Finally Need For Speed series came back to its old-school and awesome gameplay. I definitely feel a need for speed here.
The Bad: Some exiting cars are missing
Gameplay: 9,5/10

Overall: 9,5/10
Need For Speed series had some serious problems with gameplay. Each and every game was good but not good enough. The developers had absolutely no idea what to change in order to make Need For Speed series great once again. At last, in 2010 Criterion who made Burnout series decided to bring Need For Speed to its greatest days. In the end, they made a fantastic job.
In my opinion, this is the best NFS out now because it has everything what a good racing game should have. We have many outstanding sports, muscle and exotic cars. Chevrolet Camaro SS 2010, Ford Mustang GT500, Dodge Challenger, Lamborghini, Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Pagani Zonda, the monster itself - Bugatti Veyron and many more. You will definitely find what you want except Ferrari (I do not know why). The racing tracks are really long and exating and as well as the career mode which is nice and demanding. Many in-game options like the main Hot Pursuit mode where we need to run away from the police or try to be one brought those wonderful feelings of an old-school racing gameplay. While playing the Hot Pursuit mode we can choose if we want to play as the one who runs away or the police. We have special equipment in our car which will help us win the race and stop those who are chasing us. We have turbo boost, police signal jammer, or even spike strip. Criterion really made an awesome job because the gameplay is really fresh, but it is still a good, old Need For Speed. Each and every road has a shortcut to take but we need to be careful, becasue some of them are dead ends.
The Multiplayer mode is what this game has best. It is always fun to play a racing game with other people. The Autolog system is revolutionary, because it shows all the gameplay statistics of our friends so we can compare our results everytime and try to beat the score.
The graphics in Hot Pursuit are outstanding. The changeable weather effects, sun refelctions on the cars and on road look absolutely stunning.
The music is really nice. We have some rock, pop, hip-hop tunes which definitely suit new NFS.
Overall, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit is the best arcade racing game out now. Huge selection of great cars, beautiful graphics and nice music make the game outstanding. The Multiplayer mode with the Autolog only made it clear that Need For Speed series is on the right track.
