With Hot Pursuit mode, you can race on both sides of the law: as a cop using radar, dispatchers, and roadblocks to track down speeders; or as a racer, trying to outrun the law. Real-world environments feature details such as blowing leaves, rain, lightning, mud splashes, and smoke from burning rubber and they will put your driving skills to the ultimate test. Expand

    My favorite Need for Speed of the old series -and maybe my favorite to this day. I might be blinded by nostalgia, but I don't care. The gameMy favorite Need for Speed of the old series -and maybe my favorite to this day. I might be blinded by nostalgia, but I don't care. The game was gorgeous like no other racing game ever was, and the reflections on the cars and the light and rain effects, oh man, was it beautiful back in its day. The gameplay is fun for me even today. This is from a time where the game did not hold your hand, and the campaign was tough. But the best part was playing split screen as the police. This brings me memories that I'll never forget. A true classic. Expand

Simplemente increible en casi todos sus apartados. Si bien a simple vista parecería un juego de carreras bastante sencillo, tiene un montón de detalles sutiles que enriquecen la experiencia, ademas de estar super perfeccionado. Excelentes gráficos para la época, diseño de pistas que envejeció muy bien, modos de juego muy variados y divertidos (en especial el persecución), controles perfectos, música inolvidable y un gran modo multijugador. Lo único malo es que es algo corto y no me gusto mucho que al chocar con los coches se sienta como si hubiera un magnetismo.
    En resumen, una obra maestra. Uno de los mejores, sino el mejor juego de carreras jamas hecho. Mas juegos del genero deberían aspirar a ser como este (por ejemplo, me sorprende que en los nuevos Need For Speed no te cuenten la historia de los autos e imágenes de la vida real, ademas de no poder hacer tantas configuraciones al jugar carreras simples, y mucho menos importancia a los climas en la pista, como la lluvia o nieve).
    Recomiendo enormemente jugar a la versión de PC sobre la de PS1, ya que esta ultima no tiene tanto contenido, ademas de gráficos ligeramente peores, unos controles mas duros y una IA injusta.
    PC: 9/10
    PS1: 6,5/10

Physics in principle is as strange as in the second part. The police chases are worse than the first part. Graphics, well, will do. The music is good. And so everything, there is nothing more, except that there are more tracks and cars than in the second part.
    In short, there is less trash than in the second part, but still a boring and uninteresting piece of code.
