To bookmarksNeed for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 is a 2002 racing video game, the sixth installment in the Need for Speed series and the sequel to 1998's Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit. It was developed by EA Black Box for the PlayStation 2, and by EA Seattle for GameCube, Xbox and Windows. It features cars from various high performance and exotic car manufacturers. Players can compete in races using these cars, or opt to play as a police officer and pursue speeders.
The game features several popular recording artists from its time such as Uncle Kracker, The Humble Brothers and Hot Action Cop. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 received 'generally favorable' reviews on the PS2 and Xbox, while the PC and GameCube versions received 'mixed or average' reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic. In 2002, the game was awarded Console Racing Game of the Year at the 6th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards.
Gameplay
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 is a racing game with an emphasis on evading the police and over-the-top courses featuring lengthy shortcuts. It draws primarily from the gameplay and style of one of its predecessors, Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit. Two primary game modes are offered: World Racing Championship, in which the player competes against other drivers in a series of races, and Hot Pursuit Ultimate Racer, which adds police to the races. In the latter players must complete the races while also evading capture.
There are several a la carte race types in Hot Pursuit 2. Delivery is a timed point-to-point dash, with the police in pursuit. This is similar to the delivery mission in Porsche Unleashed while the police pursuit makes it more challenging. Sprint is a point to point race where competitors try to get from one end to the other before their opponent. Time Trial gives players three laps on a level with the goal being to beat the required time to get the gold, silver or bronze medal. Lap Knockout eliminates the last racer in each lap until one player remains the victor. Knockout follows a similar principle, but eliminations are made to the last racer at the end of each race. Races are usually restricted to a certain class of cars. Faster cars are used near the end of the Championship and Ultimate Racer modes.

Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit brought back the police after their absence in the second game and allowed players to play as the cops for the first time. Considered to be arguably the best NFS game of the classic pre-Underground era, it began one of the franchise's most celebrated sub-series.

EEGG
Named eegg, it's from MMNU.QFS and it's placed among tracks' vidwalls. It's likely it was supposed to be used as the vidwall of hidden tracks like in the PlayStation version. However, this version didn't have hidden tracks, so this picture is left unused.
Hidden Cursor
Apparently, one of the cursors is... an offensive gesture. It's unknown what triggers it, so it's probably a leftover of a developer's insider joke of some sorts.
Unseen Car Pictures
COMPARE.FSH contains pictures of all the game's official playable cars, including the Australian version's exclusive cars, the WalMart special version's Corvette pace car and even the DLC cars.
Cut Track Remains
Inside the language files, there are text strings for the hidden tracks in the PlayStation version, as well as Drag Strip and Oval - these will later appear in Motor City Online.
Leftover Loading Screens
The European release contains many garbage files, such as leftover loading screens. Seems like the Windows port was supposed to be closer to the PlayStation release.
