    Overall I’m disappointed by the physics of this game.

    It certainly is a good arcade-style driving game, but it's nowhere near as fun as the PlayStation 2 version.

    The ability to be the cop and call up backup such as the chopper and spike strips is a noble attempt but just not enough. They are fun to use but a few tweaks do not make a game.

    Too bad the lame Career modes can't match the rest of the game's quality. [Feb 2003, p.74]

    While it's great to see it return to the PC after a three-year absence, it doesn't reach the heights of previous editions. [Feb 2003, p.67]

    Sick Game! Super fun in every way. Try using a steering wheel it is so much fun. The cops are way funner in this game than in the first one Sick Game! Super fun in every way. Try using a steering wheel it is so much fun. The cops are way funner in this game than in the first one because they arent perfect. The only thing that could make this better is if my computer didnt crash when i was 70% or so done.… Full Review »
