    Feels like playing a THQ game

    Graphics, not so Need for Speed. Knowing that it's on Frostbite 2. I felt like rather playing a THQ game during its PS3 times. Driving, steering, not so good. Not so NFS. Feels like rather driving in GTA V. Music, ... Read Full Review

    Cannonball run... without the cannonballs... more like blanks perhaps?

    Need For Speed has infamously been a series with some games that are hits, while many others are misses. This is definitely a miss sadly.The "Cannonball Run" concept in The Run, albeit neat, falls pretty flat here for a ... Read Full Review

    A wonderful trip in one piece

    Feel free to disagree, but my experience in this game was just amazing. A wonderful trip through whole US nature assortment makes this NFS installment as unique as I'd never imagine. Of course there are several cons whic... Read Full Review

    The Run is an interesting concept, bogged down by some limited options and ideas.

    Positive+ Cross country race across America is an interesting idea+ Frostbite 2 engine makes the ever-changing landscapes look wonderful+ Racing is fast and challenging Negative- Cutscenes occasionally suffer from cut ... Read Full Review

    "Uninspired," explains this game perfectly

    "The Run," is a game full of all kinds of emotions. There are moments of pure joy, extreme anger, and huge adrenaline rushes. There are also moments of "What the hell is going on here?" Graphically, The Run is an outstan... Read Full Review

    Although decent enough, the constant break in action is a hindrance

    The Run's main game is based upon an illegal street race starting from San Francisco and ending up in New York. Your character is Jack Rourke, who is in debt to a mob, so on the advice of his friend Sam, signs up to The ... Read Full Review

    This game is a disaster. End of story.

    I'm usually quite a lenient reviewer. You can check some other of my reviews to see that. But when reviewing a game like need for speed the run on the wii, I am forced to make an exception. This is one of the worst game... Read Full Review
