User Rating: 9 | Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit PC
It's been a good year to be a fan of arcade-style racing games, with Blur and Split/Second neck-and-neck in the race to be the year's best. Unfortunately for them, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit from Burnout Paradise creator Criterion Games just took first place.

For the reboot of this Need for Speed sub-series, which saw two installments across PS1 and PS2, Criterion has created a racer that not only lives up to expectations of thrilling speed and pristine visuals but blows past them with a cops-and-robbers careerRight out of the gate, Hot Pursuit delivers excellent control and handling, which isn't all that surprising given this is the Burnout studio. But the game structure here is one of point-to-point races along long stretches of road and often calls for extremely precise, split-second maneuvers in order to avoid traffic, bust roadblocks or take a shortcut on what are some comparatively narrow roads. Criterion has upped the precision to suit its design, and the result just feels ... great.
