The New Need For Speed (2011)
If the name sounds like you, is that you are insane (although we are not doctors), because there is indeed a Hot Pursuit in the franchise Need for Speed and data of 12 years ago, when the series still gave her first steps as one of the most prestigious career games. Now, to return to that point in popularity, Electronics Arts hired developer Criterion Games, creators of Burnout Paradise, and probably the best company to work in a racing game now.
Last time we saw games need for Speed was suffering from an identity crisis fate.On the one hand, launched the decent Shift, trying to bring closer to reality without being a simulator, and another, Undercover, which continued to use the formula of underground, but with a bad presentation and performance.Now, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit returned to the roots, competition between players such as policemen and corridors. And to achieve this, have managed to Criterion Games, who reinvented the Burnout Paradise, with series becoming one of the best games of 2008.
As always, Hot Pursuit patrols are more luxurious.
As many of the Need for Speed Hot Pursuit presents a campaign can be played both as police or broker, simultaneously. You will find the missions of the city, changing faction at any time. Hot Pursuit offers 60 events for brokers and 48 for police, and you can unlock vehicles and abilities for each faction to win races, ticked corridors or break records lap.Although missions do not go beyond simple racing or intense persecution, the fact that you can take different paths make it a bit more varied.
In total you have 100 cars to unlock, and they are evenly split between two factions. And although you can change their color, there is no way to customize its appearance or improve their performance, something that the Need for Speed used to do for quite some time. Even so, don’t feel this lack, thanks to the enormous variety of licensed vehicles. That Yes, although you can find some Lamborghini and Porsche, there is an alarming lack of Ferrari cars.
Both police and corridors have special abilities.
One could say that the gameplay of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is the perfect blend between the balanced management of classical NFS and freedom that offered Burnout Paradise. While you run at full speed you can Dodge vehicles with dexterity and fold closed curves sliding you did a side.Freedom comes into play to escape the police, since there are several shortcuts at any time, ready to be taken.Some of the new features is the use of Nitro, already not be recharge over time as Need for Speed, but by managing risky way, as in Burnout. Thus there is some strategy to use in key moments as to recover after a crash or upload a slope without losing speed.
Persecution in Hot Pursuit are very intense and the best thing that has to offer. But they are even more exciting with four abilities for each faction that improve with time. Both sides share electromagnetic to destabilize cars forward pulses, and spikes on the road for some unsuspecting corridor to come back. On the differences, runners can use blockers to not be affected by the electromagnetic pulse and turbo, apart from the nitro to gain more speed.Police officers, on the other hand, use reinforcements to place locks on the road with many policemen or use helicopters to throw obstacles in the road.
The persecutions are very intense.
The graphics are equal to what one would expect from the creators of Burnout, with excellent models of cars, textures and an acceptable level of destruction. Scenarios are still better than vehicles, but unfortunately there is no way to see the camera driver. But regardless of how well you can see, Criterion Games has always been characterized by delivering a looked extremely good and just ran at 60FPS game, this is also the case of Hot Pursuit that does not give respite and allows playing fluently supposed to play.
In speaking of the multiplayer mode, you can play in a traditional race with up to eight runners, or divided into teams of runners and policemen. There is also a mode in particular called interceptor, where two players they face such as police and corridor. All the experience, as it won in the campaign or in multiplayer mode, ends in the same place and you can invest in improvements and other cars. In this way, you can run with all vehicles you’ve locked in any of the events.
Burnout Paradise we used to have much information on how we are and what we are so well positioned compared to other players and friends.Hot Pursuit continues that system, but takes you to a new level, keeping the information always in view.For example, if you are choosing a car, you can see what other friends have used and how they were.And every time that a friend breaks a personal record, the warning appears on the screen with the option to enter the challenge with the simple press of a button.The system also allows you to upload photos and leave comments on each time, very similarly to a social network dedicated exclusively to the game.Finally it works, and very well.If you have several friends who play you will end up trying to regain your achievements rather than run with strangers.And if you do not have many friends on your list, the system also recommends contacts, so you always have who play.
Ultimately Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is felt in many aspects like a game of 1998, but with several updated aspects.The persecutions are so fun and intense as they were formerly, but current technology allows you to see and play even better and have added values as more special abilities, more ways to take and a better overall experience.Hot Pursuit franchise returns to its roots and continues to be as fun as reminded it by luck.You can find it for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 by €69 and PC and Nintendo Wii for €49.
