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.

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"!

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 !

This is absolutely the best Need For Speed ever. I love this game not only for it's graphics but for the gameplay modes and how every other car has a brain. You have a choice of different gameplay modes which include Hot Pursuit, Championship Mode, and just racing for fun, don't forget you can be the cop and chase after computerized racers. The cops are smart in the game, they attempt to stop you in many ways; they call for helicopters that drop barrels that blow up, put down tirespikes, plant explosives on the ground, and the classic chasing and ramming into you. Best of all, you have a choice of more than 20 cars to race including Dodge Vipers, Lamborghini, Ferraris, Porsches, and even cop cars. This is how you live it with your dream car. You unlock cars on your as you progress through the game. This is a great game, and I highly reccomend it!

This game is great fun for the whole family. My son and daughter just love the game. Graphics are great. Plenty of great courses and cars to chose from. Love the head to head competition. Also, the game also a player to be the cop and pursue the cars.

ok - lets get the reasons i gave it only 4 stars out of the way:
- you can't play two player with one as the cop and the other as the racer (this drawback is why the 4 stars really)
- after unlocking cars the game sometimes dosen't leave them unlocked
- crashes and bangups do not damage your car very much

now for why its a great game:
- the action is pretty real
- the handling of the cars is pretty real as well and small things like going over a wooden bridge and driving on brick roads gives 'rumble' feedback (in variable according to how 'rough' the road is of course)
- its an actual challenge
- tons of maps and tons of really awesome cars
- being the cop is really fun!
- getting away from the cops is REALLY satisfying :D
- no two cars are alike

all in all this was definitly a great buy and worth every penny for the avid car racing game enthusiast.

What can I say? EA pulled it off again!! This is an amazing game, perfect for racing fans of all ages. The scenery is gorgeous and the tracks nothing but ruthless. The thing I really like about this game is the originality. It combines normal, high-speed racing with all-out cop chases. The cars featured in this game are nothing but beautiful.... You can choose from all the favorites, like Corvette, Viper, and 911 Turbo, but also included are the exotics, like Ferraris and an Aston Martin. The music is kind of annoying, mainly head-banger rock and rap, but the sound of the engines really drowns it out. I'll wrap it up, now. This is a nice, pretty challenging racing game for all ages, and if you're looking for a heart-pounding police chase, give this game a try!!

Need for speed Hot pursuit 2 is GRE8T! The cops are cool, the cars are hot and the AI is realistic!

This game rocks!!!! It's one of the best racing games I've ever played. There are many reasons for this, and let me start with the AMAZING cars!!! From Ferraris to Lamborghinis to Mercedes...they're all there! And you actually feel the difference very strongly in their handling. It's really nice.
Then there are the tracks. There are some really easy ones for the beginner, then there are the tough, winding ones for more advanced drivers. The scenery is pretty nice and the graphics are awesome.
Then there are the Championship races and multiplayer races. I haven't tried the multiplayer ones or the internet ones, but I'm sure they're good, too.
Then there's the music, which is totally awesome; artists like Matt Regan, Hot Action Cop, Bush, Pulse Ultra and many more are featured.
Oh, and I almost forgot, the cops! They chase you and say really strange things, sometimes. "ARE YOU MESSING WITH ME???" "THIS IS THE POLICE", like we didn't know!! Anyway, so I strongly recommend this game for all you gamers and car-lovers. Play it!

I bought this game the very second it hit the stands and believe me it's worth it. The cars are to the exact real spefecation and detail. However there aren't as many different tracks as I would have liked, there are just Mirror and reversed images of a few different tracks. I hope this review was helpful in your decision on buying this great game.
