Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2

Genre(s) Racing

Hot Pursuit 2 draws primarily from the gameplay and style of
Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit; its emphasis was on evading the police and over-the-top tracks
featuring lengthy shortcuts.As with the original, the player also has the option to play as a
police officer trying to arrest speeders. To do so the player rams the speeding vehicle multiple
times to disable it. The player must turn on their lights and sirens while in pursuit, and they
automatically turn off after arrestingthe suspect. Police can call for a road block, spike strips,
and request help from a helicopter to assist in chasing the target vehicle. At the end, the player
is awarded for the cars busted. Races take place in four environments which differ in atmosphere,
with a handful of tracks per environment. The different tracks in an environment are formed by
different roads being connected or separated by road blocks. A fictional tropical island, reminiscent
of Hawaii, is the most varied environment; the track traverses a city, volcano, waterfall, beach,
forest, and two villages. The coastal forest environment, reminiscent of the Washington coast,
sometimes has foggy weather, but this does not effectively limit visibility during races.
The Mediterranean coast and so-called Alpine environments are more homogeneous, with little variation
except the occasional short cut. Compared to the original Hot Pursuit, which features weather
and day/night variation independent of track, and widely varying environments from snowy mountains
over cities to desert, Hot Pursuit 2 tracks have significantly less variation.

Hot Pursuit 2 is also the first in the series to lack an in-car view that was available in preceding
Need for Speed titles. There is only a "driver's perspective" view available, without a visible
dashboard.

Race types

All types of modes can only have a certain class of cars to be used.
Faster cars are used near the end of the "Championship" and "Ultimate Racer" modes. Delivery is a
timed point-to-point dash, with the police inpursuit. This is similar to the delivery mission in Porsche
Unleashed while the police pursuit makes it more challenging. Sprint is a point to point race where
competitors try to get from one end to the other before their opponent. Time Trial gives players three
laps on a level with the goal being to beat the required time to get the gold/silver/bronze medal.
Lap Knockout eliminates the last racer in each lap until one player remains the victor. Knockout
follows a similar principle, but eliminations are made to the last racer at the end of each race.
Several other modes, such as Tournament, Single Race, and Championship/Ultimate Racer are also available
