An outstanding sequel in all aspects. It offers a lot of new and fun features, yet the game doesn't move away from the core gameplay that made the first Underground so popular, which is pure adrenaline street racing.

Need for speed hot pursuit 2 is one of my favorite racing games. You have awesome cars, good music, fun levels, and police that can be annoying as hell. Buying cars is fun, multiplayer is great, graphics are great. Cons? - the game feels slow. It runs at 30fps, and you can see it. It's smooth, but ...

The straightforward nature of the levels begs for more openness, which isn't available. It was fun while it lasted, but even that wasn't that long. Getting through the game as quickly as possible takes a few hours. It's extremely short.

This game may not be the best fighter ever but it isn't horrible. BRPF's unlockables are absolutely some of the greatest ever.
