    This game was cool in 2010, but re-released it 10 years later and 2 years after shutting down the servers and selling it for $ 30 for 0 improvements, neither textures, or fps. It would have been great to change the frosbite graphic motor then, but why would we do that when we want to kill the rest of the respect players have for us.
    The worst scam of 2020. Shame on EA (once again)

    There is no local multiplayer mode (split screen). This turned out to be unexpected for me. Money wasted.

    Ils sont vraiment bizarres chez EA : ils ont remastérisé l’un des plus mauvais NFS, celui de 2010 démoulé à l’origine par Criterion… On a donc la même chose, enfin je veux dire la même merde mais en nettement plus beau et avec un mode ‘performance’ à 60 im/s bien plus confortable que les à peine 30 de jadis (en version PS360).

    Tout ce merdier va très vite en tout cas, de vraies ‘Formule 1’ (!) que l’on soit un aigle de la route ou un flic aux trousses ; mais la maniabilité reste globalement exécrable, imprécise et lourde. On s’amuse quand même un certain temps surtout en tant que flic à tenter de dégommer les fuyards via des barrages, herses, IEM (ou on peut appeler un hélicoptère qui lâche une herse…!) ou bien à simplement leur rentrer dedans bien salement, bien entendu.

    Toutefois, la répétition est de mise et rapidement répétitive : c’est toujours pareil, on fonce sur des routes qui se ressemblent toutes, toujours selon le même schéma et par ailleurs, on est obligé de se taper égulièrement des contre-la-montre ennuyeux comme c’est pas permis alors que seules les « poursuites infernales » ont de l’intérêt !

    En outre, la difficulté devient problématique et franchement, ça devient… encore plus lourdingue, cela cumulé aux défauts précédemment cités qui n’en deviennent eux aussi que plus évidents encore ! Bref, une daube remastérisée… inutile.    … Expand

    EA looking for a quick money grab. The game is okay, however it seems to be missing some console exclusives every racing game needs. 1st split screen play. 2nd Offline lan play or system link. I like the racing multiplayer games in our house but I'm not going to pay 3 xbox live subscription just to be able to play online lan.

    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.

    Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit has aged wonderfully. Ten years have not been enough for this work to begin to show some seams, because both in the playable side and in the design structure of its challenges it is still intact. The remastering work is minimal, only technical, and we miss a greater effort to improve some textures, the fluidity of the images or the models, which do not stand out excessively. Luckily, on the playable level it is still excellent in almost all its sections, the Autolog is a sensational idea and there are always reasons to return: wasted content. Hot Pursuit is back in 2020 to remind us just how good it is.

    Despite having high hopes for Hot Pursuit's new remastered version, I found it to be just another mediocre Need for Speed game, using the name of the veteran series, without actually living up to it.

    Against all odds (read: some big-name racing games that eventually turned out disappointing), Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered is the racing game to get this holiday season. It’s pure video gaming at its best with no extra thrills or frills other than serious pedal to the metal racing. It wisely focuses on what it does best and therefore drives to the finish line as a winner. The remaster doesn’t change the successful formula, only polishes it to meet the modern standards.
