Launching on November 15, Need for Speed The Run lures players into an underground world of illicit, high-stakes racing. The heat is on – and it isn’t just the fuzz who are after you. Entering the race is just the beginning as you blow across borders, weave through dense urban traffic, rocket down icy mountain passes and navigate narrow canyons at breakneck speeds.

It’s not Forza but it doesn’t set out to be; instead, it aims at being the very best arcade racing game available and it succeeds most assuredly at that goal. A balls-to-the-wall thrill-ride, beginning to end, and definitely worth a thrash - if you can handle it.

Need for Speed: The Run is another addition to the long standing NFS franchise; I must admit that I was pretty excited for this release with Black Box’s history with some good NFS titles. However, I was also very sceptical as Black Box have released some of the not-so-good games of the series. The Run is a real middle runner of the series, the handling is definitely somewhere around the middle of the pack, the graphics are up near the front and the sound sits about the same as the rest of the releases. Unfortunately, The Run’s biggest let down is definitely the story; it takes itself far too seriously and is a slightly ridiculous premise to begin with. There is also not a huge amount of replay value or things to keep you coming back. Overall, a true middle runner for the Need for Speed series, some aspects hold up, others not so much.

The opening immediately drives home the point that this is not your typical racing game. You play as Jack Rourke, someone who went left instead of right, or, as the opening scene shows, found himself mixed up with the wrong people. Fortunately, Jack has a friend who knows a way for him to make a load of cash. Just like any action movie involving a racer with something to run from, Jack takes the "job," getting thrown headfirst into one of the most exciting racing experiences I have had in a long time.
