Overall, my first impressions of this remaster is a good one and it just keeps getting better the more I play it. I have streamed it a couple of times not because tons of people have been watching but simply because I want to share my love for the game with others.

- The Need for Speed series isn’t the behemoth it used to be but it’s great to see one of the last great entries in the series make its way over to Nintendo Switch. It may be a ten-year-old game, but it manages to stand toe to toe with other more recent examples on the console with ease.
- 8.0Against all odds (read: some big-name racing games that eventually turned out disappointing), Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered is the racing game to get this holiday season. It’s pure video gaming at its best with no extra thrills or frills other than serious pedal to the metal racing. It wisely focuses on what it does best and therefore drives to the finish line as a winner.
- 7.7If you haven’t played Hot Pursuit and want an exhilarating racer this is a must own and while you’re at it bump up the score below by 1.0, but as a remaster it only does enough to make it competent and does little to stand out from the litany of remasters out there.
- Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered brings the classic 2010 arcade racer to the Nintendo Switch. It harkens back to the heyday of the series when they were at their peak. While it’s fun, it doesn’t bring much new to this port so It ends up feeling dated and the progression grindy.
- 7.0Many would argue its simplicity is a strength, however, and the reality is that despite the lack of depth it's still a hugely entertaining time whether you're playing as a racer or a cop. If you struggle to stay afloat with all the faffing around in modern games, this old-school dose of straightforward racing goodness is your life jacket.

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered Reveiw
Out of the thousands of driving games across all gaming platforms, I would rank this in the same tier as Forza Horizon 4 or grand tourismo. This game is incredibly realistic. With three different views for the player to choose from, several modes of play, and hundreds of cars to collect, the player races to avoid police, win races, or catch criminals. This games learning curve is extremely easy, even for amateurs like me. Definitely buy this game.
I'm not a fan of the need for speed series either am i a fan of Racing/Driving games. But still, i gave it a shot, I only play Career mode. I never seen the 2010 graphics of this game, but the Remastered version Graphics feels like a 2014 game. It's Remastered anyways. They nailed the Gameplay, Win each level of the game lasting up to 5 mins each, It's usually chasing after a wanted Person or you being chased and trying to escape. With lots of levels to complete With photomode to take Incredible shots of the beautiful terrain, Plus all the DLC(s) in the Remastered edition. Like i said, i'm not a fan of Racing games but this is good. Heard lots of people talking about how good 2010 Need for speed Hot pursuit online is. I played the game on the xbox One for free with gamepass.
