Need for Speed: The Run isn't a "heavy story based game"

@XG247: In Need for Speed: The Run you play as Jack, a man in deep trouble with the mob (good one, Jack) and has one way out - a coast-to-coast race with the first place prize of $25M. That'd buy off any gangster with enough change for a lot of fast cars and petrol.

Of course the story isn't a story based game just as much as a chocolate chip isn't a chocolate chip based cookie. I am not a native speaker of English but that grammar is just painful to read. At least the original title makes more sense.

The story is actually the only reason i consider buying the game at all. The races are a lot like Hot Pursuit and that alone just isn't enough, especially since i found them to be mediocre at best. Depending on how well the story works this could still be a good game.

Some players may of been hoping for a bit of decent story to go with somewhat an 'interesting' idea for a Need for Speed game.

Thrungus4979d ago

I saw 'The Run' as a return to the great stories of Need for Speed's past. I guess you and I were both wrong :( .

KUV19774978d ago

Well they fixed the headline at least. Now my comment up there looks rather silly.. anyway I will most probably buy the game but as it looks right now not straight on release day but a couple weeks after when the price has fallen a bit.

SnakeCQC4979d ago

i want that and a hot pursuit 2 (by criterion)

morkendo4979d ago

I want HOTPURSUIT 3 by blackbox studio not criterions burnout pursuit
............................. .............................
be nice if blackbox studio made underground 3 like UNDERGROUND with reply and cops.

LettingGo4979d ago

Played the demo. Terrible. Moving on.

ironfist924978d ago

Pretty much this. I had high hopes for the game, but the terrible handling of the cars turned me off. I'm just gonna buy Hot Pursuit again until the make Underground 3, or Critereon makes Hot Pursuit 2 (or hopefully another Burnout)

Most wanted 2012 imo was awful, on PS3 the graphics are dreadful, and the crash cam was very annoying. Rival is the worst imo, hated that game. My favourite is Hot Pursuit, great game. Also Shift 1&2 are really good.

OnlyThoseOnTheFence2146d ago

High Stakes will always be my favorite. Great cars, great music, and you could see through the windows which was pretty mind-blowing at the time. Best of all it was ricer-free.

steven83r2146d ago

Lame. The list doesn't even include any of the originals. NFS 1 and NFS hot Pursuit 1998. Must be a youngster who created the list.

CYALTR2145d ago

He clearly stated that being this was an Xbox centered site he was going to limit his list to games that released on some form of Xbox. He also stated he had been playing them since OG PLaystation, so pretty sure he's not a "youngster"

From my personal experience NFS I personally don't like.......
The Worst : Underground 2 , Carbon, Prostreets, Undercover, Porche unleashed, Nitro, NFS World, 2012 Mostwanted, Rivals, 2015 Reboot last but not least Paycrap.
Best NFS I personally like :
All ps1 NFS : HighStakes (the best) including NFS 3 Hotpursuit , ps2 Hotpursuit 2 (Excellent game ) ..Underground ( Best so far)
2005 Mostwanted ( Excellent game) Shift 1/2 (Spectacular) remind me of GT , 2010 Hotpursuit Great game but race Waaaaaaay to long in my personal opinion . Last but not least The Run . these are my favorite NFS titles .
After The Run in my personal opinion NFS went down hill fast with Open world mapping crap, always online, multiplayer crap, alldrive, drifting in every freaking corners, no gripping anymore,autolog. None of this crapfest is NFS original formula. until Ea contract Ghost Games to return the original formula back in NFS it will always be Shitty game.

Plenty of them that does VO for video games and animated films like batman movies.

GigawattConduit3378d ago

Huh, didn't know Steve Carrell did video games. That feels just so weird. Already knew Magneto was in Fable 3, but it took me a while to place him.
