Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit is on track for a comeback, but it isn't everything it could be. With its cops-versus-racers signature gameplay it is sure to satisfy any racing fan, even with its flaws.

Calling in Criterion to reinvigorate the Need For Speed franchise is one of the best decisions EA has made in a long time. Longtime developer Black Box continuously beat the Most Wanted formula into the ground in an attempt to recapture the magic of this generation’s first truly great racing title, and bringing in a seasoned developer to put a fresh spin on things will no doubt keep Need For Speed from becoming the embarrassment it very well started to be. Ironically, Criterion’s “fresh” spin was to take the series back to its roots, resurrecting the Hot Pursuit moniker and most importantly, the signature cops-versus-racers gameplay.
