Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered Reviews
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered is pure arcade madness, with a couple of interesting new multiplayer modes, a killer soundtrack and an accessible, instant-action approach to its career and online contingents.
This isn't the most exciting remaster, but Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is still one of the best modern arcade racers around – and now it looks better than ever.
A classic from the franchise returns in great shape, remaining fun and challenging, showing the core values that made Need for Speed so great. Still have the same issues as before, but in a much more complete and visually better package. Hot Pursuit Remastered is the definitive version that should please both those who wish to return to this experience and those who are going to venture out for the first time.

Even after 10 years, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered is bursting with some of the most thrilling racing gameplay out there.
A cracking example of nostalgia done right, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered is as worthy as any current-gen racer out there. It’s not easy to begin with, but once you’re practiced you’ll be flying across the finish line.
Overall, my first impressions of this remaster is a good one and it just keeps getting better the more I play it. I have streamed it a couple of times not because tons of people have been watching but simply because I want to share my love for the game with others. It is normally $29.99 USD but is currently on sale on all platforms for $17.99 USD until December 14, 2020. Go get it if you want to have a good time with a racer.
While there are minor complaints about Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, they are just that: minor.
That is somewhat of a bummer as we head into an aggressive new age of consoles this month, yet Hot Pursuit actually holds up as an extraordinary game in its own right.
For those who still have a copy of it on PS3 and Xbox One and want to buy and play it again on modern hardware, here’s my tip: only do it if you have an enhanced console to play it on 60 fps. Other than that (and extending to PC users), don’t waste your money on this remaster. But if you never played Hot Pursuit before and like arcade racers, this is the one for you. Get ready for some of the most intense races and police chases ever created on a videogame. You’ll be on the edge of your seat for hours and crave for more!
As I mentioned previously, NFS isn't incredibly deep and has no real storyline other than progression and automobile unlocks/rewards. However, if quick feverish races and takedowns are your thing (still), then adding NFS: HP is a must.
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered is here and although its gameplay mechanisms and ideas in 2010 can stand well into 2020, the graphics take it "back".
