4.0 out of 5 stars A Gift for the Guys (and Girls), November 23, 2002

My husband bought this game two weeks ago. Since then, every time he comes home, he turns it on and plays it for hours. Now my sons are addicted to it. Last night, my husband's friend came over with his kids. They liked the game. The bottom line: this game is fun for all ages. It will keep you entertained for hours.
There are several different cars besides Lambourginis to play with--Corvettes, Mustangs, Ferraris, Porsches, and Mercedes. You choose the style. If you get tired of those, you can opt to play as a cop, chasing down those rogue speeders. Race your opponents while trying to outrun the po-lice. Or, leave them out. There are many different options to choose from. You can customize the game however you want.
If you find that you are crashing and burning (or getting busted by the cops) more than you'd like, you can restart the game. The difficulty runs from easy to hard. Like the cars, there are several different scenes to choose from. You can race through the mountains or through the streets of a villa.
As for the graphics, I'd give that category an average rating. The mountain scene is beautiful, but it is not top-of-the-line. The sound is good, with rock and rap as the theme music. The only thing that annoyed me was the noise of the engines, which sound more like chain saws than hot rods. Other than that, I would recommend this game for any hot rod enthusiast or anyone who likes a challenge.

4.0 out of 5 stars whoa...what was that?!?, December 30, 2002

This is by far the most coolest racing game you can buy!! I can't believe how many cars you can choose from! Let me list some of my favorits: Mclaren F1 LM , Lambroghini Diablo, Ferarri 360 Spider, Corvette ZO6, Ford Mustang Cobra R, Porche 911 Turbo and last but not least, the Dodge Viper. And thats just a taste of the action! While racing, the cops might call for back up, call for a helicopter and even set up a spike strip! You can be the cop yourself and be on the lookout for racing vehicles! Go to "Championship Mode" and race against the toughest vehicles and try to win fame and fortune! So be on the lookout for the high-speed racing game "Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2"!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Racer Ever!, February 11, 2003

I picked up Hot Persuit 2 about a month ago and finally just beat all the courses with gold medals today. This game is extremely fun and very very addicting. I am making this review short and sweet. The graphics are a strong 5 stars control is a great 5 stars (varying with different cars) and overall fun simply can not be rated on a 5 star scale! I have to admit that I have not found many games that can keep my interest and actually make me want to play all day and night long, however Hot Persuit 2 has accomplished that very task and has done it very well. I recommend that absolutely anyone who likes racing games to pick this one up. Even if you aren't that big of a fan of racing games (and I admit that I am not the biggest fan of racers mysels)to buy this game! There is an excellent selection of exotic vehicles as well as plenty of things to unlock, and even the cop missions are a blast! That's all I have to say other than this. BUY THIS GAME< YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT !
