I think what gets me is the sense of speed, which is genuinely great, or actually maybe it's more the sound design that sells the speed, either way something…

I think what gets me is the sense of speed, which is genuinely great, or actually maybe it's more the sound design that sells the speed, either way something about it just clicks even when the events themselves start feeling samey after a while.

It nails the arcade feel really well, the pursuits especially still feel tense even now. Where it falls short for me is the sense of variety once you've done a few dozen races, the formula wears thin.

I showed it to my kid expecting ten minutes of interest and we ended up doing pursuits all afternoon, variety be damned.

Oh sure, let's rank a 2010 cop chase simulator 452nd, truly the burning debate of our generation. I still remember my controller nearly flying through the TV during a pursuit that lasted way too long.

Yo también sentí eso, quizás simplemente lo jugué demasiado tarde.

not gonna lie, that controller nearly flying line hits close to home, mine actually did once during a pursuit against a helicopter chase.

TV explosée, souvenirs intacts.

My brother and I used to argue over who got to be the cop first, every single time, without fail.

Ppl underrate how tight the pursuit tech actually is, the way cops and racers get different toolkits changes how you approach every single event. It's not just paint swapped arcade racing, there's real asymmetry there that most racers from that era never bothered with. Deserves more respect tbh.
