As you'd expect, your opponents will get tougher, your goals harder to achieve, and the police less forgiving as you progress through this tree. In contrast, World Championship mode is laid out in a branching manner, and in this mode, you're required to successfully finish one race before unlocking the next. Called 'hot pursuit,' this career mode is composed of 33 individual racing events that force you to beat a number of opponents, while contending with the police, through a handful of different race types. Unlike other racing games, this one has two equally large championship modes, only one of which involves the police. Actually, Hot Pursuit II is like two games in one. It certainly is a good arcade-style driving game, but it's nowhere near as fun as the PlayStation 2 version.Īs its name implies, Hot Pursuit II largely focuses on the art of outrunning the law. That's not to say that Hot Pursuit II for the PC is bad. Instead, PC owners get a port of the less spectacular GameCube and Xbox versions of Hot Pursuit II. Unfortunately for PC game players, EA didn't port the superior PS2 version of Hot Pursuit II to the PC. That's because those two versions of the game were developed by a completely different company, EA Seattle, in order to ship on time alongside Hot Pursuit II for the PlayStation 2, which Electronic Arts considers to be the primary version of the game. While the PS2 version, which was developed by Black Box, is a wholly satisfying racing game with great graphics and a visceral sense of speed, the Xbox and GameCube versions of Hot Pursuit II are noticeably tamer in terms of control, graphics, and sound.

This sequel to the 1998 arcade-style driving game was made available for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube, but interestingly enough, not all three games were identical.
