Hot Pursuit launch trailer is full of brilliance

You need this game in your life. No other option acceptable.

EA's released the launch trailer for Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, available today in the US.

It, unsurprisingly, features racing and lots of crashes.

Shift 2 may have taken some of its thunder today, but make no mistake, this is coming at you like a force ten wind.

The game’s now-defunct demo was downloaded 2 million times and played host to more than 20 million busts.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit launches today in the US and on Friday in the UK for PS3, 360, PC and Wii.
