Great Game |
| Enlightened from Denver - USA says (18/Nov/2002): |
Game is great...nuff' said.
In regards to a few people speaking of replay value, here is a few things to ponder. This game was designed for mplayer action. Talking trash to your friends etc... Not single player. The Mustang and Camaro suck, their American made cars, nuff' said. Comparing GTA3 with HP2 is well stupidity at its finest. One is a sim the other is not. My gosh is the gaming market of people this stupid? :::sigh:::

Exactly what I wanted. |
| A gamer from Houston says (4/Nov/2002): |
Just got the game and played it for almost 2 hours. I love it. The graphics kick ass and the selection of vehicles is great. I also like that they have a MUSTANG as the pursuit vehicle cause as we all know SLOWMAROS BITE! At least the cops can chase you with something that has 390hp rather than 340.

Good, but not good enough |
| A gamer from Toronto says (31/Oct/2002): |
Hot pursuit 2 is a solid game, however, i wish people would stop comparing it to Gran turismo 3... gt3 has far superior graphics and realistic gameplay, compared to hp2's controls. the real feature that sells this game is the police pursuits, but a rusty old crown vic as the pursuit vehicle!? come on!!! put the caprice ltz or the new impala in there! and the svt pursuit!? please, a RRRRRRRRustang as a pursuit car, the camaro is the true top of the line cop car.

Satisfactory game |
| Wheelman from canada says (26/Oct/2002): |
This game is great for its realistic AI and variety of vehicles. The problems are the horrible steering and the replays arent that great; it just shows the exact cameras that you used in the race! the graphics are choppy but has great detail in reflections and the people driving the cars. I still recommend Burnout for an awesome racing experience.

Things Look Grime Now |
| Spanked Up from S'pore says (25/Oct/2002): |
The NFS series is truly amazing.It has satisfied the race-thirsty players for years. They took a new step foward with the release of NFS HP2. But to my disapointment, NFS HP2 wasn't very original.Yes,it is good because of the cutting edge graphics and sounds. But almost the whole game has changed. The game lost all originality except for the main event which is the Hot Pursuit. Even the Hot Pursuit event is going the wrong way, it seems to be overdone. The once a original racing game has become a game with cutting edge graphics and of no replay value.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 |
| Aaron from Lawrenceville (GA) USA says (24/Oct/2002): |
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 is by far the best racing game out. It bypasses Grand Turismo A Spec without even looking back. The graphics are superb. When you look back sometimes, you can actually see the person inside the car shift gears. The overall game play is excellent. Top of the line cars and everything. I don't know how it handles on other systems but for the PS2 this game is awesome.

The Best Game Ever Made!! |
| Mike from NY,USA says (22/Oct/2002): |
Wow all i have to say is oh my god! The best game ever made in video game history. The graphics are very very good! It kicks in the action like a movie.

Should have stuck with the techno soundtrack, but AWESOME |
| Jeremy Lassner from Las Vegas, Nevada, USA says (19/Oct/2002): |
Well, first off I'd like to tell people to stop compairing the xbox version to the ps2 one. Graphicly, xbox will be superior cause of a 700mhz processor compaired to the ps2's 300. I say the ps2 is superior because it's a less powerful processor and still plays better. Anyways...I think this game is one of the best racers around. It's taking a bunch of cars, which if you are like me are out of reach to actually buy, and drive them to the limit and beyond. I think they should have stuck with the techno soundtrack like from the games of it's past. Other than that, this game ROCKS. Thank you EA for finally bringing back the game for consoles. Keep up the great work.
|
All I gotta say it WOW!!!!!!!!! |
| Steve from Warren, MI. USA says (19/Oct/2002): |
Well, I just got the game yesterday and it is by far the best game I've played for PS2. I think it compares to the Grand Theft Auto 3(and that game was sweet). The graphics are outstanding and the cars as so... sweet. They should of put some better music in the game but I think everything else just beats out the music. Overall this game is a real plus for the PS2!

not enough replay value :-/ |
| Zach_ZT4 from Illinois, USA says (16/Oct/2002): |
Well, I started this game on Sunday, October 6th. Now, either i'm just really good at video games, or the game is not hard enough. It may be a combination of both. In my opinion, the game is not long enough. I've already unlocked all the 49 cars, and I've unlocked all the tracks, and beaten all the events. Now keep in mind, I did this in between hanging out with friends and still going to school, and working, and sleep, and lots of homework. And the game only took me a week and 3 days to complete. In my opinion, that's not long enough. I went through all the events without having to retry them. The hardest thing was trying to get a race with 8 clean laps, but i did it on my first try. Is anyone else having this problem, because it might just be me... anyway, the ps2 version IS better than the Xbox because the Xbox version will start to get choppy when a lot of stuff is going on, whereas the ps2 will not. So, if you thought this game was easy, too, please e-mail me at Zach_ZT4< remove me > at hotmail.com This is a great game, but just a little too easy for me... later on...

Better and Better |
| A gamer from Alabama, USA says (13/Oct/2002): |
This game is obviously going to be better than the other NFS games graphic wise, but the gameplay is really good. But there are some things that I think are missing: Only player 1 can be the cop in You're A Cop mode, it should definately be a coop or something. Not as big of a variety of makes of cars than there should have been and whats up with having to unlock all the other cars and tracks some of those shouldn't have to be unlocked. Also I think NFS should have used some of the same tracks and cars from the old games. There should also be a larger variety of colors for the cars. There isn't really a good Championship mode or whatever.Anyway overall its the best racing game i have played in a long time, but NFS just listen to allthese people and make a number 3 very soon with us in mind.

ASS KICKING HIGH SPEED FUN! |
| Jesse Forbes from New Holland, Pennsylvania, USA says (13/Oct/2002): |
Need for Speed HP2 is unbeleivably fun game i've played this year, normaly i'm not interested in racing but i saw this one at the store and thought i'd give it a go and I LOVE IT!!! If you are thinking or are a skeptic for racing then get this game and you'll be blown away!

XBOX IS BETTER |
| Mook-Stank from Mother fuckin U.S says (12/Oct/2002): |
from playing both ps2 and xbox versions i find the xbox version a hell of alot better than ps2 i mean the graphics are alot smother and theres hardly as many poly's to be seen as in ps2. oh and another thing is the scores for the xbox version not ps2
|
The Gameplay Is outstanding it will leave you sitting for hours |
| Playa _420 from Mukilteo,WA USA says (11/Oct/2002): |
Need for speed HP2 is unbelieveably the most fun game to play if you like speed this is the game to play/buy the graphics are 100% better then any of the rest, i suggest this game to thousands of race fans, thing i like most about the game is how there is challenge,some of the racing games are easy and take no time what so ever to beat, but this game offers the diffiulty to fit any racers taste. Another thing about the game is the levels and open roads i mean it sucks to just stay on the road and hit the rails or something, but a optional path is always nice to have, plus the air you catch and the camara angles when you catch big air it is like The Matrix it's fat. Overall this game gets a deffinate 10.Also the game features the cop chase, the hellicopter is a new effect that is awsome, its like all outs on Cops on Tv where they have a hellicopter overhead that is a cool effect that made the game just that much cooler, the spike strips are better detailed, and its realistic when you pop a tire the sparks fly all over, slowing you down but not to a complete stop unless you let go of the button but if you keep pressing the button and trying to go you just might be sucsessful. Good job on the game you guys did outstanding!

This game rocks! |
| The Racing Kid from New Jersey says (11/Oct/2002): |
Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2 (NFS2) is the best game ever! I thought Gran Turismo 3 (GT3) was good but compared to this GT3 sucks. I have one complaint about this game though not enough cars. The graphics in NFS2 are amazing, the sound is a bit sketchy though. I recommend this game to anyone and everyone. I like the part with the cops they are awesome! They ram you, put spike strips out and have helicopters chase you down and drop barrels in front of you! The one bad part about the cops is that the helicopter can drop spike strips right in front of you. You're the cop mode is simply the best. I got the Lamborghini Murcielago cop car up to 247 mph! The McLaren F1 is awesome it's kinda tough to unlock though. I have 28 of the 49 cars unlocked and all are awesome. I was wondering if any body had a car list of the cars though? I will make one up when I unlock them all. I used exactly 200 words. Until then I'll keep on racing and one more question for all of you. Do YOU feel the Need For Speed? I used exactly 200 words like they said to.

Amazing game, but with a few dumb issues. |
| Jose Thomas from Millis, MA says (6/Oct/2002): |
This game is absolutely amazing. I've owned all the Need For Speed game series from the first one on the PC. The graphics are unbelievable. Hooked up to a 50” tv, the jaggies which affect some PS2 games are easily visible. No big deal though. With most other racing games, you just know how fast you’re going by looking at the speedometer. In this game, you can actually feel it. Since the PS2 is powerful enough to render all the graphics, the car actually seems fast. I don’t understand why the main menus are slow. I figured it was a scratched disc or something, but it wasn’t. I guess others are having this problem. No big deal, but EA should have fixed this before releasing the game becuase its just a stupid mistake. Sound is great. I have the dolby digital hooked up to my 5.1 speaker system. Also I have the Logitech Force feedback steering wheel. Works great with this game. The different ground textures can be felt. Default controls for this game with the regular controller is perfect. Music, I wish they had a broader variety. If you are a fan of the NFS series or a racing fan, defiantly get this game

Ferrari, Red Hot Game! |
| J. Contreras from Norwalk(CA) Los Angeles County says (4/Oct/2002): |
Need for speed hot prusuit 2 for the ps2, Wow what an excelent experince. The game is just plane fun to play. One might think that this game could start out boring like other racing games. But after you figure out the menu and the options that your given the game takes off.
Racing in compition mode is excelent and all around satifiying. After wining a few races and aquire cars thats when it realy starts to take off. When you acquire the Ferrari F50 you will know what its like to fly.
The cars are excelently modeled, they may need some more work but are nicely detailed as fare as proportions and sound, that is the sound of the engine. You want to talk about enviroment. Its finely detailed and a pleasure to dirve through at a hundred and eightyfive mphs. The cops in the game are smart and entertaining.
There are pleanty of hiden cars to have you coming back for more. The music in the game can use some retooling. I personaly dont want to listen to EA try and sell my some sucky music. At some point the music dosent match the action. Lets talk about the drivers for a second, the could use a lot of work. The drivers look lik the cool guys from those old 80's teen movies.
Personaly if i could buy the cars and fix them up would make me feel closer to the cars like in Gran Turismo(the greatest car game thus far, or atleast until GT4 comes out) and changing parts and oil would make one feel like a dooting father watching over your little red stalion 360.
Maybe they should let use pick what the driver is going to look like you know like in the Sims. Well you cant have it all.
Any ways back to the good aspects of the game. The selection of exotic cars is excelent, the could have some more Ferraris and more Lamborginis that could work, you know some older ones like the F40 and the other ones they had in the first NFS titles.
The game dose have a problem on PS2 at least, runing smoothly in the title menue it look as though some one is playing with the pause botton on the VCR( yes I still have one). But all in all im having a heck of a time racing and after im done with this im going back and playing some more......got to go later.
P.S. Sorry about the spelling

Can YOU feel the Need for SPEED? |
| Nathan Sweeney says (4/Oct/2002): |
All that I can say is WOW. This game is excellent. I just purchased the game today(after waiting for months as the relase date was continually pushed back). After playing it, I am confident that it is the best arcade racer on PS2 so far, just as MFS 4 High Stakes was the best arcase racer on PSX. The cars are nicely detailed. Especially nice it the gauges different for all cars on the first person view. It would have been nice to show the whole steering wheel and instrument cluster for a more realistic look, but I suppose that it was not possible. Engine sounds are very nice. Ranges go from the V8 rumble at idle to the I4 scream at redline. Tire screeching could be better, but not at all bad. Music leaves something to be desired, although a few of the tracks are ok. Be sure to go into options and you will find a few songs that are not turned on. The best part, of course, is the hot pursuit mode. One good thing is that you are able to put police cruisers out of commission if you can get them to run into a wall or ditch or the like. The helicopter will drop some sort of explosive divices in your path if you get them mad enough. Needless to say, not a good thing if you like the appearance of the car. Game play is challenging. You win races and in doing so, you get "NFS Points". These points add up and allow you to unlock the new tracks and new cars, of which there are an abundance. So far I have not been able to unlock anything, because most of the 2 hours that I have played so far have been to get the feel for the physics and just screw around and crash into things. All in all, I highly reccomend this game, especially for fans of arcade racing. If you enjoy simulation, go with GT3 Aspec, which is also a great game. I give this game the following score:
Graphics: 9/10
Sound: 8/10
Game Play: 10/10
Re-play: 10/10
Overall: 9.5/10

very addictive, like crack! |
| eric wishart from hayden idaho, usa says (3/Oct/2002): |
very good game, but could have used a little polish on the visuals. It has the old jaggies ps2 is known for. I did not buy this game for my xbox, put ps2 instead because it is far better then the xbox version. 8 out of 10 overall.
