Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2
The best arcade racer to hit the PS2. With it's combination of really fun gameplay, good delivery, terrific tracks and robust modes, this is definitely worthy of gracing the collection of any console racing fan.
The best arcade racing game available for the PlayStation 2.
The graphics are sweet, and the racing is sweeter still. Its pure, unashamed, high-energy fun, and it lasts for ages!

This game laid the foundations for many great NFS games that came out after it and it managed to be really fun despite a few little downfalls. First off the car and track selections are amazing, although the races do drag on for way too long. AI is kinda wonky sometimes too. The racing feels really nice and having the shortcuts is a really nice addition to the tracks and make races a breeze if you can nail them down perfectly. Im feeling kind of split on the police, when the conditions are right, police chases make for incredible and very tense setpieces, but when things go wrong it feels like you're getting drowned and trying to barely get gasps of air while getting doused in red and blue lights

Has everything I've ever wanted from a sports car racing game: Cool rides, some of the best engine noises ever committed to a gaming sountrack and most importantly, a sense of incredible speed and power. [Nov 2002, p.186]

The soundtrack is exceptional, offering rock and techno play-lists, and a fully customizable jukebox feature letting you filter any tunes or even whole genres however you like.

Best racing game for PS2, period. One of the best NfS games and one of the greatest racing games ever as well.

Strangely, the best version is on the least-powerful hardware. [Feb 2003, p.93]

Not only one of the best games in this long-running series, but also one of the fastest, most visceral, and most polished racing games currently available for Sony's console.

Whilst definitely not monumental, it’s a fair distraction that’s in need of a bit of a boost.

Driving through such locations would be a joy in itself if only you felt some sense of response from the cars. As it is, the sensation of driving goes largely unchanged with terrain.

the only cool thing about this game is the multiplayer, other than that the campaign is horrible

Decent racing game and awesome that they have a Rush song in it! I would say it's not one of the better games in it's genre for PS2 but you'll get some satisfying hours in playing it
