'''Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit''', released in Japan as '''Over Drivin' III: Hot Pursuit''', and released in France as '''Need for Speed III: Poursuite Infernale''', is the third game in the [[:Category:Need for Speed|Need for Speed series]] and significantly incorporates 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 received an enhanced port for Microsoft Windows in September 1998. A PlayStation 2 version was in development but was cancelled.
