Roads glisten, landscapes look vibrant and the sense of immersion is there when you’re hitting top speeds along highways. Cars are polished to that mirror sheen and faithfully recreated from their real world counterparts. Suffice to say, the sense of speed and adrenaline-fueled nature of racing is perfectly encapsulated here.
Criterion and Stellar Entertainment had proven themselves with the Burnout Paradise remaster, only to hone that craft on this one. Whilst it’s obvious that this is a game from the last generation, considerable effort has been made to spruce it up to current gen. So going in blind to Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, I can confidently say, “Hot damn”. The closest parallel of the original I could draw would probably be Split/Second. I hadn’t played the original, my last NFS being Most Wanted as an Xbox 360 launch title. Normally, the first port of call with any remaster/remake is to make immediate comparisons to the original. Is it something to push through and grow to love, or will it put less competitive players off?

Well, in this game’s version of America, at least. I would hate to be caught speeding in America. Is that worth pursuing or abandoning the chase.? A perfect example of a remaster done right, the only setback is the surprisingly high level of mastery needed to get anywhere.
