The classic driving game is back, and better than ever, so hit the streets in one of 11 immaculate supercars. All-new licensed cars for this instalment include the Aston Martin DB7, Ferrari 550 Maranello and the Lamborghini Diablo SV. With the ability to download more exclusive vehicles from the Need for Speed Web site, there will always be something new to test drive. For multiplayer enthusiasts, NFS3 supports up to two players with a modem or serial connection or up to eight players with a LAN connection. As if that wasn't enough, the already stunning graphics have been improved, with an even higher level of attention to detail that includes blowing leaves, smoke from the burning rubber of tyres and amazing weather effects such as rain, lightning, snow and fog. Finally, there's an all-new hot pursuit mode where you scorch the streets on either side of the law: elude the fuzz as a speeding motorist or enforce justice from a police patrol vehicle. Racing doesn't get any better than this. Review Need For Speed 3: Hot Pursuit (U) puts you behind the wheel of cars as prosaic as the Corvette and exotic as the Lamborghini Diablo. And--in case taking the vehicle of your dreams out for a high-speed spin isn't enough--you can race that car against computer opponents, other players, and the law. The game has a something-for-everyone design, with an excellent range of racecourses and customisation options. Racecourses can be altered to different times of day and weather conditions, varying their level of challenge. The game has a strong commitment to realism, going to extremes to differentiate the cars in appearance, control, and even engine noise. Driving uphill or on rough terrain has predictable (and frustrating, if it costs you a lead!) effects. Pursuit mode, where you can either run from or become the police, is entertaining and heightens the stakes credibly. Need For Speed 3: Hot Pursuit (U) is not without minor disappointments, chief among them being the lack of an Internet play option (although you can link players over modem and network). Additionally, some of the course shortcuts fail to deliver their promise as time-savers. It also comes with a virtual airbag--no crash is really terminal. This is a common feature of race games, but a strange convention--it contrasts starkly with the game's realistic driving features. You can strike a road sign, spin out and smash a competitor, or even hit a cliff head-on at 120 mph, and none of these accidents is fatal to the car or driver. Instead, players may back up, turn around, and floor it, in hopes of making up lost time and winning the race. -- Alyx Dellamonica Pros: Over a dozen high-performance cars Fantastic track design Innovative pursuit mode Customization options Cons: Weather has little effect on handling Cars don't show damage when bumped or crashed
