There is a Reason that Gamespot didnt rated it on PC. . . . . . . .
User Rating: 7 | Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit PC
I bought this game and found it extremely fun-to-play especially the autolog feature but i was very disappointed when i tried to run it on my PC Which EXCEEDS the recommended requirements but it wasnt able to run it with as smooth FPS as on Console. I even patched the game but then i was again disappointed because EA didnt optimized it for PC which causes a -1.0 in score now the second thing is that there is no good damage (only dents and scratches) but of course this is not burnout and the Handbrake for god sake is Almost instant even if you are going on 400+ km/h the car would stop with in few metres of space! and you dont really have to worry about countersteer while drifting the car does it automatically for you plus free roam doesnt really affect your career, there are no cops in free roam either and thats another -1.0 in score. The third thing is that all you have to do the entire game is to chain drift along turns and you are first. This game is easy as hell if you are a hardcore gamer which causes a final -0.5 decrease in score.
On the bright side this game is Very very fun to play with your friends and cars of this game are fantastic but the are very few cars in the hyper series half of which belong to Koenigsegg. No customization no visual modifying. Cars are too easy to unlock. And there is no DLC coming for PC! If you want to play this game play it only on Consoles. Please.
