Disclaimer: I’ve only spent about 2 hours with this game. I’m not a racing buff but I do enjoy a good racing game.
I thought this would be a remake of the Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit (1998). I played that game like crazy and loved finding new ways of evading the police. It was a ton of fun.
This is titled “remaster”, but it is nothing like that old game. I guess it’s a remaster of some other Hot Pursuit game.
First of all I find the cars very hard to control. The steering is so sensitive and I find myself loosing control of the car over and over. It feels like it would suit better to be played with a wheel controller than a DualSense. This is what ruins the experience for me. I don’t want to play because when I fail it doesn’t feel like my fault.
Only one hour in and the game starts setting unreasonable goals. I must race perfectly just to achieve a bronze medal. I must be playing the wrong way or you cannot get a higher medal until you’ve unlocked better cars.
The last thing that ruins this game for me is that there is no cop action. During my play time I had 1 mission where I was chased by cops and 1 mission where I played as the cop. The other 20 races were standard racing game. I was expecting to play a Hot Pursuit game. This does not meet my expectations.
I rate this game as BAD.
