And yet it didn't have to be this way. Where do I to start THE GOOD The realism in The Run can diffidently be felt in the way the cars handle. Some cars feel heavily and lumbering while others feels light and nimble.

My husband bought this game to play with my son. They are absolutely obsessed with this, and others like it.

After playing this game and then transitioning to Forza 4... Handling is quite different. However it is a nice stocking stuffer and a brief, fun game to be played!

Liked the game a lot.. Very good

It's called "The Run," part cross country road race, part summer blockbuster. The latest instalment of the Need for Speed franchise will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish in a 200MPH road trip across the United States.

has an awful lot going for it. The game offers a genuinely fresh take on the racing genre. Its high-octane Gumball Rally race across America takes in almost 3,000 miles of varied terrain, 200 other drivers and the Mafia.

The Run incorporates many different staples that will be familiar from previous Need for Speed games, but never manages to better any of them. What's more, it takes out features that so many could get simple, basic enjoyment from, such as the free roam.

Motivating the gamer is a tough task. Any game has to be compelling or the player will simply give up and look elsewhere. When I first heard about The Run , I was immediately excited. Black Box seem to have picked up on a racing twist that, for some reason, I haven't seen replicated elsewhere.

Every time I go into a shop it seems to be there is always a new Need for Speed (NFS) game released, being quite a loyal fan since the days of Need for Speed Underground on Ps2 I've been hooked on the concept of racing expensive cars through open streets and customisation of your vehicles to create...

Good Story; Lots of Cars

Very little of what old NFS gmaes offer

I've been enjoying NFS games since the first one (Pentium 100 times). Sure there were quite some bad games in the series, but The Run is not among them. First of all, it looks great - thanks to Frostbite engine which powers Battlefield 3 and Medal of Honor: Warfighter, for example.
