Splitkick - NFS: The Run Review

Splitkick: Need for Speed was one of those franchises that I thought EA had nailed down. Fast cars, cop chases, competitive racing – the three tenets of NFS. I thought they knew that! Somehow, some way, Black Box, the developers of this release, have completely forgotten tenet number three, and pumped out this bland time trial joke.

the gameplay is what totally ruins this

It shouldve been an PSN or XBL game for $30...

Releasing a game like this tells me EA obviously dont care about quality all they want is money.

RedDeadLB4938d ago

I actually didn't find anything wrong with the game, it was quite fun for me. Until we get another Burnout this is basically as good as it gets for arcade racers.

lzim4938d ago

That is essentially the point.

While inarguably Criterion can do a better job than Black Box, and Criterion's NFS was awesome.. it does not service to a split fanbase, and Burnout purists for there to be no Burnout.

We must have Burnout, everything else is less.

Criterion's hiatus needs to end. They must be chained to their desks and made to use Frostbite before the likes of Namco continue what Disney and Activision started in ruining the genre.

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.

OnlyThoseOnTheFence2139d 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.

steven83r2139d 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.

CYALTR2138d 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.

GigawattConduit3370d 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.
