I have heard of the majority of these manufacturers but I can guarantee with the exception of the Vette, you will not ever be stuck in traffic next to any of these vehicles. I guess that the idea is to give you a look and feel of driving an untouchable car. The biggest improvement over the previous version is unquestionably the gameplay.
A lot has changed. The game engine has been redone and handles like a dream. It actually reminded me of Moto Racer except in cars instead of on motor bikes. I think that the reason it reminded me of this was because of the awesome power slides that you could use to make it around sharp corners. All you had to do was hit the hand brake and watch the tail end start to slide.
This made sharp corners a breeze. Not any longer. This also gave the game a real arcade feel to it which I prefer over true simulations. Another cool addition to this version was the inclusion of weather.
It is about time that someone made a racing game that had varying weather conditions. This added a whole new feel to the same track. Also, you could set the time of day on random so you could also race during the day or at night. For example, you could race on the Hometown track at night with dry roads.
Your next race could be the Red Rock track during the day in the rain. I thought this was a great addition to the game that really kept it fresh. Also new in this release is the Hot Pursuit mode. This mode had you racing against a single racer on traffic-infested roads.
Since the roads have traffic, they have to have cops to patrol the traffic, right? Since the cops are patrolling the traffic, they really don't care much for someone who fly's by at MPH so they chase you down and either slap you with a fine or arrest you. 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. Browse games Game Portals. Need For Speed 3.

Before a sharp turn, hit the handbrake without releasing the gas and begin steering through the turn.
