The graphics, for what they are, are fine. To me, the drifting in this originally 10-year-old Need for Speed offering far outpaces the attempt at the mechanic in "Need for Speed: Heat." Although, I’ll be fair here, they are both very different games, so maybe they shouldn’t be compared.
It’s outrageously fast, and the drifting is very tight and easy to control. Luckily, for my money, it does!įirst and most importantly, the feel of the driving is right in the sweet spot for me. For this game, though, those wouldn’t exist, and I was interested to see if the now 10-year-old racer would still hold up. Because of that, I’ve often had my nostalgia goggles on for these types of packages. Somehow, despite the absolute onslaught of remastered games being released in the past few years, I’ve managed to never play a remastered version of a game that I hadn’t at least dabbled in when I was younger. Multimedia Producer Erik Maier: "Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered" was a game I was particularly excited to try out because I had never played the original. We played PlayStation and Xbox versions of the game for this review. It launches on Nintendo Switch on November 13. The game is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC. All of this for the price of $40, about $20 less than most new releases.
