Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit

Description

There are a number of different game modes that may be played in the third major chapter of the Arcade racing series developed by Electronic Arts. You have the typical race, but there is one significant change: from this point on, there will be law enforcement officers on the lookout to ticket you for going too fast. You also have the option to take a turn behind the radar gun and see if you can catch any of the human or computer racers who are going too fast.

This introduces a new Pursuit mode, which brings back the feel of the first Need for Speed game. In this mode, you must outrun the police across open-area tracks that are both fast and challenging, while also outlasting the other drivers in your pack. Another new game option is called knockout, and it consists of a race around all of the different courses. Whoever finishes last in each individual race is eliminated from the competition. The one who is able to keep going the furthest is, of course, the winner. The majority of the courses in the game feature at least one optional side path.

The vehicles comprise the Ferrari 550 Maranello, the Ferrari 355 F1 Spider, the Italdesign Scighera, the Lamborghini Diablo SV, the Lamborghini Countach, the Jaguar XJR-15, the Jaguar XK8, the Aston Martin DB7, the 1998 Corvette C5, the Mercedes SL600, and the Mercedes CLK GTR.
