    Solid yet short-lived racer that's fun at parties. Fans of the genre should pick this one up.

    The races are all linked by a surprisingly solid narrative. [Christmas 2011, p.76]

    Great fun, but too short and challenge mode is too generic to make up for it.

    Need for Speed: The Run is a classic arcade racer, with some nice graphics and a decent gameplay. The single player campaign can be beaten in only a couple of hours and there's no online multiplayer, so the whole experience could be very short and insubstantial.

    It's a lousy driving game, frustrating and with too many QTE, utterly spoiling the overall experience.

    Need For Speed: The Run on Wii is a weak, tedious, disorganized and frustrating experience. You must be a die-hard fan to play it.

    This console does not meet minimum requirements to run the game even on 720p on lowest settings at 30 FPS. You have to be a joker to buy thisThis console does not meet minimum requirements to run the game even on 720p on lowest settings at 30 FPS. You have to be a joker to buy this for such an outdated console. You could have the least demanding game ever but running in Frosbite 2 the Wii would blow up. Avoid the Wii version if possible.… Full Review »

The cars dont turn when you want them to! Drifting is basically controlled by the computer itself! You cant change the controls! NFS: most wanted was the last NFS that was any good!!!!! Whoever the person was that was in charge of creating this game needs to go and jump off a bridge with this game shoved up their ASS!!! because this game is S*&T!!! For anyone who is thinking about going to get this game DONT!!! It is a wast of money! The cars are all the same when it comes to driving skills! They dont reach max speed and when you are in a turn the cars in front of you have no problem with sliding into the walls but yet you crash almost everytime!!! Recreate Most wanted and UPDATE the graphics but leave the game play part the same! i can almost garantee that people will love it!… Full Review »
