“Need for Speed: The Run” does a lot of things right. Beautifully crafted landscapes with one track being completely different from the last and a compliment of solid racing mechanics that are typically expected with the franchise, but a worthwhile storyline is definitely not among them. Something new that was supposed to be introduced to the series was an intense and gripping storyline. Now it has a story, but...
“We really tried to break some new ground.”

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.
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.
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.
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.
10 Hollywood Actors You (Probably) Didn’t Know Voiced Video Game Characters.
Plenty of them that does VO for video games and animated films like batman movies.
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.
i really felt the run was pretty bad, they could have done more.
yeah,
blackbox studio could have re-done HOTPURSUIT or HIGHSTAKES,PORSCHE UNLEASHED.
THE RUN was crappy as PROSTREETS,CARBON,UNDERCOVER,C RITERIONS HOTPURSUIT.
I love this game a 10/10 for me.
seriously? 6/10 there are things this game did that were a complete insult to all of video games, I have never been more insulted as a gamer by the complete lack of effort put into a game as well as the blatant examples of laziness on the developers part. This is either laziness or or rushing the game but I do know, this game SHOULD NOT have been released in its current state.
It is absolute BS that this game was released and its DISGRACEFUL that the uninformed will purchase this game based on name recognition alone!
I didn't like it. I loved Hot Pursuit to hell because of its arcadish nature. This on the other hand was like semi "realistic" blended in with the arcade aspects and I hated that feeling. If i wanted a serious racer I would go play Gran Turismo, leave NFS where it belongs and I will keep buying it, otherwise I'll pass 9 times out of 10.
