NFS: HP2 (PS2) [Walkthrough] - Event #25: U.S. vs Germany Race Knockout (Ultimate Racer)

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 (PlayStation 2 - EA Black Box Version) [Full Walkthrough] - Event No. 25: U.S. vs Germany Race Knockout [Ultimate Racer / Hot Pursuit] (1440p 60fps - Quad HD - 2K 60fps)

• ABOUT THE PLAYSTATION 2 VERSION OF "NEED FOR SPEED: HOT PURSUIT 2":
The PlayStation 2 version of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, developed by EA Black Box, is seen as the best version of all time. It includes extra features like the Desert environment, weather effects, mirrored tracks, tougher pursuits with helicopters dropping barrels, and a point-based progression system divided into Ultimate Racer (pursuit) and Championship (racing) events. In contrast, the EA Seattle versions on PC, Original Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube lack these features. They have a stricter one-bust pursuit system and feel more limited and less polished overall.
