O/T Need For Speed Hot Pursuit
Alright... I have some history witht his game. Anyone remember the "3D0". Basically, it was way ahead of its time. A video game platform with CD based games, great graphics (for the time) and it was pretty neat. But it cost 400 bucks, so it didn't sell well. Anyway, the ORIGINAL need for speed came out on that platform, and man, I must have spent a good portion of my youth playing it. What a GREAT game. But somehow, they screwed it all up. The next NFSs were unrealistic, arcade-ish style crap.
HOWEVER, man, this new one, it is GREAT! ITs for PS2, and probably the computer, but man is it fun! Yeah, its pretty arcade-ish, but they got it RIGHT this time! You ahve these two cool features with the l2 and r2 buttons, the l2 button does this slowmo-rotate around the car- ala matrix style- camera view WHEN you are racing, but for the camera sweep it sorta pauses the action.... and hte R2 button sends this fireball like a half a mile down the road.. only when you launch it, it pauses the action (again) and you FOLLOW the fireball, so basically you can effectively see whats around the corner before you even go around it! Its AWESOME! Anyway, you guys should check it out, its a LOT of fun! - Ca$h |

I haven't checked out the new NFS, but I will eventually. I remember playing the first PSX version of NSX a lot in college.
It'll be awhile before I get to it, though. Between Sega GT:2002, GTA:Vice City, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Tony Hawk 4, Jet Set Radio Future and the half-dozen other games I'm in the middle of, I barely have time to go to the bathroom. :P

So far I'm finished all the Championship races in NFS:HP2 and earned a gold medal in each one. I'm playing the PC version. I'm now starting to work on the Hot Pursuit races.
I don't like the cops in the game. They are unrealistically fast. You can pass them at 100mph and they catch up to you in less than 5 seconds. 1500hp?? Still waiting for Vice City for PC (playing original GTA3 until then)
