This game is the sequel to "Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit" which was once well received by players. In the game, players will once again drive various luxury sports cars, such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, etc., to deal with police cars on 12 tracks. It is worth mentioning that this Need for Speed game introduces a real-time changing environment system. Including rivers, waterfalls, beaches and more. Likewise, the police cars and complex road conditions from the previous game have been well inherited. And the computer’s AI has also been greatly improved!
Game introduction
Need for Speed is coming again to all players who love it! The new work EA presents to you this time is "Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2" (Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2)! As a new "Need for Speed" work, "Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2" does not follow the game content of "Need for Speed: Porsche Tour", but returns to the background of "Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit". In the game, players can also choose various super cars to compete on various tracks. "Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2", which uses a new simulation racing engine, allows racers to experience the style of NFS - using high speed and racing style to challenge congested traffic, police cars, and uncontrollable natural environments, and experience the fun of the game with other players through the Internet.
Game features
The game offers players a variety of game modes, including Challenges, Tournaments, Hot Pursuit, and Multiplayer. In the challenge mode, players have to run the best time possible on a track and defeat other opponents; in the championship, players have multiple opportunities to compete without the interference of police cars. Players who do well in the race can receive certain rewards, such as new hidden tracks and cars, interchangeable parts for more powerful cars, and some fun Easter eggs.
In hot pursuit mode, players have two characters to choose from. The driver must try his best to get rid of the police car, while the police car must try its best to catch up with the driver who is driving wildly. Players can even collide with each other and use various means to prevent their opponents from succeeding - and even push them off the cliff if necessary. There will also be more than 60 emergencies that randomly appear in the game that require players to adapt to changes, come and try your skills! In addition to challenging the computer, players can also compete with other players. Games that can be connected via the Internet support up to 8 people playing at the same time.
Game experience
1. The feeling of cornering: Expert players and car enthusiasts all know that the performance of a car = the performance of corners, which is where drag racing games are most difficult to create and require the largest amount of data. Anyone who has played Need for Speed 5 must be impressed by the realism of the curves. Need for Speed 6 is quite fair in this regard. Unlike Need for Speed 4, as long as you set the direction in advance, you can take the big curve without slowing down. If it doesn't work, you can still step on the brake and continue to turn. In fact, when a car brakes, the tires are usually locked, that is to say, there is no static friction between the tires and the ground. At this time, no matter how you turn the car, the car just rushes forward according to inertia. ABS? Yes, Anti-Break-System, also known as anti-lock brake system, is already standard configuration for modern cars. However, playing Need for Speed is not about driving normally, but generally pushing the car to the limit. When the car is in an out-of-control state at the limit, ABS will definitely appear weak. Need for Speed 6 takes this into consideration, so it is necessary to slow down the car on the straight before entering the turn, and then refuel to exit the turn. This is quite realistic. Players of the "death running" school should pay special attention.
2. Damage situation: This setting has been in place since Need for Speed 3. Need for Speed 5 is the closest to reality (the real situation is much more serious). Even the angle of the collision can be drawn, which shows the degree of care in production. In this generation, the car is the strongest and can generally withstand more than two sudden stops at 200 kilometers without any damage. Even if it hits billowing black smoke, only the maximum engine speed will drop by about 10%, barely affecting acceleration and steering range. Therefore, those friends who are "bumping against the wall" can go and drive it with confidence, and do not have to worry about huge repair costs like Need for Speed 5.
3. Modification: After all, the problem of PS2 players getting started has been taken into consideration. Need for Speed 6 does not support vehicle modification, which can also be understood as EA being lazy. This greatly reduces the playability of the game (protest!). Fortunately, there is another set of NFS modified cars in the game. But in my opinion, apart from the fact that the color of the car has been rearranged, there is no obvious improvement in performance, and this set of cars can only be driven in fast races. In addition, the process of the game is to accumulate points, which are used to unlock vehicles and tracks in the single-player game. After completing both sets of modes, there is no sense of accomplishment. However, it is such an old game, so just forgive it.
Game cheats
Because of its age, this game program is very simple and can be easily modified. Here are three ways I found out how to modify it. First, please open the file storage directory
Modify vehicle and track prices
Open the Cars folder and find the configuration settings file named Cars (the icon is a small gear under Notepad). Taking the Lamborghini Diablo VT as an example, find the section where Name=diablovt, change the values of price and nfsprice to 10, and so on, change the prices of all cars below. In this way, buying a car for 10 yuan is not a dream. Similarly, you can also find the Tracks configuration file in the tracks folder and change all the items containing the five letters price to -99999999 (note that the negative sign in front must also be added). In this way, you can also rebate money for unlocking the track. Isn't it cool?
Modify vehicle horsepower
Take the Ford TS50 as an example. Open the ts50 folder under the Cars folder and find the configuration file named Car. Find the Mass item in it and change it to a smaller value. However, if it is lower than 50, there will be serious consequences. It is recommended to change it to 469, so that your car will have about 2002 horsepower, which is equivalent to 2 Bugatti Veyrons. Modify each of your cars in this way, and you will have a batch of "magic cars". Those who are looking for more fun only need to slightly lower the Mass value to slightly increase the car's power.
Modify vehicle level
For example, to modify the HSV GTS COUPE to the B-class mentioned above (that is, the M5 level), first find the Name=m5 section in the cars configuration file under the Cars folder, find the Class item, and find that it is 4, then find the Name=hsvcgts section, and change the Class item to 4. The HSV GTS COUPE becomes the same level as the M5.
Operation control
The direction keys ↑↓←→ control the driving direction. The space is the handbrake for drifting; "r" is to return to the track (or playback); "b" is to look backward.
Press H to start tracking
At this time, there will be a red box above the target.
U is for call assist police car
J is for helicopter call
N is to set up roadblocks
