About Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is a racing game released on November 16, 2010, for PlayStation 3, PC, and Xbox 360. It is published by Electronic Arts and developed by EA Digital Illusions CE and Criterion Games. It is part of the long-running Need for Speed series and carries an ESRB E10+ and PEGI 7 rating.

The game is played in both single player and multiplayer modes, and it is presented from first person and third person viewpoints. Its action theme comes through in its pursuit-based design, where you can switch between the role of a racer trying to escape and a police officer trying to stop them. Each side has its own tools for gaining the upper hand during a chase.

Hot Pursuit focuses on fast, high-speed races across open road settings, with the goal of reaching the finish line first. Its blend of racing and police chases gives the series a different angle from more traditional track-based titles.
