Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 Box Art (PC)

Need for Speed, the award-winning arcade racing game, is back and better than ever in Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2!

Staying true to its heritage, Hot Pursuit 2 houses a stable of exclusive, exotic cars from the world's most coveted licensors including Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, Aston Martin and McLaren.

Race through an array of open road environments that come to life with river crossings, waterfalls, beaches, dusty paths, and brush fires. Rush through traffic, conquer multiple racing events, and outrun cops in hot pursuit to become the Champion Road Racer!

It is the last title in the Classic Era of NFS and won the Console Racing Game of the Year award in 2003 and was also notable for its more HD graphics at the time compared to previous installments, as well as helping popularize NFS before Underground.
