"Need for Speed" racing video game gets a review.
'Need for Speed' Review
The latest chapter in the racing video game franchise "Need for Speed" hit stores last week. In "Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit," you can play as the speeder or the police. CNET's Dan Ackerman says the game also adds a new element to the genre.
"The thing that makes an online, multi-player game really successful is the ability to sort of taunt your opponents and get them involved in sort of that trash-talking," Ackerman said. "'Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit' is really one of the first racing games to work all that in and really appeal to that sort of social element of having fun with your friends, but also kind of taunting them and challenging them at the same time."
