People stand in line, go crazy for Need for Speed in NY

Over the next few months, Electronic Arts is touring the United States with Criterion’s upcoming racer, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. First stop? New York City!

Oh, by the way — you might have missed it. It happened already. But the good news is that there’s video, courtesy of EA. It features a bunch of people standing in line and checking their cell phones, before getting their hands on the game… and going absolutely bats**t over it. Doesn’t matter if you’re a NYC local, a hip-hop superstar, or DJ Z-Trip… Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is the best thing ever.

No really, it’s actually pretty good. I played it at E3. It’s out this November, and I’m looking forward to playing it and going bats**t in my living room.

Looking to hit up the Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit tour? Next stop… Chicago, August 7.
