Summary

Completely idotic and unneccesary.

The Good

Uhh, let's see. Erm, uh, :-/

The Bad

Pretty much everything about this game disgraces Hot Pursuit 2, making this game nothing but the mere Black Sheep of the Need For Speed series. How am I supposed to get excited about the ability to modify some piece of crap like a VW hatchback!? I'd much rather take Hot Pursuit 2's holy grails like the Lamborghini Murcielago or at least a Viper. It seems paradoxic to me how, if this "need for speed" is so omniscent, why the hell do you start out with cars that seem to defy speed themselves?

The very first event is basically you racing with one of the "good" cars: a modified Acura Integra. Huh??? And then after that soul draining experience, this little, obnoxoius slut comes up to you and says, "So that's your fantasy?" Yes, you idiot, I've always wanted to drive a piece of crap economy car with annoying stickers on it. Then she aks you what your car is, and you can buy a bunch of laughable choices like a VW hatchback, Honda Civic, a Peugeot, and other cars any human would find lame. And once you buy something, the racers all start insulting you and calling you a loser! WTF!?!?! And so Ms. Fake says to you, "Here, let me help." And she doesn't help. Then you get into race 2, where some creepy dude says, "YO! I'ma gonna helps u! I got yer back!" And he doesn't really do anything. And then you prepare yourself to immerse in the world of lame cars that idiots love.

The Bottom Line

A hypocritical and completely evil game that slaps Hot Pursuit 2 across the face.
