A throwback to earlier games in the series, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit allows players to experience the thrill of the chase from either the perspective of a racer or the police, with police cars constantly chasing racers. Set along 100 miles of road situated in fictional Seacrest County, the gameworld of Need For Speed Hot Pursuit is fully open world, meaning that players can go wherever they want and race or chase whomever they want to. Players have access to a career mode regardless of which side they are on, and police and racers both have access to differing power ups to give them an extra edge in a pinch. Cars available in game are realistic replicas the pantheon of high performance vehicles available in real life, with cops and racers having equal access to most cars featured, but some being exclusive to either side. Additional features include Autolog, which allows players to communicate and compare stats via a social media type network, 1 8 player online game support and multiple play modes.
