Manufacturer's Description

Matt is a marked man. Matt has just found a way to save his life. All he needs to do is win an illicit, coast-to-coast race from San Francisco to New York.

It’s called The Run. Three-thousand miles of unforgiving asphalt from San Francisco to New York. No speed limits. No rules. No allies. Armed with just his guts and instinct, Matt battles a field of the most notorious drivers ever assembled. Dense city streets, icy mountain passes and narrow canyons push his driving skills to the limit. Relentlessly hunted by the police, as well as the men who want him dead, Matt is racing for his life.

KEY FEATURES:

  • From the Golden Gate to the Empire State — Compete in The Run, an illicit race across the most iconic and treacherous roads from San Francisco to New York. Told through 26 episodes, there are no rules and no allies in the cities, deserts, mountains and canyons that stand between you and the finish line.
  • You are Matt’s Competitive Edge — Matt is in a race for his life, but he’s got something the competition doesn’t: You. Keep Matt one step ahead of the dangers from his dark past, both inside and outside the car. It’s up to you to get Matt to New York in one piece and ahead of the competition.
  • Outstanding Racing Developer Pedigree — Built from the ground up by the critically-acclaimed Firebrand Games, delivering classic Need for Speed action racing to the Wii.

Platform for Display:Nintendo Wii
Fun:   
Purchased this I as have previously owned most of the NFS games in the franchise. I found that with this one, I was marginally more impressed than I was with Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit (Wii). The game is very playable, and harks back to the days of Need For Speed: Undercover (Wii), where the main game follows an almost movie like storyline. In this game though, it does feel rather like the game is controlling you owing to having to follow this plot. On the positives, the gameplay is very good, the comic strip style storyboards which are injected between each of the levels, are very nice touches, (though maybe a bit too long, I found myself constantly skipping through them) and the list of cars is very good. During the main career game, you have to use whichever car is allocated to that task, but as you win more cars and add ons, you can select these during the Challenge stages.
As I said, this is a an improvement on Hot Pursuit, (which was a vast improvement on Nitro,) but I must say that all these games are still missing one vital ingredient- Free Roam. Not sure why!
