Many old players still talk about this game that was released in 2002 among many racing games because of its groundbreaking graphics and the pure fun of chasing police and robbers.
Groundbreaking visual performance
This game was launched by Electronic Arts in 2002. It used the advanced DX8 graphics interface at that time, and the texture and light and shadow of the game screen were concretely presented. It was at the leading position in the entire game field at that time, creating unprecedented visual shock for players. Whether it was the reflection of the car body or the details of the scene, it established a new boundary for racing games. The performance of its graphics even exceeded many other games of the same period.
Open and diverse track environment
The stage of the game is set in multiple scenes with significantly different styles. Here, players can drive a sports car through the streets that present a modern urban style, drive quickly on the winding narrow roads in the mountains, or drive quickly on the wide and spacious highways like winning a competition. These tracks are not of the type that are closed and can be circulated, but are areas with certain open characteristics. Such tracks create a vast and boundless space for players to evade police car pursuits and explore shortcuts that are not well known to the mainstream. This greatly enhances the degree of freedom of the game and makes it more playable.
Core police and robber chasing gameplay
The main fun of the game is to play the role of an escape driver and have to deal with the police during the race. Police cars will use various tactics to chase and intercept them, and players must rely on superb driving skills to fight against them. Use roadblocks, spike strips and other environmental elements to intercept police cars, or find and use hidden shortcuts on the map. This is the key to successful escape, making every game full of tension and strategy.
Rich challenges and modes
In addition to the main game, the game also provides a variety of additional challenge modes. For example, in "Lightning Pursuit", players have to complete specific tasks within a limited time, and the "Police Road" mode allows players to change identities and drive police cars to hunt down illegal drivers controlled by AI. The goals of this mode are different, but the difficulty is also different, effectively extending the life cycle of the game and satisfying the preferences of different players.
Personalized vehicles and growth
This game contains more than 20 officially licensed world-renowned cars, covering Ferrari, Lamborghini and other trademarks. Players can earn money by completing events, which can be used to purchase new cars or upgrade existing cars' engines, transmissions and other parts. Familiarity with the track can also be turned into an advantage, such as knowing in advance where police cars will be deployed, and then planning a safer driving route.
Solving common operating problems
This old game may encounter frame rate abnormalities when running on today's computer systems. With the graphics card control panel, you can set a reasonable maximum frame rate limit for the game program, such as 60 frames, which can effectively avoid screen tearing. If the problem persists, you can try to lower the game graphics settings or update the graphics card driver. These methods can usually solve most compatibility issues.
Do you still have relevant memories of that time when you threw away a police car on the mountain road beside a waterfall, and that time when you pretended to be a policeman and forced a sports car to stop?
