I like the structure of Hot Pursuit. Will I like this game? I'm not sure I like free roam...

It's less like the original hot pursuit from 1998 and more like the hot pursuit from 2010, whichever one it is you're referring to. While you're not consistantly selecting tracks to race on, it's more like having all the tracks combined into one seemingly cohesive environment, which you can either drive to yourself or "jump" to from your Hideout/Command Post. To be honest, it is what you want it to be; if you like more arcade-style racing where you go race to race, do that. If you want to just drive around until you find something you fancy, you can do that too. The nice thing that makes Rivals so compatable with different player types is that it allows you to make the game what you will. Don't like free roam? Don't free roam. Want to drive around challenging other racers head-to-head or messing with cops because you can? You can do that too.

I agree with Marshall. Fun to use. You do lose a couple of the controls for the game but my kids(8&10) don't mind. They use it all the time for Forza.

Not necessarily. For this game, as long as you have the room for saving the content, then it'll play smoothly for you. :]

If you liked GT5 and played in more than any other game I'd say yes it's worth the +20 bucks. It has some great added tracks, the game play is the same. I don't like how you can't choose softer tires for races, it's set up like on-line time challenges where you have to be below certain PP and have this tire or worse. And I don't like that there's no where to see how your friends are doing on the game, other than trophy compare and TT times. But overall I'd buy it again if I had to.

From everything I am seeing and reading it will not run well. In some of the forums they give to tricks and twists to try but they don't sound too easy or appealing to me. I guess it boils down to how badly you want to play it. I hope this helps.

If plundering loot, sailing the seas and swashbuckling is your idea of fun then YES this game is heaps of fun. :) There are essentially missions that you undertake to progress the main story line. Missions can range in length from short and sweet to epic encounters. But in between the main story missions you can also under take your own side missions like completing assassination contracts and searching for Mayan treasure, just to name a few (I wouldn't want to give away to much).

To me, it plays like an arcade game, the missions and campaigns have to be played with unlimited ammo, and invincibility, since to "win" you have destroy more targets than can be considered in any way "realistic". To be fair, the graphics and aircraft are the best I have ever seen.

Definitely. You cannot play offline and the campaigns are just multiplayer games with a set map progression. Therefore if you are looking for a 'single player experience' this game does not have it.

I used the controller for the entire game, even tho' I have a Fanatec CSR. There's a lot of none racing stuff to be done. The game froze constantly, especially with the none racing stuff. Can't say if they fixed that. You might want to check online to see if the servers are still up for this title. Reason? Tons of online cheevos. Boosting partners are a must! TA helps. The DLC is mostly a poker game with connective issues that made it's frustration level a 10 when trying to get parties together. Weird. Hope that helps.All that said, the racing parts were fun! Good cars, smooth controls. Looooong game. I used the controller for the entire game, even tho' I have a Fanatec CSR. There's a lot of none racing stuff to be done.

If you have a WiiU, I would recommend Lego City Undercover. It really is GTA V for Lego, complete with large open world city, wilderness, many vehicles and characters, story and humor--just no adult content.

It has a kind of bracketed 'story' mode which lets you choose which mission you want to do next based on difficulty and what suits you will face and unlock bonus missions based on which end boss you fight or the scores on the missions, and a 2 player mode of the same thing but with well, 2 of you instead of a computer ally, and I think there is a vs mode for you and your friends, I havnt tried that one yet, but the menu is easy to navigate even if you dont read japanese and the gameplay is kind lf addicting but somewhat repetitive, but I reccomend buying it if your a fan of gundam you will love it.

It depends...if you like eye candy then yes. The game looks and runs amazing at 60fps. The content is identical though

Tom, I bought this game as a present for y brother who used to be a pilot. It is possible to play it without any special piloting training and I know people who does that BUT my personal experience with the game was catastrophic. LOL My brother set all the airplane gadgets for me because I didn't have patience to read the instructions or watch the tutorials. I sat behind the throttle and couldn't get the plane off the ground. I tried for a while and when I finally took off, I looped in the air and crashed to the ground. It was a horrible scene. Thank goodness it was a simulation because I would have killed around 200 people. LOL Tom, I bought this game as a present for y brother who used to be a pilot.

No. It's boring and annoying. What could have been a fun and immersive experience is bogged down by necessary game scenarios (hit three switches) and after the monster finds you and kills you a few times, the game turns from scary to annoying and frustrating. The fact that you have no weapons to fend yourself off makes things scary at first, but eventually becomes just lame because only being able to run pads out the game since you have to retrace your steps again once a chase is over. It wasn't fun at all and I never finished it.

If you're a fan of First Person Shooters I would definitely give it a try. It's nothing ground breaking, but the campaign is fun and has a decent story, and the graphics are pretty amazing. It also makes pretty good use of the touchpad. As for Multiplayer I find it to be pretty fun to play, it's not to complex and is easy to jump right in even if you haven't played it before. Considering it's only $40, if you're a fan of First Person Shooters I'd pick it up, or at the very least rent it. I'm pretty sure there is a free 1 month trial on Gamefly if it's your first time using it.

Yes, its free roaming like Batman 2. You can explore the city as yu wish or follow the story. There is a lot of back tracking within the city because you need some specific abiliies to accomplish tasks.
