Need For Speed Hot Pursuit

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is a 2010 racing video game developed by Criterion Games and published by Electronic Arts for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Windows, iOS, Android, webOS, and Windows Phone, and by Exient Entertainment for the Wii. Hot Pursuit is the sixteenth Need for Speed title and was released first in November 2010, and digitally in December. The game serves as both a reboot of the series and a revival of the Hot Pursuit name first used in Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit (1998).

Hot Pursuit is set in the fictional Seacrest County, which is based on the American states of California, Oregon and Washington, in which players can compete in several types of races. Players can compete online, which includes additional game modes such as "Interceptor", "Race", and the titular "Hot Pursuit". The game features a new social interaction system called "Autolog", which is a network that connects friends for head-to-head races and compares player statistics for competition. The game also features paid downloadable content in the form of new vehicles, events, and achievements.

Hot Pursuit was first revealed at E3 in July 2010, and released on 16 November of that year. Hot Pursuit was well received by critics and was the recipient of numerous accolades: it was awarded with "Best Racing Game" from the 2010 Game Critics Awards, and also won several similar awards at other outlets, including Best Driving Game at the Spike 2010 Video Game Awards and a BAFTA Award for its Autolog multiplayer component.
