If you are a fan of arcade racers, this game is a must buy. I think you will really appreciate all of the improvements in this game. I could not stop playing. It is very hard to me to really get the point across on how much of an improvement this game is so I can only suggest you at least rent it and see for yourself.
You will not be disappointed. NFS3 includes more of the most exciting, exotic cars in the world, better tracks than those in the NFS2 , and an AI that will make your heart beat faster than a jackrabbit on a date! Similar to the other two of the NFS series, but keeping an identity of its own, NFS3 keeps the traditional handling and many racing options that were found in its predecessors.
The cars in NFS3 include those that are well known Lamborghinis and Ferraris and those that are out of your average mainstream, such as the Italdesign Scighera. These cars offer a wide range of performances and, like the first NFS , are categorized into classes ranging A, B, and C A being the best. A few cars are in as bonus cars that you must unlock through the winning of tournaments and knockout competitions or by using cheat codes.
Tracks are done much more artistically than in NFS2. This nice scenery will often distract you from the race and cause cataclysmic results; A submarine outside the tube-road underwater can be horribly good eye-candy.
EA kept with the circuit style tracks from NFS2 , still not going back to the "road" tracks. Cops will chase your opponent now too, enabling you to use his problems to your advantage, but he can still do the same to you.
The cops make really crazy moves at times, trying to knock you to the side of the road, or flipping you against the wall. Spike strips and roadblocks can be avoided with careful driving, but occasionally they are impossible to get away from. As you evade cops more, they pursue with increased vigor. The AI is very good for the cops, but lacking in the regular traffic; I found that civilians will drive on the wrong side of the road at times and swerve back and forth in their lanes did EA put in drunk drivers?
Being a cop is quite an experience as well. Learning to setup spike strips in narrow areas and spinning delinquents out only takes a few minutes of a race. After you have absorbed these valuable skills, you will be a force to be reckoned with. EA also made NFS3 expandable with additional cars on their web page. This will very likely give the game renewed excitement whenever EA offers another car.
This is one of the best parts. Having a three-man race, driving class C cars, against many cops faster than all of you is edge-of-your-seat suspense.
During Single Race, the computer will fill in as many extra cars as necessary to make the total of eight racers. Simply put: breathtaking. Colored lighting really makes this game kick some butt.
A 3D card comes highly recommended as the game has so many nice effects that only come out well with some 3D acceleration. Colored lighting is utilized heavily in Aquatica and Empire City so without it, tracks tend to look mediocre.
If you are considering buying a racing game this year, it should be Need For Speed 3! The NFS series has continually dominated the "street car" racing genre ever since its inception. I own all three of the NFS games and I even still play the first one. EA has made a very good reputation for itself with this franchise and will probably continue it with a fourth installment. The Need For Speed series is on its third installment not including V-Rally and the old saying "the third time is a charm" has never been more true.
Browse games Game Portals. The Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit. You then switch on your sirens and the HUD targets the car you're pursuing with a green square 'highlighter'. You can then either choose to straight ram him off the road or get ahead of him and use the spike strip - the latter can be very tricky to do, but if done right, is rather gratifying.
Sadly, when playing as the cops, you don't get any AI police buddies to cruise with and hunt the speeders together, so you're on your own.
Of course, you could end up careering into oncoming traffic, but that's the beauty of it only being a game. It's a shame that the rather wacky cartoon-like effect of collisions that was in NFS2 has been removed - for example, you could hit a smaller car head-on in that game and the poor thing would go somersaulting backwards for half a mile.
In NFS3 , both cars come to a very crushing and abrupt halt as you'd expect, but it's somewhat less satisfying, and also isn't particularly realistic since cars in this game fail to show any signs of damage whatsoever the only exception being when you topple your car over which sometimes results in a fire starting.
And finally, here's an odd rumor I picked up from the Net: you may notice that some of the sports cars are disabled from the selection screen when playing in Hot Pursuit mode. Why, you may ask. Apparently, the companies that market these cars adamantly did not want their products related in any way to police chases or law-breaking, so refused to allow EA to license the models unless removed from the Hot Pursuit mode of the game.
Uptight, no? The fact is, no matter how many novelties you tack on to a game like NFS3 , the solo play mode is going to wear on you. When you're running just another AI-controlled clone car off the road, the maliciousness just kind of loses its sting. The good news is there's the multiplayer option at your disposal. The bad news is, though, you're limited to LAN or split-screen play because gaming over a standard modem on the Internet is pretty much unplayable. Hats off to EA for keeping split-screen, because that type of option went out the window with many developers years ago.
But hats remain firmly seated on noggins for not even trying to satisfy the urges of the thousands that want some online multiplayer excitement. Without a LAN, you'll just never be playing more than one opponent at a time unless you and your friends have high-speed Internet connections.
It's rather ironic that a game released in Europe - which is famed for not being a hotbed of Internet gaming activity due to extortionate pay-per-minute local phone charges - actually implemented such a fantastically playable Internet racing game a few months ago.
The game was Motorhead , and featured a simple client-server system that allow for 12 players , no less, to compete online lag-free with simple modem connections. If that's possible, then EA have no excuse for shunning the Net community with such lame network code that's not optimized for high latency play.
On the plus side, everything's in place and nicely designed for those who want to play modem-to-modem, over serial connection or on a LAN, with the traditional game lobby and splashing of host features. Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit is a professionally produced, rip-roaringly fast, frighteningly realistic, highly customizable, indescribably fun arcade racing game with state-of-the-art visuals and sound, that's enjoyable to play in both solo and multiplayer modes.
For those reasons alone, the game most undeniably deserves our shiny GDR Silver medal. A number of flaws that are not quite so crucial prevent me from going any higher an accolade - the tracks, while gorgeous and diverse to an extent, aren't quite as varied as they seem, and tallying the available tracks as eight when many parts of the maps are reused in two different courses is a little misleading. Also, the lack of support for stable Internet play over modem for a racing title in this day and age is insulting at best.
But, these are quibbles that do take a step back in light of NFS3's much more shining achievements - as arcade racing games go, there's little that can compete with the excellent standards set by this game, and no other title offers the depth that the Hot Pursuit does. So if it's high speed thrills in expensive sports cars that you're looking for, count this as a firm and very positive recommendation.

Use nglide which is a 3Dfx Voodoo Glide wrapper so you can get higher resolutions, local network play works, although sometimes the connection screen can go missing.
The game uses a single core so crashing or not starting on single core porcessors won't happen, if you have many cores run this for just one disable the other cores and hyperthreading via the BIOS.
