It's winter which means inclement weather and more time inside. This is when we usually buy and play most of our video games. After borrowing and enjoying Need For Speed: Undercover, our son asked for it for Christmas. After scouring the reviews, I found that it was generally rated as one of of the more mediocre games in the series. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit was clearly the highest-rated one, and sounded like the most fun as well. We were initially disappointed that it wasn't really open-world like Undercover (thought there is a free-driving mode that lets you play around). But after a few hours of playing Hot Pursuit, we all agreed that it was the most fun we'd had in a driving game since Mario Kart Wii. While it's fun to race and outrun the cops, the most fun comes playing as an officer trying to shutdown racers and wreck their cars before they can escape. The learning curve is mild and the cars are pretty awesome; my son's already become much more appreciative of the hot cars we see on the roads in Tokyo. I'm going to stop blogging and play it some more, now.
