Need for Speed has hit the App Store three times now with the original release of Undercover and then the incredible Shift and now Hot Pursuit. Each game has got better and better, so this shouldn’t be an exception.

Firstly I must point out that in this NFS game you are playing the role of the cops not going undercover pretending your a cop by street racing with the criminals in order to somehow obtain secret info. Instead you have a marked car with the sirens and full whack and drive like a maniac in various events. The main event is Intercepter where you have a single target to bring to justice, Tough justice events simply mean multiple cars to catch, Power Struggle is a classic more familiar mode where you race against your police colleagues and the last event is Rapid Response which is a checkpoint event. There are a total of 24 events to play through and each event you are capable of earning up to 3 starts in. Bounty is obtained by various things you do such as smashing into cars and near misses which is translated into more cars that can be unlocked.

The main event and most fun to play is Intercepter/ Tough Justice. To catch the bad guys you simply need to knock their on screen health bar down to nothing by inflicting damage and pain. The target cars can be a real challenge to catch with approaching vehicles getting in the way and the criminal being faster than you so simply smashing your car into theirs only works for somewhat of the time. So you will need to start and think tactically with your armoury of weapons which include deployable road blocks, spike strips and EMP. The spike strips are only useful when your in front of the enemy car, the road block is useful for slowing down a car in front of you and the EMP zaps the in front vehicle causing it to slow down and loose use of it’s nitro and special abilities.

The controls are very simple to use with auto accelerate always turned on, braking being operated by sliding your finger down on the screen and you swipe your finger upwards to activate the nitro similar to Undercover. Steering is controlled by the accelerometer and to activate spike strips ect you touch there icons on screen. The controls were easy to use and worked well but you can’t choose an on screen steering wheel along with a manual accelerator which may annoy some. Read the rest of this entry »
