great racing title

This game rocks for almost the one reason of that it has the best graphics I've ever seen for a PS2 title. The colors are vibrant and no detail is lost. The landscapes are incredibly detailed for such a minor background, and even the bark on the trees looks real. The modes of gameplay are good. It takes only about a week to beat both the World Racing and Hot Pursuit challenge brackets, once you've figured out how to play the game well enough in any car. You can also be the cop, tracking down speeders in a certain amount of time. The fact that you can race with or without cops is great if you get sick of being blown up by police helicopters. My fav car: the McClaren F1 LM. It goes the fastest and adds a spoiler to the already incredibly cool McClaren F1. You must buy this game. It will be the best racing title you have ever played for PS2. I have never found a flaw with it, it has never frozen up on me, and there haven't been any malfunctions. I've been playing this game for over 3 years, so I know all the ins and outs. Tips for eluding cops: ditch them on oncoming cars, trees, and other racers. Rear end them before they can even turn on their siren and they won't give chase. Unfortunately, the last tip means you have to give up a couple of seconds on your lead or drop back a couple seconds in last place, depending on how good of a racer you are.
