Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit, released in Japan as Over Drivin' III: Hot Pursuit, is a 1998 racing video game, developed by EA Canada and published by Electronic Arts. It is the third major title in the Need for Speed series, significantly incorporating police pursuits as a major part of gameplay. Hot Pursuit remains focused in racing using exotic sports cars, but features races that primarily take place in locations within North America, including various settings and climates. In addition, police Al is significantly improved over its predecessor, utilizing several tactics to stop both the player and the opponent. The game was released for PlayStation in March 1998 and later recieved an enhanced port for Microsoft Windows in September 1998. A PlayStation 2 version was developed, but it was canceled, however. During the Electronic Arts Keynote on June 14, 2010 EA announced that a new Need for Speed game under the same name, scheduled for release on November 16, 2010. The game's title suffix, "Hot Pursuit", is a term for police pursuit.
