Need For Speed Hot Pursuit turns 10 years old in 2020, and EA is cashing in on the anniversary with a brand new remaster. Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered, originally developed by Criterion Games with additional work for the remaster put in by Stellar Entertainment, does a fine job capturing what made the original stand: rock-solid driving, a bevy of gorgeous cars to choose from, and beautiful crashes, all while offering noticeable improvements in terms of environments and graphics.

The central hook for Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered is the ability to play as both sides of the law in the illegal street racing scene of the fictional Seacrest County. As a racer, you are driving Lamborghini’s, Porsche’s, and Dodge Charger’s across miles of road in races littered with shortcuts and police waiting to take you down. On the other side, playing as a cop tasks you with taking down said racers and competing in time trials to see how quickly you can respond to the scene of a crime. Most of the game will be played in Career mode, but in addition to multiplayer there is also a free roam for those who want to drive around, get the lay of the land, and take photos with their cars.

Final Thoughts:

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered is a fine remaster of one of the best Need For Speed games ever made.
