Is Over Drivin' III - Hot Pursuit still worth playing in 2026?
Known as Need for Speed III Hot Pursuit, this Electronic Arts entry marks the series by introducing police chases, where you flee patrols or play the officer setting up roadblocks. The gallery of dream cars, the sense of speed and the thrill of the hunt breathe real tension into arcade racing. The angular 3D and dated physics have aged. An excellent racing game for fans of snappy automotive arcade and nostalgics of PS1 police pursuits.
