Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2010

Is it still worth playing?

Seacrest County, a hundred miles of open road drawn from California, Oregon and Washington, is where cops and racers face off in this 2010 racing game for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC and Wii. Two careers run side by side, racer and cop, and you can alternate between them at will, earning bounty points to raise your Wanted Level or Police Rank and unlock cars, events and weapons. The police lay roadblocks, call helicopters, deploy spike strips and EMPs and jam radar, the racers answer with countermeasures, and every car is real, most also in a police livery. Autolog was the addition: a feed of friends' times on every event, posted for you to beat, so the rival is someone you know. A Remastered followed in 2020. A friend's time waiting on the screen is still the rival today.
