Electronic Arts’ Need for Speed Hot Pursuit action-packed racing game is now available for Android. Like its console-counterparts, NFS Hot Pursuit allows you to get behind the wheel of a police cruiser or regular race car. This means you’re either spending your time evading the cops or chasing criminals down as one of them. The game features in-game weapons, 20 precision-performance cars, 24 day-and-night tracks, and 48 total cop and racer career events. There’s also a quick race mode to get your speed fix in when you only have a few minutes to spare. Check out our video review of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit above, then head to the Android Market to purchase it for $6.99.
