Entertainment WeeklyKiller aerial shots, intense chases, and a rock-infused soundtrack make for a heart-pounding ride. [18 Oct 2002, p.124]
-
With plenty of racing challenges it should have a decent amount of longevity but their repetitive nature might grate for some.
-
Game InformerThe graphics are great and the only deterrents are some questionable physics and the idea that a cop could catch me in my Opal. [Nov 2002, p.134]
-
Although it has more than its fair share of good points, Need for Speed 2 should have been so much more and you can't help but come back to that annoying frame rate.
-
Electronic Gaming MonthlyIt feels more like a Sunday drive down a busy city street... Go straight for the PS2 game. It's far and away the best of the three. [Nov 2002, p.306]
-
At the core of any racing game should be the feeling of fast movement, and the Gameube version just doesn't seem to deliver in this regard.
-
This unfortunate version of HP2 is just plain slow and its handling just doesnt feel right. If possible, stick with the stellar PS2 edition or the strong Xbox game.
