Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit

Boring!

absolutely BORING. Simple as that. I love burnout paradise so it's not an anti-criterion rant. I've tried to get into this game but it's just a one (or two) trick pony and gets extremely dull in single player. There's just no incentive or depth to the game other than the repeated (and worn thin) concept of cops n robbers. zzzzzzzzzzzz And I don't even think it's that special graphically (even on PC), the 'universe' doesn't quite gel like Paradise did (or many other racers). Having said that I don't expect much from any NFS game these days so it doesn't surprise me, I thought with criterion behind it would excel, and while the tech side of things works the gameplay is as I said lacking. This is a vastly over-rated game by review sites.

I suggest anyone reading this avoid the hype (yet again) and go check out a different racer entirely.
