Prepare yourself for the next generation of video games, the next edition of the wildly popular Need For Speed series, named The Run. Running is literally what you’ll be doing too, across the country from the West Coast all the way to Broadway. There’s plenty of good reasons why this is one of the most leading video games ever produced. This is one of the few places where you can drive daringly without killing someone, or yourself. Still, its believeable enough to make you look behind you to check for the police and other guys who want you dead.

Need For Speed: The Run- Gameplay!

Electronic Arts (Origin) hasn’t held back with exceptional graphics in Need For Speed: The Run, and like its predecessor Hot Pursuit, there’s plenty of gameplay. Maybe because they’ve made the graphics so sharp, you’ll also notice occasional gltches in the game, especially if you go out of boundaries or during cut scenes. Sterring your car also can be troublesome, and a sleek vehicle can feel more like a tractor trailer in handling on some of the open road.

Some of the buzz surrounding Need For Speed: The Run is that the game is relatively limited in achievement milestones and can be completed in a short period of time by serious gamers. While this may be the case for some, like other video games, Need For Speed: The Run isn’t necessarily made for finishing, but instead, for driving. Like the previous versions of Need For Speed, The Run offers you a wide variety of hot cars to pick from. Some of these vehicles handle true-to-life and others, well, handle more like a grocery store shopping cart.

The track is perhaps the largest selling point for Need For Speed: The Run and takes you directly from San Francisco all the way to New York. The course is divided into ten different sections, each with different events for earning trophies and moving to the next level. A couple of the campaigns are simply a race between your automobile and other drivers, which is really what racing is all about, right? To add some fun at the beginning and the end of this game, EA adds mobsters following you in hot pursuit in cars and helicopters. If this doesn’t get your adrenaline pumping, I don’t know what will.

Our Take On The Video Game Need For Speed, The Run!

Need For Speed: The Run affords you with several opportunities for hitting a "reset" button. This means if you crash, fall off a cliff, or die in any way, you can "reset" yourself to a certain point. Hitting a re-do does cause the game to lag for about 15 seconds but it also gives you another chance to score big. If you’d rather plod on through, you can also choose to restart the entire event and save reset points for experience at the finish.

Need For Speed: The Run is intense, fast and a blast to play. If you’re into a pure racing game without fluffy tangent games, this is perfect game for you. If you’re looking for a game that is pure entertainment, The Run won’t disappoint.
