Intense white knuckled racing is absolutely addicting. The autolog helps you compete with your friends and makes the game so much more competitive. Multiplayer is splendid and is even more enjoyable with friends as winning gives you much bragging rights. A huge variety of cars to choose, from vintage muscles to modern supercars. This game gives you that adrenaline feeling that few games on todays market offer.

A must have for any racing fan, be it arcade or sim fan. This game is absolutely fun and I have no idea why IGN gave it such a crappy score. The only thing I agree with their review is that this game is slightly short but that may perhaps be that Im enjoying myself so much and finished the game too quickly which leaves me craving for me. This game is a masterpiece. If you don't compare it with other NfS games The Run is a great action-oriented cinematic racing game.

Probaly worst NFS that ive played and actually finished. Only thing going for it are the for the time amazing first time out of Battlefield Probaly worst NFS that ive played and actually finished. Only thing going for it are the for the time amazing first time out of Battlefield games used Frostbite engine graphics which make roads and scenery look amazing, but from there it just goes down hill at break neck speed.

Driving first of all feels just awful, no matter which car you drive they all feel like boats on 4 wheels with abysmal handling. Also pretty much all cars sound like vacuum cleaners. Idea of panUSA race is a great one, but poorly executed.
