard. Also I would like to see the cops chase the AI people as well as me. I have been playing the game now for about 2 weeks and I have never seen an AI car pulled over, and a cop will start chasing me when there are 3 other cars in front of me.

The final thing I want to talk about is the menus. You have nowhere near as many options as in previous versions of NFS but This may just be a limitation in the demo and also I have noticed that no settings get saved but then again I am hoping that the full version will save settings. Because of the price of games nowadays I'm not sure if I will be buying this one until it hits the $10 classic rack but who knows maybe I will.
