Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered is an arcade racing game where you must rise to the top of street racers and/or the police force. Expect squealing tires and exhaust pops while power-sliding through a police roadblock. Next to the great music, you will also have nicely voiced characters and vehicles that sound their part. You will have great music blasting through your speakers while evading the cops or trying to take down the suspects. The music mixes in the classic songs from then with a few new modern ones that really fit the setting. One thing that these remasters really get right is the soundtrack. This will finally result in slowing down the navigation through the menus, as well as even making them quite choppy and laggy. They are made exceptionally pretty thanks to the added animations, but that means that even on a heavy system it is really taxing. One thing that is really infuriating is the way that the menus are designed. If you manage to park your car up a wall, you will notice that the damage is both realistic and nicely done but don’t expect a damage model like in a sim racer though. The graphics look awesome and races are colorful thanks to the sunny tracks that you get to race on. The visuals of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered are amazing. There is some small information bundling the stories, but don’t expect large plots or character development.

On both occasions, you must rise to level 20 and you have the free choice of what side to play on and then feel free to alternate between cop and racer or just blast out one story at a time. Both campaigns play out the same and even the vehicle selection is easily comparable. The story of NFS plays out in two ways you can either be the street racer making his way up the wanted list or the police officer that wants to become the most feared cop on the streets. It is only to wonder, did Criterion Games make the perfect remaster, or did they ruin that perfect picture of the past? Upon starting the game, it gave us a serious nostalgia trip, as these games made the Need for Speed genre pretty well-known for how modern they were during their original release period. When the whole world is really waiting on an NFS Underground remake (what we sort of have gotten with NFS Heat), it was a special treat to receive something like the remastered version of Hot Pursuit. It really seems that it has become a staple in the gaming industry to bring out remastered versions of old classics, ranging from Tony Hawks to the Spyro and Crash Bandicoot games, now even to the Need for Speed franchise.
