Quote: “The Speed” is back... and it’s better than ever. We first looked at Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 at our last forum gaming session held earlier this month. Mike from Electronic Arts kindly brought along a development PS2 and some unfinished code for everyone to have a look at. The initial buzz was positive, and quite a few heads were turned.

Nice review, Orphan, and I'd have to agree with everything in it after playing the game the last few days. This game hasn't come out of my PS2 since I got it.

Burnout 2 is supposed to be as good as this - I can't wait for that:D

Good stuff Orph. Sounds like an awesome game that has improved over the last few incarnations.
I would buy it, but it wont work in my machine.

The PC version sucks.

I would buy it if only I had a PS2

I agree about the PC version. PS2 had different developers, and it shows.

Wow that was an entertaining read dude;)! Finished with the review copy yet:larf:??!!! Might need to give this suckah a go at some stage soon...

And also the PS2 version is better than the xbox version.

I know, hence my comment. Im gutted that it wasnt developed under the same guidance for the other consoles, but her, shit happens . I saw it running on Saturday and I was most impressed (PS2 version Im referring to).

Yeah I thought you knew, I was just being a smart arse.
Its good though, The PS2 getting a better version than the xbox or gamecube for once.

Had the game out and had to extend the hire I was enjoying it so much, The cars are nie and for EA... a very polished game! May have to make a wee purchase

Just rented this game out tonight, and like the review says......heaps of fun. But man that helicopter that drops those bomb thingies onto that track was getting me fired up. But it keeps on bringing you back for more.
