It was pretty much a given that Criterion was going to knock it out of the park with its take on the Need for Speed franchise. Based on what I played and saw at E3, that’s more or less confirmed — Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit looks as awesome as it plays.
Don’t believe me? If you live in one of the seven cities Electronic Arts is taking Hot Pursuit on tour to leading up to the game’s launch, you can try it out yourself. The tour kicks off in New York City on July 14 at the Manhattan Classic Car Club with DJ Z-Trip dropping beats, in case playing a rad videogame wasn’t enough for you.
The tour will make its away across the United States, hitting “hot” local venues and featuring hip-hop and rock musicians, along with exotic cars, like the one-of-a-kind Lamborghini cop car displayed at E3. Hit the jump for the full schedule, and head over to the official site for more details and info on how to attend.
