Review of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2

This port from the superior PS2 original is a mixed bag of good and bad. About half of its single player experience is manageable and rewarding as I racked up points for avoiding pursuits & cautiously driving a distance away from obstacles and other vehicles to maintain 1st place, but the game falls apart with its faster vehicles, the computer-controlled vehicles start to become extremely brutal the second half of the single-player experience, and the game's physics overall is terrible. These cars are extremely sensitive to any touch of obstacles or nearby vehicles.
