- Troll argues NFS Hot Pursuit 2 is a sim 2002-10-26 · 78 postsIn a cross-posted thread, a poster known as Eep insisted that Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 was a racing simulation because it modelled some physics. RAS regulars argued that arcade and sim were distinct categories and that the game's physics were unrealistic, and the exchange became insulting. Goy Larsen and others urged people to stop feeding the troll.
- Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 PC demo impressions 2002-10-15 · 66 postsPlayers criticised the PC demo of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 for invisible walls, arcade handling, odd camera behaviour and no cockpit view, with some reporting very low frame rates. Joe62 and others said the PC version was a sloppy port compared with Black Box's PS2 version. The cross-posted thread degenerated into insults and acronym jokes.
