I remember fondly how i downloaded the demo for this on Xbox 360 back in the day and i loved it but never came around to actually play the full version.

As i was in the mood for some racing and NfS i played this finally and i feel mixed about it.

While the fast paced arcade racing action with the exciting heists and Hot Pursuits (name drop lmao) are really fun, the game kinda lacks different stuff to do.

Yeah there are several modes and you can play as the racer or police but lookint at the sheer tone of events to complete this game, it is getting kinda repetitive. And since the races are just segments of a big overarching map, the tracks are also repeating themselves.

In another it's also cool to drive tracks in reverse or just segements of them and going into different directions at some point. But overall the game overstays its welcome a little.

Despite that NfS Hot Pursuit still manages to sometimes get me into the zone and just drive with tunnelvision and make me feel like a racing god when drifting perfectly, evading everything and finishing 1st.

And the graphics are nicely remastered too! So good, but too samey.
