The game was Motorhead , and featured a simple client-server system that allow for 12 players , no less, to compete online lag-free with simple modem connections. If that's possible, then EA have no excuse for shunning the Net community with such lame network code that's not optimized for high latency play.
On the plus side, everything's in place and nicely designed for those who want to play modem-to-modem, over serial connection or on a LAN, with the traditional game lobby and splashing of host features.
Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit is a professionally produced, rip-roaringly fast, frighteningly realistic, highly customizable, indescribably fun arcade racing game with state-of-the-art visuals and sound, that's enjoyable to play in both solo and multiplayer modes.
For those reasons alone, the game most undeniably deserves our shiny GDR Silver medal. A number of flaws that are not quite so crucial prevent me from going any higher an accolade - the tracks, while gorgeous and diverse to an extent, aren't quite as varied as they seem, and tallying the available tracks as eight when many parts of the maps are reused in two different courses is a little misleading.
Also, the lack of support for stable Internet play over modem for a racing title in this day and age is insulting at best. But, these are quibbles that do take a step back in light of NFS3's much more shining achievements - as arcade racing games go, there's little that can compete with the excellent standards set by this game, and no other title offers the depth that the Hot Pursuit does.
So if it's high speed thrills in expensive sports cars that you're looking for, count this as a firm and very positive recommendation. Screenshots from MobyGames. XNeonX 0 point. F1ELDS 0 point.

Use nglide which is a 3Dfx Voodoo Glide wrapper so you can get higher resolutions, local network play works, although sometimes the connection screen can go missing.
The game uses a single core so crashing or not starting on single core porcessors won't happen, if you have many cores run this for just one disable the other cores and hyperthreading via the BIOS. Repliroid 1 point. Absolutely invaluable asset to retro gamers. Thanks so much for preparing this archive.
Des 1 point. Awesome game, my favourite of the series. At the time the graphics with a 3DFX were probably the best in any racer on the pc. The mod scene mad the game even more.

There's an all-new Hot Pursuit mode wherein you scorch the streets on either side of the law: elude the fuzz as a speeding motorist or enforce justice from a police patrol vehicle. This game supports hardware acceleration, but you can play it software-rendered too. In the demo version, you race against the other cars no Hot Pursuit mode. Full Specifications.

They also resort to such trickery as road blocks and spike belts to try and stop you. Although this mode was fun for a few races, it did get to be a bit annoying having to slow down and get stopped by the cops all of the time. Maybe I was just not good enough to get away from them, but it seemed awfully tough to elude them. Also, since when can an old Barney Fife cruiser keep up with a Ferrari? Well, it happened all the time in this game.
I would be flying at MPH and the cops would be keeping up with me stride for stride. I do wish that they would have added a medium difficulty level to the game.
You only have a beginner and an expert level. I rip through the beginner level with ease but when I tried playing on expert, it seemed that all of the cars had been hopped up and I was unable to keep up. I did eventually win some races but it was very difficult, and you had to almost have a flawless race. It was inevitable that you would wreck at least once per race and if you did, you had no chance of winning.
It would have been nice to have a middle step instead of a giant leap. The last thing about this game that made it so much fun was the tracks. All of the tracks were packed with short cuts and seemed to stretch on forever.
It would take 4 or 5 races before you would really get to learn the ins and outs of each track and then you would start looking for the shortcuts. You had a ton of different terrain that you would race through from snow covered hills to the desert to small towns. I could not wait to see the next track when I first starting playing and I was enamoured when I found that winning the knockout mode opened up another new track. All in all, you will be playing for a long time before you start to get tired of the tracks.
Oh yeah, one more thing. If you have not already gone out and purchased an analog controller, I suggest you do so. These are high end, top dollar sports cars so you may as well get the true feeling of the handling. Talk about an improvement! The lackluster graphics of NFS past are gone and replaced with some great 3D graphics.
The cars and tracks look much better which results in an overall more enjoyable game. There were a few breakups on occasion and the backgrounds did have a tiny bit of a grainy look but it was not really noticeable. All in all, you will be pleasantly surprised with the look of this game especially if you are a NFS veteran. If you are a fan of arcade racers, this game is a must buy.
I think you will really appreciate all of the improvements in this game. I could not stop playing. It is very hard to me to really get the point across on how much of an improvement this game is so I can only suggest you at least rent it and see for yourself.
You will not be disappointed. NFS3 includes more of the most exciting, exotic cars in the world, better tracks than those in the NFS2 , and an AI that will make your heart beat faster than a jackrabbit on a date! Similar to the other two of the NFS series, but keeping an identity of its own, NFS3 keeps the traditional handling and many racing options that were found in its predecessors.
The cars in NFS3 include those that are well known Lamborghinis and Ferraris and those that are out of your average mainstream, such as the Italdesign Scighera. These cars offer a wide range of performances and, like the first NFS, are categorized into classes ranging A, B, and C A being the best.
A few cars are in as bonus cars that you must unlock through the winning of tournaments and knockout competitions or by using cheat codes. Tracks are done much more artistically than in NFS2.
