The only problem is frame-rate. Like Gadgester said, it does drop low, especially when you are driving fast. Unlike what he said, it doesn't drop THAT low. Much fun involved, addicting, and I see why it is a Player's Choice game. Police have strategies to take you down. Plus choppers and roadblocks. If they really feel like it, spike strips. If you want to see it at a police point-of-view, you can! Just press down on the D-pad to contact the office and start the pursuit. The other directions are for roadblocks, planes, and extra units. You can only use each one of those 3 times. Anyways, just buy!

I have not yet played Need for Speed Underground 1 or 2 yet, but this game is entertaining within itself. You can be the cop and chase down and bust the bad guys or you can be the speeders and try not to get busted. This mode of play will keep you playing for hours. Not to mention you also have single player mode where you race against the computer in championships and try to earn money so that you can unlock other tracks and lots of great cars! Me and my whole family enjoy this game, and have not yet got bored with it.

Need for Speed is the only game (or family of games) that I've played for almost ten years. I still recall fondly the first version that came out on the original Playstation. It was such a technical and entertaining breakthrough back then.
The present version for Gamecube is, unfortunately, quite a significant letdown. Maybe it's because I played it after playing Burnout 3 for the Xbox, an outstanding arcade racer that packs tons of action with impressive graphics. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, on the other hand, feels very lame. The framerate is the most serious problem: even on an empty open road, the graphics can become jerky. When you have cops on your tail and a couple other cars on the road, the framerate can drop so low that the game is almost unplayable for a second or two. This just gives a frustrating experience.
The graphics is also lacking, compared to Gran Turismo and Burnout and other outstanding racing games. I don't think it's a problem with Gamecube's processing power; other racing games have better graphics on the GC than Need for Speed. It's apparently because EA uses the Need for Speed series as a cash cow, to hook long-time fans such as yours truly, and they just don't invest much in improving the game's look and feel. Three or four years ago this game's graphics would have been acceptable, but not in today's crowded racing game marketplace.
Car physics is also annoying for an arcade game like this. Burnout 3 has the perfect arcade, non-realistic physics which makes controlling your cars and racing so much fun and enjoyable. Need for Speed, on the other hand, turns into a rather frustrating experience.
In short, this game sucks.
