Memory Lane Time Lapse - NFS III: Hot Pursuit

1998 Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit [PC] Track list: 0:18 - Hometown 0:57 - Redrock Ridge 2:15 - Atlantica 3:14 - Rocky Pass 4:37 - Country Woods 5:39 - Lost Canyons 6:56 - Aquatica 8:21 - Summit 9:46 - Empire City Look familiar? It should, unless you were too busy shaking Unit 20 off your tail to appreciate the scenery. So, allow me to refresh your memory. In 1998, cop chases make a return to the series as the main attraction to Need for Speed 3 Hot Pursuit. With it came 9 tracks to choose from. Unlike in previous titles, the tracks here had an alternate version; the difference being time of day/season and an alternative route to take. The exception to this was the bonus track, Empire City. These same tracks went on to also be included in the PC version of High Stakes, but only after you’ve unlocked them through a career event called “Memory Lane“. Also a first in NFS 3 was the option to choose night or day, as well as toggle the weather on or off for every track. Being one of the most popular and successful classic NFS titles, Hot Pursuit eventually spawned 2 sequels; one from EA Seattle (PC/Xbox/Gamecube) and EA Black Box (PS2) in 2002, and the other from Criterion Games (PS3/Xbox360/PC) and Exient Entertainment (Wii) in 2010. Exotics and cop chases never get old. Disclaimer: I’m not responsible for any vomit-inducing motion sickness that may ensue from watching this. Enjoy the ride. ;) Featured music: 1.
