Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) is a multiplatform arcade racing game. The Wii version of Hot Pursuit was developed by Exient Entertainment and is the fifth installment of the Need for Speed series to be released on the Wii platform. The gameplay and graphics seen in other ports greatly differ from this version.

Gameplay

Similar to any other version of the game, players can choose to play as cop or racer in several events. The driving in the Wii version also involves in drifiting around corners. Power-ups can be used, too, although they are known as Supe-Ups.

Unlike the ports of the game, players can actually launch their car in the start of a race. Customization is available, too. However, freeroam isn't featured in this title, as well as visible car damage.

Game Modes

• Career Play - The core part of the game. In this mode players can unlock new cars and race with crew bosses in four cities around the world. Events have to be completed in a specific order.
• Quick Play - Equilvalent to Quick Race. Interceptor events can be played in this mode only.

Race Modes

• Eliminator - After every 30 second, a racer will be disqualified from the race.
• Hot Pursuit - Players have to complete the race without getting busted by chasing police vehicles.
• Interceptor - This mode allows players to play as either cop or racer. While cops have to arrest anyone before one finishes the race, the racers have to finish the race without loosing to the police.
• Rush Hour - The same as Eliminator events, except after every 10 second, a racer will be eliminated. Over 100 cars take part in such events.
• Time Trial - Players are challenged to complete a track without bypassing a set time limit.

Car Customization

Players can get bodykits and new set of tyres on cars. Car paints can be changed as well.

Locations

Hot Pursuit on the Wii is not set in Seacrest County. Instead players can race in four major cities of the world.
