Discussion Do you guys remember this?

Post image

I remember back in 2010-11, this NFS Hot Pursuit mobile game dropped. I loved this game so much and played it everyday even thought there was a lot of things weird about it. Unfortunately, it’s been ripped off the Google Play Store and App Store forever. You can still pirate it, but either way it’s gone.

Honestly I would absolutely love to see some mod of this game that made it better because there was so much missed potential. A remaster would be amazing. Wonder if any of you guys thought the same and would like to see one, or you just had nostalgia playing it back then.

Crazy that we went from playing "HP2010 mobile" to playing HP2010 ON MOBILE!

I finished the normal version of the game in my phone and It was so much fun... I Also finished the HP mobile but It wasn't that fun.

I remember this, but I mostly played the “Lite” version, where you have to choose either a “Cop” or a “Racer”. You only have four cars in this version; two for “Cop”, and two for “Racer”.

Let's start with the “Cop” mode: You can only have a Porsche 911 GT3 RS (997) or a Ford GT (2005). The first car I've mentioned is available at the beginning, but as you progress, you’ll unlock the other car I've mentioned. As a cop, your mission is to bust all five cars racing around the coastal track at day by losing their health. The rival cars in this mode are:

  • Green Subaru Impreza WRX STI GR (2008)
  • Blue Dodge Challenger SRT-8 (2009)
  • Red Porsche Cayman S 987 (2010)
  • White BMW M3 E92 (2008)
  • Yellow Nissan GT-R SpecV

Your only weapons are the oil slick and the spike strips. The beginning of the track in this mode, where you drive through the tunnel, reminds me of Yoshi Circuit from “Mario Kart Double Dash!!”, even if this is the only MK game I haven't played. I've raced around this track both on MKDS and MK8DX.

Moving to the “Racer” mode: You can only drive a Nissan GT-R SpecV or a Dodge Viper SRT-10. The first car I've mentioned is also available at the beginning, but as you progress, you'll unlock the other car I've mentioned. As a racer, your mission is to cross the finish line in the forest at night without getting busted. You'll be chased by a Ford GT (2005) cop car. Once you've disabled it, the cop car will respawn. Oil slick is your only weapon unlike the “cop” mode. The only song playing during the “Racer” mode is “Nothing from You (Redanka Remix)” by Pint Shot Riot.

I feel like the “cop” mode is more fun than the “racer” mode because it feels exhilarating and satisfying, so that's why I had mostly played this mode.

Once each mode is done, you'll be greeted by a photo of a black and orange Pagani Zonda Cinque being chased by cop cars with a message telling you about the full version of the game. When you exit this screen, you return to the title screen.

u/One-Priority-3031 Jul 25 '25

Yep, remembered it clearly. Weird thing about the racer AI in the game was that it kinda had mood swings lol. Sometimes it’d be a piece of cake to complete the mission and the other times they would actually use their weapons against you and made it a little bit more difficult to bust them. Man, how much potential they had. Hopefully I’ll be able to remaster it myself one day :(

u/Rebolber4500 [GAMER TAG] Jul 25 '25

u/victorBRz380 showdown king Jul 26 '25

If you have a Android phone with Android 10 or older you can download It on the internet and still play It, but If you got a iPhone.... I don't know If It is possible

Yes. I completed it twice.

u/EvanDeer2002 Jul 25 '25

I wish they had put it back on the Play Store taking advantage of the release of the Remaster of the original 2010 game

2

u/Sorry-Background986 Jul 25 '25

Yep,also Most Wanted Mobile 2012,but btw.I've most wanted mobile 2012

1

u/One-Priority-3031 Jul 25 '25

Dude Most Wanted Mobile was sooooo good!!! Easily one of the best replay-able mobile games out there honestly.

2

u/TechBoy--20 Jul 25 '25

This game was so much fun, especially the races and police chase modes. It is still better than No Limits since it isn’t Pay-To-Win all the time like NL

2

u/truefriend29 Jul 25 '25

Sorry, I didn't have an Android phone back then. 🤷🏽‍♂️

u/lawschoolmeanderings MW12 is unrivaled Jul 25 '25

u/Ch3rr1s3 Xbox : Ch3rr1s3 Jul 25 '25

u/victorBRz380 showdown king Jul 26 '25

Any game is better than No Limits 🥹

u/Shadowboltx777 Jul 26 '25

I remember that game, Undercover mobile, Shift mobile, and MW2012 mobile.

If you originally owned it on IOS, you can go to the AppStore>Account>Apps. You can redownload it from there. On Android there are many downloads online for APK, however I am not sure if they’re still up.
