Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2

[Guest Youre Gonna Learn]

Yeah, so I'm about to head out and purchase this game. Has anyone already played it? I hear it's the "Gran Turismo of arcade racing", which is quite the compliment.

 

So, discuss the Need For Speed series.

I tried the demo for Ps2, and let me tell you, the game looks good. The graphics are damn good, and the racing is awesome. The police chases are extreme. Helicopters drop barrels onto you to slow you down. It is a must buy.

Just got the game today, haven't played it that much, but it is awesome. The only downside to it is that it's really easy unless you really ramp up the difficulty

According to the gaming mags, the PS2 version is far superior to either the GC or XBOX version.

 

How'd that happen?

[Guest El Psycho Diablo]

It's EA, right?

 

They do nothing to up the graphics on superior consoles. So a PS2 port on the Xbox will still look like a PS2 port.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

I don't think it had to do with graphics, they just said that it plays faster, tighter and better all around.

[Guest El Psycho Diablo]

Who knows, then? Could be EA just slapped it to the other two systems without tweaking it any.

[Guest Insane Bump Machine]

They used a different engine for the GCN, PC and XBOX versions. The PS2 engine was developed by another team. Don't ask me why, it's EA.

I wonder if EA will give wrestling games another try? *shudders*

[Guest crandamaniac]

I think they're making that Def Jam Wrestling game, in conjunction with AKI, the makers of the N64 WWF games.
