[cocoisss]

Finally completed this the other day, the Buggati is one bad ass car!!! :)

[alanpastor90]

hey there, im having some trouble with the app, i have the iphone 4s, downloaded this app an passing through the intro it gets all blurry and u cant see anything, u know whys that?

[SuperAlexFifa]

This is the best game of nfs

[AniqKasutAnggak]

@SuperAlexFifa should i get this or shift 2 unleashed? btw, do we drive police car in this game?

[AniqKasutAnggak]

@SuperAlexFifa i mean, only police car??

[slash23579]

@AniqKasutAnggak no you can be a police or a racer

[TheMaxerkid]

he has so many games ,he mustuv bought more than 3 iphones

[Shooter2know]

@Pimpekfun he does app reviews do you really think he will be playing the free version...... Subbed :)

[zuko25]

The end part was just...turrible turrible turrible

[pimpekfun]

Are u playibg the full or free version

[AppSpy]

@pimpekfun That's the full version.

[MegaBrendan16]

Mrops790 hot pursuit 2

[MrOPS790]

which should i get shift 2 unleashed of need for speed hot pursuit

[fareedbakhit]

wow O.O

dose the wii got a downgrade port of the i phone version?

some how the i phone version looks 4 time better than the wii version.

[Almostfull777]

is this playable on an iphone 3g?

[MrLeomoro]

is it an iphone 4?

[Drake14161337]

@SuperTechkid Yeah it is a really good game. Has a heck of a lot of cars too. I wish I had seen it before I spent $10 on Real Racing 2 (which has better graphics but I could have dealt with that)

[quimerapt]

what is the best racer on the app sstore right now, open to suggestions.

[Pokegod100]

Hey AppSpy, should I get Hot Pursuit, or Undercover? Or both?

[AppSpy]

@Pokegod100 Flip a coin and you'll have your answer - both are pretty good titles and unless there's one you want to play more the decision is just one of eliminating one or the other ;)

[raag13]

@Pokegod100 i say get hotpursuit...

i played both n found hotpursuit more fun...

bdw both r dam good :D

[1serhiy]

@Pokegod100  get real racing 2 but it might be a bit pricey

[drifttech234]

buy hot pursuit its cool yo!

[TheAsianInvasion23]

@Pokegod100 get hot pursuit

[6Cozmik9]

thumps up if you think this app is better than Wii

[technogadget13]

this looks very good, makes me want to buy a ipod touch =D

what is better? undercover or hp2010

[DimDiDima]

@technogadget13 Go With hot pursuit. since you can be a racer there too and theres more nicer cars :)

[ragelo12]

aww. The iPhone version doesn't show the awesome slow-mo takedowns. :))

[Da0li]

Did you say it only had two controls or tilt controls?

[Scar1427]

Are there any hacks for the game yet via jailbroken iPod

[AZY146]

ur talking about your face....lol

[AZY146]

when u say hot pursuit the first time (in the video) it sounds like u say hot pursue...xD

and what i dont like about this game is that it ends... :(

[AppSpy]

@fndrfreak0274720 I'd have been surprised if the mobile-phone version was better than the console one ;)

[oxycodonez]

@fndrfreak0274720

its for the iPhone you fucking dumbass

[garciaalexis12]

@fndrfreak0274720 youre an asshole,ps3 harware is way better than iphone's hardware

[WasikBird]

@fndrfreak0274720 Well duh. Ps3 is a console specifically for gaming. A ipod is not.

[hazik619jericho]

@WasikBird looks like you havnt seen the wii version yet

[MrGhostbustersclan]

@fndrfreak0274720 that was sooo fucking dumb

[NBTVonline]

Can you enter a racing mode or is it only A pursuit.

[UnIeash]

@NBTVonline

theres racing mode now.

[frobrofityfoe]

that last move you did was really stupid

[kurklazarus]

@frobrofityfoe well may be you have not played it yet. Play the game and then you will realize why he did that move.

[FuryPk1337]

asphalt 6 is good i have it lol better than HP :) they got advantages and disavantages RR2 Graphics are best for racing game but A6 is good for its gameplay so yeah if ur a graphics lover go for RR2 but A6 graphics aren't bad lol in my opinion ASPHALT 6 ALL THE WAY BRO

[alexmccoy11]

this looks better as an iphone app than on wii lol XD

[FancyPants1405]

What is the song that is played when you see the cut scene at the start of the game?

[Dereksolo]

It's amazing how this game is almost identical to the XBOX 360 version, and yet there's a $59 difference....... The days of the game console racketeers is coming to an end.

[A5sK1cker]

I think I will save up for real racing 2

[bonzot]

when you speak, your inflection keeps going down, and then it comes UP. you speak again, and it goes down the same way, then it comes back up, AGAIN.

it's very musical

[krislovercar]

Nah, I hate playing game that have timer

[3greviews]

Should I pick this up for .99c?

Or maybe save up some cash for RR2?

[AppSpy]

@3greviews It doesn't get much better value at $0.99 - RR2 will keep and is most certainly worth grabbing as a semi-realistic racer :)

[FLOYDROCKSSS]

@3greviews you have an 1-2-300$ dollar ipod/iphone and you are worried for your buck ? :))

[leoviper]

Looks like shit

[TehEliteProz]

lets wait for asphalt 6

[krislovercar]

@TehEliteProz Yeahhhh, hope that will be better than HP, im happy that i didn't buy it for 0.99 cents, it not worth it I guess

[BluesodaMania]

Well that just sucks, you cannot play as racers, only cops I'd guess but nice gameplay =)

[dj65ify]

asphalt 5 owns this

[krislovercar]

@dj65ify asphalt 6 will owns hp

[khiomuss]

its like old hot pursuit 2 on computer :D

[dartflare]

I still didn't buy it, because on NFS Undercover I got really desappointed as its too easy and short, on NFS Shift it got a bit harder but the AI isn't really good... I know they are mobile games and are meant to be shorter but I found Undercover way too short, I know the propose of Hot pursuit is Arcarde but I'm still waiting a racing game for iPhone to beat Real Racing... xD

[AppSpy]

@dartflare Well, Real Racing 2 is on its way ;)

[Camownzu]

@AppSpy well i just bought real racing 2 and believe me its worth the cost its basicly forza on mobile except u cant visually mod cars

[viper2290]

@dartflare try gt motor academy

[fuckknorretje]

which is better: nfs hot pursuit OR nfs undercover

[viper2290]

@fuckknorretje undercover sux

[jakergentry]

I wanna be chased not chase!! Y can't apple go both ways and I mean chase and be chased =.( people r stupid

[LordSamBob]

@jakergentry It's not up to Apple, it's up to EA and the company that made the game!

And if you look in the app files, you can find the .ipa files for the chased mode and switch them with the pursuit mode.

[JERSUB1]

wish it had free roam :(

[xjohnriggsx]

iPhone > PSP

[Boriratrit]

@xjohnriggsx That's a bit wrong.

[monstrum467]

Very good graphics with Retina Display

No Retina :Bad (i Play it on iPod Touch 3G)

[aspen9988]

At least the iPad or iPhone or iPod is better than the wii version

[alrhazes]

Please, how does this compare with NFS Undercover and Shift in terms of "replayability" and gameplay?And is it possible to play as a racer, not always as a cop? Thanks :)

[AppSpy]

@alrhazes You only get to play as a cop as of the current version. And it's roughly as replayable as the previous titles, but that really depends on what you're after out of the game. Each NFS game has a different focus, be it on semi-realistic racing, tuner car culture or arcade action; drawing a direct comparison isn't really fair.

[BLOOD1MONEY]

wow this looks G A Y

[kazper333]

@BLOOD1MONEY lol the igorant people still use this word to describe something bad? wow when will the foolish learn

[YoYa8d]

awesome 

[Joshua3244]

i have this game on my touch its ok but i think they could have done a lot better. For example yhe game would just freeze for 3 mins and it impossble to keep up with the other players In my opinion go play ashalt 5

[doomsblade]

i wasnt listening the whole time he was playing

[dadadannn]

Hmm ill wait til they update for global, then I'll buy it, thanks mate

[cyrax752]

gt5 will own this

[AppSpy]

@cyrax752 Hmm... well that's sort of a weird statement. GT5 is a racing sim. Need for Speed is an arcade racer. Other than driving cars they're not really games to be compared because they have completely different objectives as games.

[kazper333]

@cyrax752 lol your comment made me laugh, how can u compare an iphone game with a HD ps3 game it makes no sense, mayb if it was ipad true HD gaming but its not so your comment makes no sense, such noob

[dadadannn]

Andrew or some random guy, does this have global wifi versus mode? Cause that's basically what I want in a racer like this, a reason to keep playing after I beat it. Please help!

[AppSpy]

@dadadannn Negatory - local multiplayer only. It's perhaps one of the biggest weaknesses of this title and one I hope they'll end up correcting.

[kazper333]

@dadadannn True there arent many iphone apps that uses online but its awsum since now with 4G u won't need any wifi to play online now since 4G will have speeds higher than wifi except wimax

[neokru2]

so this is the burnout for iphone... (irony)... well i expected hot pursuit to be better than need for speed shift for iphone, i guess need for speed shift is still much better, but being a fan of all need for speed series i have to get this game even if it's not the best need for speed out there =)

[Roberto678998]

i think in nfs shift is better graphics

[OutlawSouljah89]

I don't think my shitty iPhone 3G can handle this game hehe

[nandutzu]

Steering-wise this game is a lot more frustrating and boring than Undercover. Haven't tried Shift yet, but this is just disappointing.

[NGCode]

for $4.99, it's not that good.

[AppSpy]

@NGCode For $4.99 I could get a coffee, or maybe some fast food, perhaps a few other useless things - or I could play Hot Pursuit. Relatively speaking I'd be enjoying this game for a lot longer :)

[FoxRS]

amazing graphics

[MotolympicRacing]

thi is iphone or wii?

[AppSpy]

@MotolympicRacing Read the title :)

[WiiManElite]

@MotolympicRacing ...are you serious? B|

[MotolympicRacing]

@WiiManElite yes, and I say this because I am very surprised that such high-tech thingy you earn more than many to the Wii. yes I've seen the NFS hot pursuit of the Wii, you'll realize what it sees as weights compared to iPhone.

[Boriratrit]

@MotolympicRacing Obviously iPhone, how does it look like Wii? lol

[MotolympicRacing]

@Boriratrit the wii looks awful, it seems that they had originally made for Nintendo 64.

[Boriratrit]

@MotolympicRacing Wii that looks like Nintendo 64, huh...that's awful indeed.

[gtabro1337]

god, all that shaking f**ked my head

[kthir3]

Anyone tested it on an older iDevice? Does it work on an iPhone 3G?

[CommanderGreats]

lol, the iphone game costs 4,99$ on the appstore, the pc version for ex. about 60$. and i think it makes more fun to play on the iphone, gonna purchase it now on the appstore, looks great and amazing graphics!

[lasseban]

very nice game ;D

[Nintenfrog1]

looks better than the wii version...

[djstk]

i hate accelerometer controls

[sam3938339383]

This games much better than nfs shift but I still haven't found a game for which I've really liked and played for more than a few days..hopefully infinty blades is going to be good can't wait for it to come out

[HackerMW2]

hey appspy i got a ? Whats ur fav game on iphone

1.pocket god

2.worms 2

3.angry birds

4.doodle jump

[AppSpy]

@HackerMW2 I don't play those games all that much; I enjoyed Pocket God, but I have other things to enjoy now; Worms 2, well I play the PC version with friends instead; Angry Birds I've never been able to completely enjoy; Doodle Jump still sort of baffles me as a popular title. When I'm playing my iPhone I tend to stick to some fairly basic titles, but I tend to find myself going back to games like Canabalt and Quick Hook. Game Developer Story is my current fave ;)

[HackerMW2]

@AppSpy thxs that kool well thxs for awnserin

[AppSpy]

@HackerMW2 No problemo ;)

[HackerMW2]

good job appspy keep up the good work i love this game

[1cicc]

Anyone who plays a dumb game like this is not only a clown, but a complete moron too if he plays it on an iPhone.

[AppSpy]

@1cicc Sweet! I'm a moronic clown! I wonder if I can claim government assistance for my new status.

[1cicc]

@AppSpy I doubt they assist any 28 year adult who plays computer games all day son.

[AppSpy]

@1cicc For one, nice guess on the age - I'll assume you're a stalker and I'm flattered :) Secondly, I'm only kidding about the government assistance; I'm being paid to do this full-time, so why would I waste tax-payer money like that?

[1cicc]

@AppSpy I check someone's profile and now I'm stalker? Quite some logic you have there....

Btw, quite a job you got there, make sure you mention it on your résumé;

2007-2010 Reviewing iPhone computer games and arguing with random people on YouTube.

[1cicc]

Btw, I hope you don't mind if I go to bed son, because unlike you I have a job that requires some serious intellectual skills.

Have a nice day.... game reviewer.

[billybobdj1]

@1cicc The fuck is your problem?

[AppSpy]

@billybobdj1 Honestly? I have no beef with people like this; he's out to get a rise and he's barking up the wrong tree for something like that. For one he has actively sought out a video game merely to ridicule it; and secondly he has ridiculed someone who has made a career out of reviewing. Both are patently silly and I'll treat it as such :)

[billybobdj1]

@AppSpy Nice one. Screw him lol.

[AppSpy]

@1cicc I know right? I love my job :)

[EzPzLmnSqzy]

I think this app review has the most comments lol .

[AppSpy]

@EzPzLmnSqzy It could use more! And to be fair I think half of them are mine D:

[NEEDCARS]

"We are now introducing the 500th dead NFS game: Hot Pursuit. Not only gay on every console out there, but gay on the iPhone to now"

[AppSpy]

@NEEDCARS Cool story bro

[levelman6666]

I just wonder- because I have JUST found this on Appstore- have you also downloaded AND reviewed this app just today? :)

[AppSpy]

@levelman6666 Like many games, this one went live in NZ/Australia before the rest of the world

[rx7sign]

This game actually really disappointed me.

[Trike17]

Is there a PSP version too? I was just wondering to make a comparison.. I noticed NFS: Shift looked better on the iPhone than it did on PSP..

[fromanDg]

i'm downloading it right now you speak through youtube. I've been waiting anxiously for a racer on iphone worth the money and I think I'm in!

[unap16]

Is it me or does it look better than Wii version?

[sohbenji87]

is there only 1 car in the game?

thruout the whole review u only showed the police car,

do we get to race as other cars too?

getting this game rite now!

[Furkan125]

@sohbenji87 no there is only this corvette to drive and your opponents drive that to there are no other cars......idiot.

[TheZodiac95]

is it only police??

[theghostofmw2]

wow cars looks like shit it must be for older gen ipods and iphones :( this is realy sad

[AppSpy]

@theghostofmw2 You mad?

[ThaPoopa]

@AppSpy

Y he so mad tho?

[theghostofmw2]

@AppSpy

no but how can you say the cars in this game is good look how unpolished they are... that lighting on car ruins car

[AppSpy]

@theghostofmw2 You'll have to excuse my ignorance, but I don't understand what you mean by unpolished. Sure the game doesn't feature 16xAA and all the other wonderful things we can expect from a full console release, but I had no problems recognizing the vehicles being used regardless of them being a cop or racer.

[theghostofmw2]

@AppSpy

I don't say it need to have 16xAA but looks unrealistic its the same as putting 1k polygons and making the car look like shit when other people can make with 300 polygons the same shit...

[Varesto]

@theghostofmw2 He's got a nokia.

[rxrotaryguy7]

@theghostofmw2 y u buttmad tho?

[joseegreg]

@theghostofmw2 why is that a bad thing?

[KiTTGTR]

this was nice

[VastedCouth]

Wait.. isn't there horizon stabilization when you tilt to steer? I though all iOS racing games had this by default.

[AppSpy]

@VastedCouth You can actually switch the stabilization on or off to your liking :)

[VastedCouth]

@AppSpy Oh, good to hear. :)

[AhmadStpats]

oh dude!! i just bought need for speed shift because its on sale at 99cents here in the singapore store.. and now this... dammit andrew!!! But good review dude. Might buy this too....

[julian35961]

The iOS game would be out as soon as the Pc,Xbox,Playstion version comes out which is in a couple of hours for the U.S.

[AppSpy]

@julian35961 I'm damn tempted to get the console version off the back of this one ;)

[julian35961]

@AppSpy Me to and thanks for the nice review.

[julian35961]

Nice

[infiltrator7777]

THIS GAME IS THE SHITTTTT!!!!

[infiltrator7777]

@infiltrator7777 I'm playing it right now!

[TheAznmofo]

OMG AWESOME!!!!!! YESSSSSSS

[royalmanga]

I am going to buy it tomorrow.

Thank you for the nice review.

[AppSpy]

For those waiting on the US release - It's out now ;)

[royalmanga]

@AppSpy Yep, Looking forward to playing this.

[infiltrator7777]

I'm off to buy it right now!

[controlboy42]

five dollars

[SmashEnigma1]

What would you say is the best iPhone racer?

[ProvnPoint]

Do a video of the Star Wars Imperial Academy made by Ngmoco Inc. I want to see you play it :]

[joker4life109]

Do u like all the need for speed titles(games) for the iPhone
