    Great for the Switch. I was surprised how well it plays and the graphics look wonderful docked and handheld. I stood at the store and just starred at the cover for prolly 10 minutes. I was going to pass and started walking away. Then something told me to turn around and give it a try. I'm glad I did. Very fun on the switch.

    It's nice to have it on the go. The performance in handheld mode is very good. The framerate didn't drop below anything notable to the eye. The loading times are a bit of a let down, as well as EAs nagging dialogues, when you launch the game off the grid. All in all, it's a good catch to make on sale.

    Solid racer, although a bit outdated in comparison to some of the new titles in the racing genre. Still a nostalgic remaster that's worth picking up if you want to play NFS on the Switch.

    Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered is a mixed bag. On one hand, its simplicity in its pick up and play race-to-race gameplay style can suit those who enjoy "back to basics" game modes. Anyone seeking an experience that can be fun to play with limited options will find Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered a joy to play, especially given its relatively budget price. Petrol heads and those looking for a bit of nostalgia will be satisfied with the car selection and arcade gameplay. However, Hot Pursuit Remastered's game modes both inside and outside of career mode are fairly scant, and fall short of standards set by other racing games in the modern landscape - even those upheld historically within the Need for Speed franchise itself.

    Despite the Burnout heritage, NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered is a hardcore racer that looks and plays incredibly on the Switch. Love racing games? You need this. [Issue #2, p.62]

    The Need for Speed series isn’t the behemoth it used to be but it’s great to see one of the last great entries in the series make its way over to Nintendo Switch. It may be a ten-year-old game, but it manages to stand toe to toe with other more recent examples on the console with ease.
