The game gives a completely new feel and put it nearly impossible.
On each track, as before, there are conventions, cutting and detours. But almost no jumps
The confrontation with police lights flashing and reckless drivers on the roads - the theme seems to be the same eternal, as the relationship between a man and a woman. And if the contacts between the Russian violators of traffic rules and road inspector mainly translated into commodity-monetary plane, then in America, according to a series of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, they are much tougher: there is direct contact, punch in the hood, and the car reckless driver flying into the ditch ...
Beautiful back
In 1998, the third part of the series is gaining popularity Need for Speed, as they say in such cases, made a splash: a race to chase with police, dodging collisions, entanglements and spread out on the track spikes, or to become a guardian of order, pursuing infringers - this has nowhere was not (at least in computers). The concept has been very successful, and after 4 years out Hot Pursuit 2. In addition, the police appeared regularly in other games of the series.
It would seem, on the subject everything has been said. But just then started the fashion for HD-remakes, and Electronic Arts has a new reason to sell us (for the third time already!) One and the same, in fact, a game. To its credit, publishers and developers, new Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit model 2010 with good intentions, can not be called unsophisticated clone.
The authors of the new game became a studio Criterion Games, familiar to fans of arcade races: it is responsible for the Burnout Paradise - the game is perhaps no less popular than any series Need for Speed. Such people are, by definition, could not spoil the big-name brand. And a strong professional master's hand in the new Hot Pursuit is felt in everything.
Firstly, the machinery itself failed. Like 12 years ago, the bet is placed on the supercars: Porsche, Aston Martin, Bugatti, Lamborghini, McLaren - these and other vendors have issued a license to use the game in a variety of models of its range (only reason there is no Ferrari). Here you can also find products Ford, Dodge, Toyota, Opel, the newest Mercedes SLS AMS, convertible BMW sixth series. Moreover, many of the models are presented in a unique trim, designed specifically for the police: they are sharpened by the fact that lead the chase at tremendous speeds and ram offenders.
All this splendor dorogushchee rides on the classic "nidfospidovskim" routes: basically they are laid on a background of nature, including forests, seas and rivers, among the mountain serpentines and farms. And all this - part of a single system, rather than scattered plots. The new Hot Pursuit races are held on a big map, where it can be replaced by a dynamic time of day and weather. And it looks, of course, spectacularly: smartly-drawn car speeding down the slopes, which are similar to photos from the set of "The nature of the Midwest." Asphalt and the water looks so that they want to touch: can not believe that this is just a computer graphics.
At about the same epithets deserve and racing model. Criterion Games accurately captured the essence and spirit of the classic Need for Speed: we once again have a high quality arcade game, where speed in the first place, the dynamics, but the machines behave differently, and in a sharp turn, Overexposed handbrake, you can easily lose control.
Only one opportunity to admire these beauties that's worth a lot
Do to us, do it better
In such circumstances, of course, directly succeeded races themselves. They take place in the classical modes: race, where a few reckless attempt to escape from police harassment; interception (the same thing, but one-on-one), the usual race - who are the first to get to the finish line, at the time of check-in, where you have time to shoot from point A to point B.
You can make a career for a reckless driver, and for the police. On a huge map select the available competition, allowing the minister to act on the side of the law or offending SDA. The victory earned finance and provide access to the following tracks, cars and to new levels of fame - reaching the final, level 20, you will become the most wanted offender or the most formidable police in the district.
In addition, as we open up career opportunities and new non-lethal weapons: the police can lay out on the track belt with studs, request an obstacle and even a helicopter, so he threw the spikes right in front of the offender. In addition, it is possible, just like in Blur or Death Track, shoot opponent electromagnetic pulse. True, he does not turn the car into a pile of scrap metal, but only slows it down, but if you shoot correctly, before entering into a turn, the car can fly off the track.
Reckless drivers are not left empty-handed. They can jam the electronics Police are not allowing that use their cunning tricks include turbo boost (this is in addition accessible to all and always nitro), just drop behind the spikes and use an electromagnetic pulse.
In single mode, it looks and plays a fun and dynamic, but sooner or later get bored. The more so that here, unlike the original Hot Pursuit, there is no detailed tuning and tuning cars (you can only choose the color). Nor is there such a spectacular physics, as in Burnout Paradise - to destroy the opponent's car, to cut a long strip of his health.
And here comes into play in the main instrument of the new Hot Pursuit - multiplayer. Multiplayer has been in the past, but also 12 and 8 years ago (when I got the second part) multiplayer fun were not publicly available mass phenomenon. Now, at the time of the ubiquitous social networking, you can arrange a real massacre with real players without going to the computer clubs.
The authors clearly grasped this trend: calling for help guru online battle of the DICE (makers of the series Battlefield) they are, in fact, have created their own social network - Autolog. Last replaces the main menu and is holding the entire game: immediately offers to find and add friends quickly, and then considers and compares the results with your (you can update at each track records), offers to photograph your car and put on a 'wall' According to the latest news from the life of the game and then again your friends. And most importantly, Autolog lets you very quickly, without unnecessary delay, to find and join a multiplayer match.
Mode three: chase interception race, each further subdivided into three types, depending on the machine type. In addition to the open, of course, you can create and closed the game with its own rules and friends.
It seems to be nothing new, but the availability of previously unseen multiplayer, multiplied by the excellent optimization (almost no lag), dynamics (nitrouskorenie always available) and the ability to organize various dirty tricks opponents on the road, leading to impressive results: all the same, by and large, gives the game a completely new feel and put it nearly impossible....
