My fav NFS games are still the original hot pursuit games, circa 1998. I only played a bit of the new hot pursuit, but I thought it fit pretty well in line with my expectations from the originals.
Last one I played was the Run. I would call it a NFS sample platter. It pretty much rifles you between a number of game modes. (Race, time trial, police evasion, obstacle course). It's not bad, but everything kinda blurs together since you mostly are going in a straight path the whole time, and many courses have the same feel to them. It's fun, but not that memorable.
