Re: Need For Speed Hot Pursuit: Official Impressions Thread

Can you please provide more detail? I should be getting it later today so I'll post what I can.

How is it offline? I don't play online much, what do you like about it?

Thanks!

Very good carer on both sides. I love the handling of the cars gives it a nice burnout touch. Huge map over 100+ miles of driving which i love. Great selection of cars.
The events are spread out in different series or locations each location somtimes having 4 to 5 races in it. Nice solid offline gameplay IMO. I love playing online so i love the autolog. Autolog is just flat out awesome i love it. I Hope this helps.

Can you give us more details, everything your saying is stuff you can find out from the DEMO in Best Buy stores, since it's so open and lengthy.

Give us some info that's not in the demo.

Ok I just played a good hour of it (strictly off-line). Love it!

First and foremost the NFS is just a title, under the hood (no pun intended) its all Burnout.

The handling is arcade, entirely, but not as sensitive as Burnout Paradise. Drifts are very easy, acceleration is easy to attain (with the right car) and I haven't found the AI very challenging.

You can also seamlessly switch from Cop to Racer(?) on the main map and events/cars unlock as you pass missions. Very structured (the only difference from Burnout Paradise).

There's also free roam and you unlock gadgets as you proceed. Also cars very easily unlockable (got like 6 cars in 30 mind I suck!)

I know its not much but I'm not really good at this, if y'all have any questions (single player only) free free to post.

On question answered please....

And that cleared the room of people who "have" the game. I should get this tomorrow if TRU has NBA Jam as well.

Sorry about the delay folks, I am a good 8-11 hours ahead of some you guys.

I didn't try the online sorry. Offline is pure joy though, weather effects are amazing and the graphics have this "bright and colorful" look to them. Crashes are pretty fantastic too not as detailed as Paradise but way better than most.

No wheel support for ps3, it may deter me from purchasing.

I got my copy, super pumped. I will probably start messing around with it tonight.

Bought it..most likely will sell it. Coming from a Burnout angle...the 30 fps and sense of speed just aren't there for me.

I will proceed to crush all your times....this isn't Geometry Wars.

But it's NFS not Burnout...

jms you shouldn't make these types of challenges. It will only end in pain for you.
