Product Description

Amazon.com

If you're searching for the ultimate racing experience for your PC, look no further than Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit. The classic driving game is back, and better than ever, so hit the streets in one of 11 immaculate supercars. All-new licensed cars for this installment include the Aston Martin DB7, Ferrari 550 Maranello, and the Lamborghini Diablo SV. With the ability to download more exclusive vehicles from the Need for Speed Web site, there will always be something new to test drive. For multiplayer enthusiasts, NFS3 supports up to two players with a modem or serial connection or up to eight players with a LAN connection. As if that wasn't enough, the already stunning graphics have been improved, with an even higher level of attention to detail that includes blowing leaves, smoke from the burning rubber of tires, and amazing weather effects such as rain, lightning, snow, and fog. Finally, there's an all-new hot pursuit mode where you scorch the streets on either side of the law: elude the fuzz as a speeding motorist or enforce justice from a police patrol vehicle. Racing doesn't get any better than this.

NEED FOR SPEED 3- Third favorite but far from last on list

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2003

Platform For Display: PCEdition: Jewel Case

I have to rank HOT PURSUIT third only because the first two favorites of mine are INCREDIBLY GOOD! Rally Trophy and Driver are my 2 favorites but I bought this one some time ago and it was one of the very first PC games I purchased. I didn't have my joystick back then so the game was very difficult for me,so I didn't play it for a couple of months. I rediscovered it, though, after I learned how to use my Wingman Attack 2. Most of you racing enthusiasts out there know that joysticks are a lot more effective and fun to use than trying to navigate the roads in this game and most other racing sims. I highly recommend Need FOR SPEED 3 to both veteran and novice alike as it is a great escape mechanism in this time of serious dangers in our terror-torn world of today. Remember-It is ONLY A GAME. When you knock over all those obstacles on the tracks NOBODY REALLY GETS HURT! So-Have fun trying to evade the squad cars or win your race. It's got a lot of variations. Play NEED FOR SPEED 3-SOON!

Could have been a lot better.

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2001

Platform For Display: PCEdition: Jewel Case

This does have great graphics and a very good feel to it, but at times it's just too hard. Hardly any of the cars supplied with the game are worth using, you just don't have a hope in hell. Yes, it's slick. Yes, it's great for multiplayer. Yes, if you download new cars of the net then it's good fun. But with most cars it's far too hard and there's no sensation of speed. One mistake and there's no point in playing on. It's the same story with Hot Pursuit. The idea that a bath tub like a Corvette can possibly catch up with and arrest a Counthash is ridiculous - yet that's what you have to do when you're a cop. I also think that the options are sometimes limiting. You can only play Hot Pursuit for a single race - you can't have cops in competitions. Oh, and the graphics may generally be excellent but the trees, dust and smoke look awful and the crome is cool but over-exaggeratted.
Now that updated sequels to this game have been made, I think it's worth forgetting about. Really good fun at times, but 3 stars is all it deserves because of sloppy programming concerning the difficulty. I shouldn't have to download stuff just to enjoy a game. If you have someone to play 2 player with though, or you can be bothered to download a load of cars from the net then it's worth getting if you see it cheap coz then it IS a really good game. Plus, it has some of the best race-courses I've ever played on. I just think that if EA had spent more time on the feel of the game and the gameplay plus A LOT more testing for the difficulty level instead of leaves and snow flying up on the windscreen then this could have been a better game.

Driving/Racing Eye Candy

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2003

Platform For Display: PCEdition: Jewel Case

Wow!
When I first popped this CD into my PC, I could hardly believe my eyes. This game "begins" with one of the best "cinematic" sequences I've ever seen, starting with thunder and lightening, fast music kicking in, and a great little "film" full of fast cuts, great editing, amazing graphics, and SPEED! Though one can bypass this opening at any time to get to the play, I still often love watching this opening movie prior to every time I'm up for enjoying the actual game. What's truly amazing however is that, once you get into the game and get better at it, you can record, save, and replay any/all of your OWN races. These are just fun to watch also.
The real fun however, is in the play. I have tried many, many driving/racing games, on consoles both old and new, and this is undoubtedly the best out there. Even those on the so-called next generation systems like PS2, XBox and Gamecube have NOTHING which compares to this, in my humble opinion. For the low price this is going for nowadays, if you want the BEST driving/racing game ever made, look no further. I would easily pay three times what they're asking for this, it's just that damn good.
The Need For Speed series has been around for awhile, and I also own and enjoy the Playstation versions, however, even those cannot match the graphics of this PC one. With a gamepad and/or joystick and some headphones, you're in for the ride of your life, again and again. It's even possible to play a mean game of NFS3 with the keyboard alone, but it's much better with a controller of some type, and they're pretty cheap these days too.
There are several beautiful tracks here, and many great cars to choose from. You can choose various types of races, go into HOT PURSUIT mode where you try to outrun the cops, or if you like, just drive around and enjoy the scenery and explore in cruise mode. With various "cheat codes" easily found on the internet, you can also make your cars go faster, choose special "locked" cars at will (El Nino!), and open up special hidden tracks like the beautiful "Empire City."
For anyone new to fast driving/racing games, this may seem quite impossible or at least extremely difficult at first, but with practice and timing and the right combination of passwords, you will soon be winning races and much more. I say this because, regardless of whether you're racing another single opponent or a flock of them, the AI (artificial intelligence) of your comrades in SPEED is pretty tough. Sometimes, if you don't run a perfect race, you will see the rest easily pass you by and drift off into the distance, vanishing as you struggle to keep up. The challenge however never ends, because even when you do get pretty good, there will always be other cars who will always give you a good run for the money. The cops chasing you and setting up roadblocks and spikestrips and such, are also pretty good and fast and relentless, and it's really a kick to try to outwit and outrace them before you're finally "arrested." This will come after they pull you over a couple times first with some "warnings." In this mode, you get to hear the cops and female switchboard operator talking on a CB in the background as they chase you.
The graphics are not only consistently beautiful and the frame rate high, but the sound effects (engines, screeches, wind, howling wolves, birds, cows, you name it), and music are also top notch. Everything is highly configurable though not on any Gran Turismo level, but the options for setting up exactly what you want, from track locale to car to car color to night driving to weather effects like rain and snow, are almost endless. And each replay you save with differences like this, also make for unique little "movies" like the opening sequence which are a joy to save and watch in themselves.
I can't recommend this game enough. The system requirements are low, the price is low, the graphics are like eye candy, you can turn down the music selections (which are all great techno and rock styles) and play your own MP3's if you like instead, and all I have to say is, if you don't have a driving/racing game yet for your PC, BUY THIS ONE FIRST!!! You may not even have to buy another one, it's just THAT GOOD. A true gem in every way.

This is an okay game NOT A MUSTBUY!The graphics are terrible but it is kinda fun. The sound is okay but there is way to much screeching. The music is weird but bearable. my advice is don't bother unless you have an up to date video and sound card.
Once again not a mustbuy, but mediocre fun.

At First I thought The Grapics were bad and I couldn't out run the police. But I helped my friend download a patch. The Grapichs Were Incredible and later on I wooped those police cars. Over All I think this was a great game. Note: If graphics are bad download the patch ... It really fixes it and it's for free! You can also download cars and other stuff there using the same instructions. Hope You enjoy your game!
