Platform: Xbox 360
Manufacturer's Description
It’s called The Run. An illicit, high-stakes race across the country. The only way to get your life back is to be the first from San Francisco to New York. No speed limits. No rules. No allies. All you have are your driving skills and sheer determination as you battle hundreds of the world’s most notorious drivers on the country’s most dangerous roads. In Need for Speed The Run, you’ll weave through dense urban centers, rocket down icy mountain passes and navigate narrow canyons at breakneck speeds, all the while evading a relentless police force prepared – and willing – to use lethal force to take you down.
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. There are no rules and no allies in the cities, deserts, mountains and canyons than stand between you and the finish line.
- You are Jack’s Competitive Edge — Jack is in a race for his life, but he’s got something the competition doesn’t: You. Keep Jack one step ahead of the dangers from his dark past, both inside and outside the car. It’s up to you to get Jack to New York in one piece and ahead of the competition.
- Beat Your Friends — Connect to Autolog. Compare your times against those that matter most. Compete to be the best. Autolog now tracks your entire career – making every second of every race count in the battle to be the fastest to New York.
- Racing Powered by Frostbite 2 — The powerful new Frostbite 2 engine, created by the award-winning DICE studio, advances technical achievements to deliver a gameplay experience with an unprecedented level of visual detail, environmental immersion, and emotional impact.
- Compete in High Octane Multi-Player Racing — The most accessible online racing experience ever offered. With matchmaking technology, join races already in progress instead of waiting in lobbies. Create a party with friends, pick a playlist of your favorite challenges and compete for supremacy across every stage of The Run. By mastering all of the playlists you can level up and earn access to exclusive vehicles, upgrades and abilities.

Fun:
I have been really disappointed with this game compared to last years NFS. The story is rubbish, the car control feels awful, you move the joystick and nothing happens. There is no way of increasing the sensitivity either. Each run is short but the very worst thing is how long each stage takes to load. You cannot build up any rhythm as you are constantly stopping and waiting for it to load. You don't get to use many of the cars as you have to stop at a garage on the stages. Not easy when you are concentrating on what is happening, because if you leave the road other than where they want you to, the game stops and sends you back to the beginning of the section. I have owned lots of driving games over the years, and this is definitely the worst.

I love most of the NFS games and this one is good too but its a bit short, i completed it in a couple of hours so if its just the run that you want to do and not the online features, id rent it instead of buying.

Fun:
This was shockingly boring. I was enticed by the concept of a drive across America, yet this is just a framing device for the standard series of time trials, "overtake X number of cars", and 1 on 1 stages.
The handling is non-existent and ends up being glorified steering. There is no satisfaction in overtaking people and the choice of cars is thin to none. The game mechanic that you have to build up XP to gain access to more features is ok, but is poorly implemented and lacks any real punch behind it.
It's only saving grace is it is quite pretty. The graphics do hold up well, but I can't summon up any enthusiasm for the game as a whole, because it plays like it was rushed out.
A waste of time and money. Don't bother.

Great story line but very less creative freedom.
The storyline of the game is very good. The concept of a run across the continent is awesome. It gives you all those different roads and landscapes to run your car. Read more
