quokin's Full Review: Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 for Windows
Of all the racing games I've seen (including later versions of NFS), NFS3 still surpasses them all. It delivers stunning 3D graphics, great visuals, sound effects, realistic navigation and control, and an easy-to-use interface. NFS3 offers a variety of sports cars, with countless numbers available for download from the official sites and fan sites. You can even customize your own car with the car tool included on the CD, but it's hard to figure out how to use it.
The best thing about this game is that it runs at high definition, and smoothly as well, even WITHOUT A 3D ACCELERATOR CARD. This definitely gives this game a high rating in my opinion. NFS versions after this one are great games as well, but they require extra hardware to run well.
Another great feature in this game is its infamous HOT PURSUIT option. Not only can you be chased by cops, but you can choose to be a cop as well. If a single race isn't good enough for you, HOT PURSUIT gets your adrenaline pumping!
NFS3 comes with 8 tracks and a bonus track. Each of these can be played forward/backward, or even mirrored. This way, each track translates into 4 courses each...giving you a total of 36 challenging race tracks!
NFS3 also supports a split-screen 2 player mode, even where one person can be the cop and the other the victim. on a network or over the internet, up to 8 people can race at once, increasing the fun!
music, sound, and graphical effects are all wonderful, including flying blimps, sailing ships, splashing mud and dirt, and car fires. This game is a must have for all hardcore racing fans!
