Need for Speed: The Run
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.

Forget the story and silly “get out of the car” nonsense. If you focus on the pure details of the cars and racing itself, Need for Speed: The Run stands head and shoulders above past installments as well as other racing simulations. For all intent and purposes, this is one hell of a game. If there’s one game on this year’s checklist for Santa, The Run is not be a bad way to go.

So, while the ancestry of Need For Speed: The Run will be readily apparent to veterans of the series, The Run breaks new ground in a number of interesting ways. The adoption and adaptation of the Frostbite 2 engine allows for far more spectacular scenery and action, while the supporting campaign storyline provides an interesting way to serve up the standard race types in a new and compelling way. The multiplayer is strong and user friendly, providing just enough subtle assists to keep even rookie players involved. At the end of the day, it is an impressive achievement to bring such a fun and fresh look to such a mature product.

I enjoyed the refreshing diversity of the 40+ track sections you get to experience as you cross our great country. If you're an overseas gamer this is a great way to experience 3000 miles of American scenery, and the racing is fun despite some problematic game mechanics, namely resets and intolerable load times, but you should definitely take this game for a spin, even if it’s just for a rental. But watch out for cops and the mob - those guys play hardball.
