So I finally played this game, for about 30 minutes and it hooked me. The handling is nice, yes the car feels a bit heavy and the handbrake is a bit too sensitive (the first time I used it, I ended up going in the wrong direction), but it is just a matter of time until you start enjoying it (it was for me at least). I will give it a try with my wheel though, see how good it is. Maybe it will be better, maybe not, but I must try.
Graphically it is very good, maybe not so good as in the screenshots and trailers, but oh well, it never is that good anyway. It ran perfectly fine at maximum settings, and the "takedowns" are awesome! Ramming the opponents is also a lot of fun, I just wish you could spin them (maybe it is possible, I didn't try hard enough). Seacrest County looks very good, I already raced on sun and rain, but not yet night racing. They could have improved the rain though, you hardly see it falling.
Now, to the bad things. There is almost no traffic in the race map, I was hoping to have a good amount of traffic to constantly be swerving left and right, trying to overtake my opponents while avoiding the civilians. That is not going to happen, only 2 or 3 cars appear from time to time. The sound effects like rain and wind should have a setting for themselves in the options, you can hardly hear the car when racing in the mountains or when it is raining. I stopped the car to rev it up and I couldn't hear it at all because of the rain. I hope Criterion fixes this, but I don't know how many players feel the same.
Well and that's it, I will definitely keep playing this game, and if all goes well, a genuine copy should end up in my house on December 11th.
Now share your thoughts on Hot Pursuit.
