    Overall, my first impressions of this remaster is a good one and it just keeps getting better the more I play it. I have streamed it a couple of times not because tons of people have been watching but simply because I want to share my love for the game with others.

    Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered is a good reissue of one of the best Need for Speed ever made.

    A bit aged in some respects, but perfect in others, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered is still, after a decade, a great racing game with a spicy Burnout flavour.

    Minimal remaster that changes almost nothing, doesn't look dewy fresh, but is still as much fun today as it was in 2010.

    Ten after its initial release, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is still a really good game, and the few improvements Stellar Entertainment has brought to refresh it a bit. Nervous, easy to learn and rather dense thanks to the addition of DLC, the title fits without much difficulty in a market where purely arcade racing games are rare, despite an aging general structure.

    An unfortunately thin experience Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, is a fun romp while it lasts, but it lacks any draw to return to it after completion. The multiplayer options are limited, but the online mode is solid and functional. For anyone who loved the remaster in the past, this will feel exactly as it did back then, but missing local play. A decent driving game with some weird changes.

    This remastered edition of 2010's Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit shows how aged the game has become. The graphics are slightly better, but the driving and missions truly remain all those years back.

    Poor optimized. I have a RTX 2080 and it keeps stuttering even with graphics on low. Graphics are a little better than original. I wasted likePoor optimized. I have a RTX 2080 and it keeps stuttering even with graphics on low. Graphics are a little better than original. I wasted like 1 hour solving a controller issue where there was a message in the screen saying that my controller was not supported. -_-
    I don't mind the arcade gameplay but the stuttering is too much annoying, it breaks even the music!!! Game is bad. I got it for free but will never play it because it's just annoying to play in the current state. I don't even believe they will ever fixed it. Waste of money for someone that paid for it.    … Expand

    I must say that original one was a great game and I really enjoyed it but the remastered version is nothing but a **** cash grab. TheyI must say that original one was a great game and I really enjoyed it but the remastered version is nothing but a **** cash grab. They could've remade Most Wanted 2005 but nah let's release lazy remaster of 10 year old game that still looks beautiful and demand 35$ when the original (that only didn't have DLCs and multiplayer) has cost definitely less.… Expand
