Overall: Need for Speed HP 2 is a very fun game. I might rent but i just was very let down by this game and can't beleive people like this game. I hate you and am never gonna buy another need for speed game again. Suggestions: Get better cooler faster cars tracks, and make the game better in everything, especially in mulitplayer because racing crappy cars on a budgeted points isn't a fun game. The motors and horns were good the tires, sirens, and pretty much nothing special. Sound: the custom soundtracks were nice and that is about it. Graphics: The visuals were nothing special no effecys or anything on any tracks but some levels looked nice like the the landscape and sunset in hawaii but that is because the game is so slow that you can actually take the time to look at them. EA needs a kick in there little nuts i wasted a bunch of good traded games and cash on this game. Then when you hit a sign it spin in the air for like 15 minutes how pathetic is that. On mulitplayer you needed points to race and after days of trying to win races after about three races in multiplayer the points are all gone how gay is that you need to earn points top show off the fun in the game it is so bad it was embarrassing to play because everything was so bad. Gameplay: Everything seems so slow and crappy and boring i just can't get the feel of it. This game really sucks rent it don't buy it. I traded it and yet they didn't give barely anything for it but i still traded it for 10 bucks. Overall: I bought this game looking forward to fast action and cool levels just like other old need for speed games but this one just sucks. But thanks for letting me experience racing with Built to Spill playing in the backgroud. I wish I were more of a racing fan so I could play some of your follow up games. Oh and did I mention you can use your own custom soundtracks? The cops CB chatter is cool and greatly adds to the pursuit section of the game.

Sound: I usually have my custom soundtracks cranked up so loud I dont always hear every sound in the game but, when I am listening, I feel completely immersed in the race. I'm sure the graphics are a bit dated now but they still look good none the less. Graphics: IMHO this game looks great, maybe not as good as Project Gotham racing (which came out around the same time) but fps is good with no slow down to speak of. racers are no creampuffs which is a good thing. The race tracks are varied and challenging and the games A.I. Fairly standard racing controls and gameplay with the exception of being able to take down would be speed demons as the cops in Hot Pursuit mode (which is always a blast)make this a game with a little something for everyone. Gameplay: Anyone who's played previous Need for Speed games or any racing games for that matter will feel right at home with this game. I'm not a huge racing fan by any means but I love occasionally running a race and listening to my own music, so this game is perfect for me. A huge bonus for me is that you can customize your soundtracks and race to the music of your choice. This keeps the game challenging and gameplay never grows old. The main thing that keeps me coming back for more with this game is the fact that there are so many game modes and so many tracks and cars to unlock. I've had this game for a few years now and I still enjoy it. With that said, I highly recommend this as solid racing game that even a novice can pick up and enjoy. I've only played 3 racing games for the xbox and I only own this one. Overall: When it comes to racing games I am admittedly a novice.
