NFS Hot Pursuit Available For Free For Samsung Galaxy S2 Users
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is a very good car racing game for Android users. EA sells the game through the Android Market for $6.99. But, here’s a very good news for Samsung Galaxy S II owners, they can save $6.99 and download the game for free from the Samsung Apps store application present in their phone. Earlier, Samsung through Samsung Apps provided GameLoft Asphalt 6 for free to all Galaxy S2 users. Even, at the time of posting, Asphalt 6 is still available for free to all Galaxy S II users in all regions.
In case of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, there is only one gripe. The game is not available as free download in all the regions. Users who have rooted there Galaxy S2 can rejoice though as they can easily download the game with a simple workaround. Even if you have not rooted your phone, you can still download APK file from the XDA-Developers thread.
If your phone is rooted simply follow these simple instructions to download the APK from Samsung Apps:
- Download Market Enabler from the Android Market.
- Now, use Market Enabler to Change the Market region to either UK, Germany or Italy. The thread at XDA-Developers suggested using O2 DE [26207] as the new region.
- Open Samsung Apps and you will be asked to accept the T&C.
- Upon accepting the T&C, you should see the game in the store, you can now download it to your Galaxy S2.
- When you first launch the game, it will ask you to download around 590MB of game data (actually it download 358MB). WiFi connection is recommended. Download the data and enjoy the game.
If you are not from EU but can see the game in Samsung Apps without using any hacks do share with us.
