Despite seeing Gran Turismo 5 finally hit store shelves on November 24 (no, really!), 2010 has not been an incredible year for racing fans. Whether it's a sequel to a critically acclaimed series or a brand new intellectual property, all racing fans want is to feel the adrenalin flow through their...

Nobody could accuse Hot Pursuit of being stingy with ideas. If it's possible within the game's very narrow framework, Hot Pursuit does it. The fictional town of Seacrest County is at once frigid mountaintop and beach resort; it's farmland and big city, motorway and dirt track, bridge and tunnel.

It's been a long time since I played a Need for Speed game, even longer since I enjoyed one. I decided to ditch the franchise after the abysmal NFS Carbon, vowing never to return unless they did something special.

The Speed… The Acceleration… The Chase… Need for Speed has finally returned with not just the usual disappointing whimper many of us will have experienced with some of the more recent titles, but has triumphantly rekindled its classic origins and thrills – reappearing with the key ingredients and...

Don't let the looming Wednesday release of Gran Turismo 5 distract you -- Burnout developers Criterion Games have crafted a stellar new installment in the Need for Speed franchise that should thoroughly appease high-octane arcade racing aficionados.

Incredibly exciting throughout, with a wide variety of event types; Autolog redefines the social experience for console racers; stellar presentation throughout with very accessible user interfaces

I'm not really sure who to thank for the genius decision to put Criterion up for development duties on Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. An unseen executive at EA perhaps, tired of seeing the same balance sheet and terrible sales for EA's most famous ritually abused racing series.

The latest in a long lived franchise screeches into town, slipping by a roadblock, dodging an EMP blast and taking a dodgy off-road shortcut. Let us forgo the clever intro and enigmatic question, let us cut to the chase – Need For Speed Hot Pursuit is a great arcade racer.

A MUST BUY! THE BEST RACING GAME ON THE PLANET! The game is just a Jaw-Dropper! You take on the career as a cop or racer. There is a lot of cars to choose from. And Finally, we get to be the cops! Rating: 10/10 for gameplay. Very good graphics. Excellent details in the graphics.

What little boy does not dream of climbing in behind the wheel of a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport or a Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S This is possible, at least virtually, in the latest Need for Speed.

Great graphics; realistic handling; great tunes and very replayable

Annoying lights and sirens in police missions; sometimes to hard
