Summary

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. Powered by DICE's state-of-the-art Frostbite 2 engine, Need for Speed The Run takes the action racing genre to new heights with stunning visuals and car physics that hug the road even at top speeds all built around a gripping storyline. The cars are hot, the racing is intense and the story will have you at the edge of your seat… all the way from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Empire State building.

Very very good

+ Very story and cinematic focused need for speed, most of all in franchise, which i like
+ good atmosphere
+ good graphics
+very good action, changable eviromets and falling rocks
- driving mechanic: some cars handle ok(bmw, porsche), but some like lamborgini it is hard to have a good control of the car. Overal it is arcady.
- a lot of traffic and police add to unpredictability and i had to rewind quit offten
+ very various missions time attack with checpoints, overtake centran number of competitors, escape mafia, beat rival, quick time events
+ combination of action sequences and driving is good
- long loading screens
- very scripted with insane rubber band, somethimes visible that game doesnt want you to pass some cara yet, because they get impossoble acceleration at times
+ enjoyable

Good enough variations to cars.

Decent graphics. Awkward handling.
Frustrating at times because of cops and rewinds etc.
