I found it very challenging and difficult to get away from them. When they give chase you can pull over immediately, and they will issue a warning. If they take you by force, you are busted. Getting caught causes you to lose valuable time. If they catch you too many times, you will be placed under arrest and the game will be over. If you decide to play as the police, you can call in for backup, set up roadblocks, and even use spike strips to stop those pesky speed demons.
One thing that I found wrong with the Hot Pursuit mode is the computer-controlled police giving chase and arresting you when you are driving within the speed limit, or even when you are sitting still.
Other than that, it is a lot of fun to play. There are numerous tracks to race on in the tournament mode, but you must place in the top three to unlock newer ones. If you compete in a race without damaging your car, you will be awarded a safe driving record bonus. If you damage your car, you will get stuck with the repair bill at the end of the race. You will find that this is especially more important as you drive the more expensive cars that cost a lot of money to fix.
The "real car damage" is fairly realistic, and can make your car lose some power and handling performance if it is damaged. One thing I found that was not realistic was the fact that you could totally thrash a car in a manner that would undoubtedly total it and make it undrivable in real life, but the BMW Z3 Roadster which I put through a punishment test kept on driving with only minor performance losses and dents.
The repair bill was quite a bit higher than if I had just scraped a few cars on the course, but was much less than if I had actually crashed it as I did. While this game is much more realistic than others, it still is not totally realistic. I am sure that a race car driver would not try this in real life anyway, but I just wanted to try to see what would happen if you put one of the cars through a torture test such as this.
This should not prevent you from buying this game, because it in no way detracts from the quality of the rest of it. There were only a few minor things that I did not like about this game, which I will discuss later. It will vibrate as you take sharp corners, the wheels lose traction, and when your car runs into another car or hits an obstacle.
I feel that the cars react very realistically when you take a sharp corner and the car starts to skid. You can turn the car harder which will increase the skidding, or even put on the emergency brake which will cause the car to spin out.
This game has a lot of tracks to race on. They are quite varied, detailed and interesting. Each one has its own characteristics and theme. Some wind through the countryside, and others will weave through towns and urban areas. With a wide variety of tracks, you will surely find this game challenging and interesting for quite a long time.
One way around this would be to have an extra memory card to copy your cars on. If you were to lose one in the high stakes mode, you would still have it "cloned" on your other memory card. I guess that would be cheating, and would take away from the excitement of actually putting your car on the line. There are many options to further challenge your racing ability. You can add traffic, weather and night driving to add a bit of realism and difficulty.
The game only requires one block of memory. There are only two things that I did not really like about the game, but neither one should prevent you from buying it.
The game has random music tracks playing in the background of the races, and a few of the tracks are downright annoying and corny. Some of them are all right, but I was by no means impressed. The nice thing about the music is that you have the option of changing the song being played at any time, and can even turn the music off when you want.
I would suggest putting on your own favorite music if you like to listen to tunes while you race. The cars, racetracks and scenery are very good. There are some minor limitations at times when your car is cruising at top speed with blocky road graphics, but this is very minor and probably not noticeable to most people. They really did a great job here. I would have to say that if you enjoy racing games that you will not be disappointed with this one.
It is very well done. Need for Speed: High Stakes also contains an Arcade mode that consists of three four types of competitions: Single race - you need to get to the finish line first; Chase - the ability to play both a racer and a policeman; Elimination - a series of races where the driver who finished last is eliminated; Tournament - Required to earn the highest number of points in a streak.
