NEED FOR SPEED: HOT PURSUIT 2
If you own a Playstation 2, and you DON'T own this game, then SHAME ON YOU, I say. Shame on you for not allowing yourself the sheer joy of getting behind the wheel of some of the fastest automobiles known to man, and driving upwards of 150mph across some beautiful terrain...and pissing off a lot of cops in the process.
I've always been a fan of driving games; especially driving games in which you can break the law. I mean, NASCAR racing is OK, but you're confined to a track. When you can zip through a crowded City street or little village in the Pacific Northwest, risking serious injury to yourself and other people...well my friends, THAT is when you've reached racing game nirvana.
NEED FOR SPEED: HOT PURSUIT 2 is the most beautifully-designed driving game I've ever played. Of course, the obligatory Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche automobiles are there, in several models, but also present are BMWs, Mercedes Benz, Jaguar, McLaren concept cars, and Lotus models are available as well. You can also listen in on your police scanner to find out where an upcoming roadblock is, so you can try to avoid it.
Creaming your pants yet? Of course you are. Here's some specs straight from the ELECTRONIC ARTS website:
Over 20 coveted exotics, fully licensed and rendered in awesome PlayStation 2 detail
Multiple game modes including Challenge, Hot Pursuit, and Championship
Dynamic lighting effects, true reflections, and animated drivers bring the cars and tracks to life
Detailed environments bring to life real-world elements such as rain, blowing leaves, sun beams, and dust storms
Edge-of-your-seat driving as you dodge traffic, race neck-and-neck with other exotics, and elude police at breakneck speeds upwards of 200 mph.
Open world environment gives way to off-road adventures and shortcuts
60 different racing events -- Emerge victorious to become the Champion Road Racer
Reap rewards for winning events -- Upgraded cars, new driving courses, and more
Two player split-screen action
Basically, if you've ever wanted to fly by a cop in a sports car doing 150mph, and NOT wanted to go to jail for a while where some big guy with a lot more tattoos than you (and a lot less money to afford nice cars) is going to stick things up your butt... Your only option is to
