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.

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.
