I love need for speed , but the series have be go down . shift and Hoot pursuit have basically revive this dead franchise . the last good nf game be most want and that be in a different console generation . this game deliver everything you can want from a need for speed game . I have the sense of speed , excellent sound , sexy car , big crash , and excellent pursuit that will have you on the edge of you seat till the finish line . criterion do a very good job , but they be miss one big part of what make the previous hot pursuit game so much fun . Split Screen multiplayer . hot pursuit be fun , but it would be even better if it have split screen . for some reason it be not there . this would make a incredible party game , but unfortunately it be online multiplayer only . I do not know why they would leave it out as it would make a great game even better .
