Editorial Review

Few racing games for the PlayStation can approach Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit in terms of car selection, track layout, and sheer fun. Combine the game's quality with the fact that it was added to the PlayStation's bargain Greatest Hits collection, and you have a title that deserves to be in the library of any racing fan.

Hot Pursuit gets its name from our favorite mode of gameplay, in which players try to exceed the reach of the long arm of the law by greatly exceeding the speed limit. The ultimate goal is to beat your opponent to the finish line, but usually it's hard enough just dodging oncoming traffic, swerving around police roadblocks (complete with spike strips), and trying to keep pursuit vehicles from slamming you off the road. It's nearly as fun to watch replays as it is to race, and we've only discussed one of the game's five types of play. This diverse, fast-paced racer is definitely a keeper. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

  • Nearly perfect arcade racing action
  • Nice graphics, special effects, and sounds
Cons:
  • Some modes of play are incredibly difficult
  • Can't play as the police

5.0 out of 5 stars Way Cool!, December 14, 1999
By A Customer
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Need For Speed 3 is without a doubt, the best arcade style racing game for Playstation. I nearly fell off my seat when I descovered the "Hot Persuit" mode. Cops chasing you? Fire up your Ferrari or Lamborghini and try to out-run them. The alternate camera angles are tereffic! I can't say enough great things about this game!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Need For Speed yet...., July 4, 2002
By A Customer
Need For Speed 3: Hot Pursuit is the best one of the Need For Speed series yet. You can now race in a new mode "Hot Pursuit" where you run from the cops while still racing apponents. You can now race in awesome cars like Ferrarri's, Diablo SV's, and The El Nino.

Awesome new 3D tracks like:
Hometown
Redrock Ridge
Atlantica
Rocky Pass
Country Woods
Lost Canyons
Aquatica
The Summit
Empire City

And if you enter the following cheats under the "USER NAME" option, you can access bonus levels such as:

The Room (Enter "PLAYTM")
Caverns (Enter "XCAV8")
Motorcross (Enter "XCNTRY")
Space Race (Enter "MNBEAM")
Scorpio 7 (Enter "GLDFSH")

Also, enter "SEEALL" to see all videos!

This game is so hot that i play it all the time!

Thanx 4 reading!
