This is the story of them crashing into one another.
In Seacrest County, there are two types of drivers: The speed-crazed racers and the fearless cops who chase them. You can also connect with up to eight players (friends and/or strangers) for a hiccup-free online multiplayer contest-including Race, Hot Pursuit or 1v1 Interceptor modes. Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit - IGN Montage: Crashes. The Autolog GUI immerses you in a Facebook-style suite of connected features where you can navigate to your single-player career map post photos and comments on your “Wall” or connect directly through to your friends' games to compare stats, exchange pictures and perform other social networking activities. Offline, those events (selected via an aerial view of Hot Pursuits California-esque 'Seacrest County' base of operations) form a career. The cars and environments are gorgeous, the crashes are spectacular, and the new Autolog feature breathes new life into the time-honored tradition of video game competition among friends. Instead, players choose from a massive array of predefined one-off events spread over the games single-player and online components. Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit is pure over-the-top driving entertainment. Hot Pursuit's revamped interface puts a lot of its energy into helping you brag to your friends. Hot Pursuit is, thankfully, a Need for Speed without a story. You may not believe you're driving a real McLaren F1 or Maserati GranCabrio, but you'll have a nice time faking it.
Despite the lack in hardcore driving depth, Hot Pursuit's fictional Seacrest County scenery offers a postcard-pretty if exclusively rural backdrop, and the dynamic lighting and wet-weather effects inject welcome atmosphere.
