Killer aerial shots, intense chases, and a rock-infused soundtrack make for a heart-pounding ride. [18 Oct 2002, p.124]
-
80The sad thing is that even when you use high res modes such as 1280*1024, you still don't get anywhere near the feeling of a true photo-realistic ambience...All things considered, NfS: HP2 is one heck of racing experience.
-
79The game has an all around solid polished look, and still manages to retain a steady frame rate without any slowdown.
-
78The physics are extremely arcade-based, which isn't a bad. The problem is, however, that the controls feel sluggish and the cars feel like they're pivoting around a pole running through their center.
-
77Not the best version of this really great game.
-
72It certainly is a good arcade-style driving game, but it's nowhere near as fun as the PlayStation 2 version.
-
Overall I’m disappointed by the physics of this game.
-
70The ability to be the cop and call up backup such as the chopper and spike strips is a noble attempt but just not enough. They are fun to use but a few tweaks do not make a game.

Too bad the lame Career modes can't match the rest of the game's quality. [Feb 2003, p.74]
-
68A moderately entertaining, albeit retrograde, arcade driving experience. [Jan 2003, p.112]
-
While it's great to see it return to the PC after a three-year absence, it doesn't reach the heights of previous editions. [Feb 2003, p.67]
