    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

    Horrible game with short storyline, TERRIBLE DLC CARS, terrible engine noises (literally all cars sound like a vacuum cleaner) graphics in some cutscenes look like from 2006, bad soundtrack, handling felt like riding a train. The only good things about the game is the car list, pursuit themes, open world graphics and that's pretty much it.

    Probably the only game in the series that tried to at least slightly move away from the usual "conveyor" nfs concept, here the whole game is actually one big race, you have to drive all over the country and overtake 250 racers, without any additional garages, missions, just drive and drive, gameplay without revelations, but, in general, it turned out well, there are more or less diverseProbably the only game in the series that tried to at least slightly move away from the usual "conveyor" nfs concept, here the whole game is actually one big race, you have to drive all over the country and overtake 250 racers, without any additional garages, missions, just drive and drive, gameplay without revelations, but, in general, it turned out well, there are more or less diverse locations, the game is not very long, it takes 4 hours to pass. There are network functions in which you can evaluate the records of friends and even kind of drive in a co-op, but now this is all disabled, because the game has been withdrawn from sale. The funny thing is that this game would really need a Remake, firstly: rework this entire online system, because it looks unnecessary, or cut it out, and secondly: here even on a modern ssd there are very Long Loads between levels, which unsettles, I want to drive more and more, but, you constantly wait for downloads, also unsettles - cutscenes with the dumbest plot, and, qte-sections in which we run from the police or the mafia from car to car, but there are not so many of them.

    Наверное, единственная, игра в серии, которая попыталсь хоть немного отойти от привычной конвеерной концепции, тут вся игра - это фактически один большой забег, вам надо проехать всю страну и обогнать 250 человек, без всякого дополнительных гаражей, миссий, просто гонишь и гонишь, геймплей без откровений, но, в целом - получилось неплохо, есть более менее разнообразные локации, игра не очень длинная, за часа 4 проходится. Есть сетевые функции, в которых можно оценивать рекорды друзей и даже вроде как-то в кооперативе гонять, но сейчас уже это всё отключено, потому что игра снята с продажи. Забавно то, что этой игре действительно бы пригодился ремейк, во-первых: переработать всю эту онлайновую систему, ато она выглядит ненужной, либо вырезать её, а во-вторых: тут даже на современном ssd очень Долгие Загрузки между уровнями, что выбивает из колеи, хочется ещё и ещё гнать, а, в итоге, постоянно ждёшь загрузок, также выбивают катсцены с наитупейшим сюжетом, и, qte-секции, в которых мы бежим от полиции или мафии от тачки в тачку, но их не так уж и много.    … Expand

    Great concept (really great) and beautiful graphics. However very short game and very much wasted opportunity.

    This has to be the clunkiest racing game I've ever played. The controls are slow and the gameplay feels like you're sliding on the street's surface.

    The story is nonsensical and very dumb, I don't even understand why they bothered writing a story to begin with. Also, the Quick Time Events are such a pain, they ruin the entire campaign.

    The car customization isn't good but it just exists, you can paint your car and select between few body kit parts which I find lazy, I wish I had more control over my car.

    The challenges are decent but could've been better. This game desperately needed more content, because it feels pretty bland.

    I don't recommend this game at all.
    This is probably the worst game I've ever played that I can remember.

    The Run doesn't have the structure or production values to carry off its concept. Even if it did, its successes would be smothered by a procession of awful technical flaws.

    Интересный эксперимент с сюжетным режимом, разнообразные трассы и экшн моменты радуют. Но при этом сам сюжет очень простой, неинтересный и без каких-то интересных поворотов. Хотя могло получиться очень недурно.

    Зачем в игру про гонки добавлять Quick Time Event дебилизм какой-то. Управление и на геймпаде кривое к примеру в игре A это B а X это А, а на клавиатуре вообще газ на стрелку вправо, короче управление делал полный "гений".

    Если сравнивать Run с ранними частями то получается идет полная деградация, но а так неплохая гонка. Конечно у нее много недостатков, но поиграть рекомендую!

Already several parts of the series, this time with the subtitle The Run, went a little differently than the previous parts in terms of story. Surprisingly, everything worked from the beginning and actually works well all the time. Often there are cut-scenes that show us our character in full beauty, but the whole thing has one catch and that is the game length. The game is incredibly short. It's a DLC and we'll get to that, but it's not a DLC and it's a full-fledged sequel, which in my opinion just doesn't pay for the full price tag in those few hours. You have the game ready in about 4 hours. So this is such a longer film in which you have the opportunity to go to the races and it's a pity that there are just so few of them. In the game we can see beautiful locations in beautiful graphics, which, yes, is not much better than in Hot Pursuit, but it is still beautiful. When I played the game on my weak laptop at the time, it ran around 10FPS for me, at a higher speed, perhaps even 3FPS, and I'm not kidding. But after years I returned to the game with a more powerful machine and was able to finally enjoy the smooth 60FPS at full setup and that it was a beauty, which was, as I mentioned, too short. Look no further than the main story in the game. I can only think of multiplayer in which you can spend a few hours. Again, you can't tune cars here, and worst of all, you have to pay extra for the DLC. No, not really this. A game long for a few hours and I can't even enjoy all the cars yet? That seems really exaggerated to me. The soundtrack didn't work either, because the same dramatic music is often played here. Overall a great idea to take this part in a story and that it worked I dare say, but the whole thing is subsequently spoiled by the game length and DLC in the form of the best cars in the game. For me, an above-average game that I do not recommend.… Expand

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