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!… Expand

    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 You have to be a joker to buy this for such an outdated console.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.

    This is a perfect example of why the Need For Speed series is dying. The fans give great advice for what EA should create in the series, but they do something fatal: they NEVER listen. Simple as that.

    The reason why NFS fans love the older games is because the older ones felt so simple and humble, yet they had a great amount of car control and balanced challenge with a fun amount of customization and even able to simply "fool around" in open world cities. They could also play with friends without having to do it all online.

    Everything is online nowadays, say goodbye to playing fun games with your buddies right next to you.    … Expand

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

    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.

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