NFS : The Run

The 18th title in the Need For Speed Series proves that NFS can never let us down . Tiltled as NFS- Run this time EA and BlackBox have jonied hands again after Undercover and has given us an awesome package. 


This time they have Spiced up the game a little bit by giving it a hollywood style gameplay. The entire game is about a race across the country starting from San Franciso and ending in New York battling with 200 racers for the 1st place and winning prize of 
$25,000,000 . 


The Player takes the Role of Jackson 'Jack' Rourke who in order to escape from the mob enters into the "RUN" under the prompting of Sam Harper. And first time ever the players can move without a car but only with QTE (Quick time Events). Although this is not challenging , it does make the game more dramatic. Rewinds can help u to get back to ur last saved checkpoint in the race.Quite useful but can be a little irritating bcoz , they can get triggered even when
u stray of the track a little and is time consuming which can break the pace of the game :-(




Throughout the RUN u will get to battle with Rivals Marcus Blackwell, Cesar Deleon, Calvin Garret Mila Belova . These guys are the ones who are at the Top ten. The interesting parts in the game are the ones wher u have to escape from the mob or police or natural disasters . Its really cool and dramatic like hell. Especially The part wher u have to travel thru alps when its being bombarderd resulting in landslides and the last race against Marcus .I wont spoil the suprise but it will give u a pointer , Watch ur surroundings :-)


The game has a total of Ten stages which takes u thru Las Vegas, Detroit ,Denver and thru plains ,grasslands , alps . The surroundings /environments are really stunning , thanks to Frostbite engine 2.0 of BF3 fame . First time they had used it in a racing game. The game visuals were a little dull looking , which could have been worked on a little more . Apart from that the game is really stunnnig and challenging .Racing fans will love it for sure


Rating : 8.5/10
