    If they wanted to remaster a Criterion game, they could have used 2012, which to me is not a NFS game but a fun racing game...    … Expand

    Its sadly just a lazy glorified port of the original from 10 years ago. Its still a good game (Thats why I dont give it a 0) but in some places the game has even been made worse graphical wise. I would recommend you to get the original for 10 bucks on steam than this cash grab from EA.

    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. 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.

    So releasing a 2020 game racing game without wheel support? Instantly 0 points for me.

    Lazy cash grab, with graphical improvements over the original so minimal that they're difficult to notice at all.

    I've really tried to keep playing this, but it's almost impossible, the gameplay is awful, graphics and sound design makes the game look poorly made, you will feel bored after playing it for 30 minutes

    No steering wheel support. Max of 60 fps. Expensive.
    Joke of a remaster. Really expensive for what it is. NFS Hot Pursuit with better graphics. That's it.

    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 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    Poor optimized.

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

    the best need for speed, for 2010 very beautiful graphics, the last time I played as a child, I decided to pass recently, I got the maximum of emotions, the multiplayer is of course boring, but the storyline is just super, I didn’t notice the difference with the remaster, of course it’s stupid to demand the full amount for this on the part of the developers

    It’s a good game, but it’s an odd choice to be remastered. The base game isn’t that old, only 10 years since the year the remastered version came out. Racing games in 2010 were different because it was before Forza Horizon came in and reinvented the genre.

So the point to point racing is still fun, but it just feels like an odd selection of Need for Speed games to remaster when they have such a massive catalogue of NFS games that have been completely forgotten. The original game is great but it’s a product of its time, and that’s how it felt playing this game. I would play 20-30 minutes and then just move on to doing something else, return for another 20-30 minutes the next day, and just repeat. The rubber band AI is there, which I’m totally fine with as again, this was a product of its time. The gameplay is great, there is nothing wrong with it, but racing games have grown so much in the past 10 years. I just can’t understand why they chose this one to be remastered, because it’s not a game that really relies on the graphics. Playing the original version of the game would serve the same purpose. Yes the graphics are very nice, and this definitely is the better way to play the game. While they are nicer to look at, they aren’t really that special either.

    It was hard picking a score for this game. It isn’t a bad game, it’s still fun, but it’s fun in a dated way. You are still playing a game that was released on the Xbox 360 and PS3, and it feels like a game from that era. I think this game would be equally as exciting playing it on the original hardware. It was just an unnecessary remaster that nobody asked for and nobody really needed. But now that we have it, nobody cares anyway.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is great! I like this game. In my opinion is perfect for an arcade racing and hot pursuit game. And the cars are amazing for me. This the best Need For Speed game ever in 2010 and 2020 Remastered!… Expand

    nothing innovative because the graphics of the original 2010 game were already amazing. CRITERION being able to do BURNOUT again with its incredible destruction instead of doing as much crap as These NFS floppeds

    Это просто УЖАСНО! Графика хуже оригинала 2010 года, играть в 2022 году в это БОЛЬНО! Машина поворачивает с большим трудом несколько секунд в одну сторону! Для ПК игра вообще не предназначена, настройка клавиатуры тоже УЖАСНА! Самое плохое в этой игре это геймплей и графика! Не рекомендую к покупке, не тратьте свои деньги на это!Это просто УЖАСНО!

    Começando pelos gráficos esse jogo é muito bonito, com um detalhamento muito grande no modelo dos carros que são todos licensiados. Existe muita opção para mudar as cores e aparencia dos carros mas encerra por ai.
    Quanto a jogabilidade na pista praticamente não via diferença entre um carro e outro além do controle, pois não importava se pegasse um carro mais rápido os que estão atrás sempre alcançam os da frente.
    Ainda sim achei muito estranho o carro na mão nesse jogo.
    Mas o que mais me decepcionou no jogo é uma completa ausencia de uma história ou evolução no jogo. Não existe como evoluir algo, investir em algo. O jogo vai te dando carro atrás de carro e nem é possivel sentir muita diferença entre eles na pista.
    Foi uma lastima terminar o jogo e não peguei 100% porque depois de 15 horas não aguentava mais esse jogo.    … Expand

    Only play-worthy Need For Speed game in years after the era of Underground to Carbon. Was fun to play and physics were not **** Really felt the action fueled pursuit like it's 1998. Only with better graphics.

    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.

    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.

    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.
