About
The Need for Speed series returns to its classic arcade “chase” style, shifting away from racing simulation and back to top-speed street runs where you have to outrun both rival drivers and the cops.
Choose from a lineup of famous sports cars and exotics, including the Ferrari F50, Porsche 911, and models from Ford, Corvette, BMW, Lotus, Mercedes, Aston Martin, the McLaren F1, and more.
In Competitive Race mode, you battle other drivers to the finish while dodging traffic and launching off dangerous jumps and stunt sections to earn points. Those points, combined with points from your finishing position, unlock new cars and tracks.
Hot Pursuit mode adds intense police chases to the same high-speed racing, with cops using aggressive tactics like forcing you off the road, setting up roadblocks, and deploying an attack helicopter equipped with missiles. Get busted three times, and the race is over.
Storyline
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 steers the Need for Speed series back to arcade-style chase racing, where victory depends on staying fast as rival racers and aggressive police tactics close in. In competitive races and Hot Pursuit events, you drive exotic cars through traffic, over jumps, and past roadblocks, fighting to reach the finish line before you get busted.
