Need for Speed: The Run Preview (Strategy Informer)

From Strategyinformer.com: "As a brand, it's fair to say Need for Speed has become disillusioned. While Hot Pursuit unleashed an adrenaline-fuelled police chase on the world, Shift 2 followed up by penalising players with simulation like rules. It seems EA are content with developing all kinds of racers and throwing them together under the Need for Speed banner. Although this ensures we'll receive annual iterations at the very least, it also means the notion of 'quality over quantity' isn't always adhered to. With the announcement of The Run, and the revelation that players will step outside the car for the first time, EA intend to mix proceedings up even further.".
