For years many people have believed that the Need for Speed series was going downhill. What was once a must buy series has become a wait and see franchise whenever it releases a new game. EA appears to have recognised this trend and has started to take steps to rectify it. The first indication of this was the significantly different Need for Speed Shift last year that was built to take on games such as Gran Turismo. However, in 2010 we have a completely different game again; one which heralds back to the days where Need for Speed was THE racing series, and this is a good thing.

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit as the name implies returns the series to the cops versus phelons gameplay that made some of the last generation games so popular. It's one thing to race hot and exotic cars together, but add the law enforcement aspect and the game becomes all the more thrilling and enjoyable to play. The best way to describe Need for Speed Hot Pursuit is a game of two halves; the cops and the phelons.
