    For me, one of the best NFS games! I like the graphics, level design an steering. The multiplayer is really fun. I played for more than 60h and now, 3 years later, i play it again.

But it's still arcade, so you will have no problems with driving. In my opinion, The Run is the best NFS since the time of Most Wanted. Autolog is still there and multiplayer as good as it was in HP. So, the main problem of The Run is that it's too short and sometimes a bit boring. 8/10.… Expand

    This is the absolute best racing game I have ever played. The controls are a perfect mix between arcade and simulation where they feel like the real cars but can still be driven impatiently.

The controls are a perfect mix between arcade and simulation where they feel like the real cars but can still be driven impatiently. You can really feel the difference in handling, weight, torque, etc. between the cars, and especially between the old and new cars. The 60s-era Shelby Cobra is small and nimble (but has trouble gripping in tight turns) where a modern Mustang is powerful but very heavy and slow to turn. There are two things that ruin the game. The first is the UI, which is horrendous. It wasn't just not designed for the PC, it wasn't designed for Humans to use. Getting stuck with a car not meant for a track on the hardest difficulty means game-over because you can't switch it out! This is more than a bit frustrating. There's no way to skip cutscenes and there's no reason for that besides to frustrate me after having lost or restarted a game. Long load times for restarting a race are also not needed, just stick my car back at the beginning! The second problem is, obviously, EA DRM. Better-tuned graphics may have been nice but the game is still pretty enough. I'd say that if you're at all interested in cars and racing, you must play this game! The road racing gameplay is the core of the game here and will take a patient player (and maybe someone will real race car driving knowledge) to get right on the harder modes. I'm still giving the game a 10 because the gameplay really is that good.… Expand

    Great game. Very spectacular and exhilarating. Great music (Black Keys, Canned Heat ;) . Maybe short but you can replay the whole in a more difficult setting. I really like it. QTE and story basically boring (and cannot skip) but the racing is really nice.

Boy, was I wrong to avaoid it.

    It's closer to the old NFS games like Hot Pursuit and NFS II SE than any of the other modern NFS games, The Run suffers from little more than terrible characters and plot, the combination of which are not enough to ruin an otherwise excellent game. The big stable of cars are a challenging and rewarding to handle - the driving model in The Run was a breath of fresh air compared to the sprint-car drifting style of most other modern NFSs. Braking in time for a tight corner is very satisfying, and each car feels believable and unique. I miss the lovely engine start sounds from Most Wanted 2, but Mustangs roar, Datsuns howl, and McLarens shriek with ferocious realism.

    One can't ignore the supporting star in this game: the tracks. Recreated in loving detail is an excellent approximation of a cross-USA race. Wooded state parks, narrow city streets, sprawling avenues, hilly and winding county trunks, and astonishing mountain ranges are all a blast to drive and the sheer attention given to the billion things you drive by brings you into the illusion of a continuous world larger than the new Most Wanted or Hot Pursuit could simulate.

    One of the biggest complaints I've read about the game is the length - I finished my first Run in 2:12, but that completely ignores the entire campaign of very entertaining challenge events, which are also played for time and are just as much fun while more functionally showcasing the game's many cars. Besides that, the Run is meant to be played more than once for competitive multiplayer high score - if it were very long, one couldn't do it more than a few times.

    Anyway, more story would showcase the game's weak spot - the plot. Yea, it sucks. It's kind of like the story for the first Most Wanted, but in that game it felt like EA was in on the big ridiculous joke and in the Run it seems like Black Box might take it seriously, and it just makes you cringe. That said, it's a racing game and the plot doesn't matter that much to me.

    As one more weak spot, the game has quick-time action-packed press-the-buttons-as-prompted instant-fun sequences. You've done it, we've all played Dance Dance Revolution. Some of them were pretty fun, some of them weren't. You beat up a lot of cops. Sometimes it doesn't show you the button to press, and you have to figure it out by trial and error. It never stopped me from continuing the game, but that can get annoying.

    At the end, I loved it. While I enjoyed the game's recent NFS contemporaries, I like this more. Lots of fun, great driving model. Will temporarily satisfy desperation for Need For Speed 2015 reboot.    … Expand

    This game play has definitely improved over the earlier versions of the games of this series. Run gives an awesome visual experience with a decent storyline. It could have been better if there was provision for customisation of the motos. However from the trailer of the game one will expect and demand a more thrilling experience..but it definitely is not a game to get 5.5

A huge variety of cars to choose, from vintage muscles to modern supercars. This game gives you that adrenaline feeling that few games on todays market offer.

    Two hours is wildly exaggerated, I have played it and its more like 5-6 hours on normal. The two hours comes from the in game clock which doesn't include restarting levels when you fail and cut scenes. Remember you never race on the same track/road twice. There's around 40+ road levels. I liked the first need for speed on the 3dO and this one.

It's not this tired tread of the game taking place in a city, and what ends up happening, is that you end up running down the same portions of streets a hojillion times over but they're called new courses, when they're really not.

    Also, the dynamic camera is redic awesome (pulls out on boosts, pulls in on brakes, or turns where you lose a lot of speed). It really is a million times better then the static camera's you see in every other racing game. Just saying that since no one seems to talk about that either. Not even the game critics.    … Expand

    I found it to be kind of an all american driving game, classic race across the country and take in all the great views kind of thing, real nice. Sure there are things i can nitt pick about, like the skin textures on the characters being over done, but its a console port and really im in it for the driving not to ogle character models! Also the scenery unfortunately kind of flies by too fast to really take it in, but its still quite clear that its great looking.

    The quick time events i could totally have done without, but i will give it +1 point (not only to offset the morons that give games 0's) JUST for using a Ministry song in a QTE where you get to kick a cop in the face.. pure class.

    I guess it comes down to what you are looking for in a driving game, i dont care for playing online because guess where you find the vast majority of cheaters.. also do not give a rats ass about linking to (or having) a face book account, playing dress-up, or what professional reviewers think of ANYTHING. I wanted an arcade type driving game with solid controls and it delivers. Not going to give it a 10 because there have been no games in the past year that deserve a 10.. NONE! But 8 for overall pleasure +1 for appropriate use of a Ministry song works, if anything i feel it should have cost a bit less but thats just mainstream video games in general.    … Expand

I loved the fact that as you progress through the field you see a wide variety of cars - "ooh, thats a nice Supra", "is that really a MK1 Golf?".....Graphics and sound are great, runs perfectly when it works, but there are issues. Firstly, I couldn't get my Xbox 360 controller to work. I had to use a usb controller and Joytokey combination and although this worked, it wasn't flawless as in the QTE scenes it still displays Xbox controller buttons, which don't correspond to keyboard controls. However, I found that just mashing every button on my controller worked anyway!

    Secondly, it feels like no effort was taken to improve the 'port'. Visuals are quite poor in some ingame movies and sequences. However, I feel that a lot of the criticism is from people expecting too much from this game. Some people complaining that it isn't realistic enough..... Hello!... This is a Need For Speed game. If you want realism, buy Shift or GTR! Also, the story may be short, but the challenges and multiplayer make it last indefinitely.

    Visually stunning game, with an interesting concept of a story, but repetitive game-play levels. But I guess it was due to the story.

    Gra jest naprawdę okej, straszliwie przeszkadza ograniczone fpsy na liczbie 30, gra jest zdecydowanie za krótka, bardzo podobał mi się koncept liniowej = fabuły

    Best racing game with intense action sequences with story makes it a short and sweet game .

    The best story mode, no cringe style implementation, just a serious and simple story mode.

    Es un juego bastante diferente a lo que nos tenía acostumbrado la saga y su historia aunque es muy poco profunda nos mantiene lleno de momentos de acción

    Innovation at all cost doomed NFS The Run – for every good idea comes a terrible one, and even the best ones are buried by technical issues. [Christmas 2011]

    Tiresome racer that only takes two hours to complete, yet somehow feels longer. That's both impressive and depressing.

    Shows how you can bury even the most original idea with lack of either bravery or fantasy. [January 2012, p.69]
