NFS Hot Pursuit looks a bit nicer than the old one

How lazy are they that they couldn't think of a new name? Hot Pursuit 2? No they already made that, too. Nothing wrong with Hot Pursuit 3 though. It's like movie makers. You can't just remake something and give it exactly the same name! Hot Pursuit 2010? No sorry that's really lame.

Anyway, it looks pretty good, albeit a bit like Burnout Paradise crossed with Test Drive Unlimited with an added police mode.

EDIT: This is a much nicer version of the first part of the video:





Apologies (on someone else's behalf) for crappy sound but it is the best video.

It's made by the Burnout Paradise guys, which might explain the rather stark similarities in ridiculously over the top crashes, so hopefully it will actually be half decent. The crashing-until-the-other-car-is-buggered looks excellently reminiscent of Chase HQ, which is pretty much one of my favourite games ever.
