A crew that races together, wins together.

Porsche Unleashed

  • Do well in Factory Driver missions, and your fellow Porsche Test Team staff will commend you for being part of your team.
  • Rolf, the Chief Test Driver of the team, acts as your guide. He welcomes you to the team, warms you up and encourages you to not just excel in the future tests, but to also have fun. If you fail in the early stages, Rolf will tell you to keep on practicing and never give up until you get it right.

Hot Pursuit (2010)

  • A small one. As a cop, the female dispatch voice will always maintain a professional tone, but being hit by an EMP will have dispatch show genuine concern in her voice.
    Dispatch: Monitoring a system overload, are you okay?!

The Run

2015 reboot

  • The 2015 reboot came out noticeably Lighter and Softer compared to Rivals - which is to this point the darkest entry in the series.
    • The way UI is placed encourages you to pay the fine you incurred during a police pursuit. It's nice to see the series that was mainly about speeding and breaking the rules actually pays respect to the law and real-world driving safety for once, even if it's only temporary.
    • The Outlaw story arc is quite noticeably the shortest one in the game, and the majority of the live-action scenes have the characters sternly point out the dangers and just general stupidity of cop baiting for excitement.
    • Unlike previous underground-themed entries where edgy racers are vying against each other, here we see friends generally having fun.

Heat

  • The ending. Following the presumable death of Lt. Frank Mercer, Lucas managed to win back his beloved family garage and reconciled with Ana, who gets the right to drive the fully restored Camaro as a gift. After all, you and the Rivera siblings achieved a happy ending after going through hell with the PCPD.
