Need For Speed The Run is a dynamite-fueled escapade from the more traditional and conservative racing game. With no expense spared on chaos, explosions, and... quick time events? The Run is one of my favourite games in the series, however, it is certainly not without its faults. In this video I go over The story mode, challenge Series, as well as why The Run never took off commercially and the unfortunate circumstances around the game's main direction. If you would like to see more Need For Speed reviews from me please consider subscribing as I have much more coming in the upcoming weeks and months!

Even if they said that this game is too hard they were closer to truth than this guy with his "The run is masterpiece" lol. This was the only NFS i bought at release and I will never do it again. Driving was meh, story was meh, a lot is going on but nothing matters etc. And I could even drive around like in any other nfs.

I had a roommate who never played video games and was the college topper. One night he saw me playing this and wanted to try out. I gave him the game from the beginning running on my laptop. He Pulled an All Nighter playing the game and completing it by next morning. I was awake till chapter 2-3 but then i gave up. Dude was soo immersed he completed it with no prior experience of playing Video games. Can you believe that. That's why The Run was truly amazing.

Basically. The Crew but a bunch of the map cut out and blocked off for optimization and race flow (could mean the server could group players to specific routes and lower the server load). Multi-route race with cops and enemy NPCs. Multiplayer racing speedrun. Extremely dynamic time and weather. Takes more than 30 minutes to complete. Winners could possibly respawn to defend or take down the remaining players.

One way that I think Black Box could’ve *potentially* improved The Run is by letting the player choose between multiple routes throughout the game, with all routes converging on the various big cities (for obvious story purposes). For example, let’s say you just beat the first major race in the game, and have managed to escape San Francisco…when you play through the next stage, you will be given the chance to pick which route you take via off-ramps on the interstate highways. Each route allows you to experience a variety of unique destinations and challenges as you progress through the game; From tense seaside cliff driving in the Pacific Northwest against handling-focused Tuners (obviously going from Washington to Wyoming), to blasting through ancient Pueblo and Navajo ruins while fending off off-road-capable Muscle Cars in the American Southwest (going from Arizona to Texas), to weaving your way through the industrialized marshlands of the Deep South (Louisiana to Northern Florida), there’s tons of potential for interesting challenges and set-pieces. All of which can be experienced by the player at their own leisure. Add in the huge roster of cars available in the base game, and a reworked progression system where you can unlock cars by completing various sections of the different routes, and well…you have a recipe for what could be one of the best NFS games Black Box ever created.
@guerillla6
@guerillla6 Жыл бұрын
Very valid point. The movie Redline also had something like this. Different routes with convergences at certain cities. But then again it’s sort of already implied, because think of it, how would some of the rivals like Caesar, mila and Marcus been reoccurring with jack when we never saw them pass us, unless they took a different route? Plus at stage 4 when jack is entering the million dollar highway, Sam tells jack to head into the mountains so the cops won’t keep up. That indicates that jack took a shorter albeit more dangerous route to avoid arrest. If EA had given black box more time to finish the game, but sadly we’ll never know

Truly wish there was a sequel or more games like this, even a revival of OutRun would be cool. A simple story but very fun racing, only thing I'd wished was different were some of the Time Attack zones essentially being the same sections but flipped. Awesome game overall

Why dont they make something like this again. It was fresh for NFS experience back in 2011. Had a few flaws but it was 2011. I love the story, the extremes, how there's no time to chill. Its literally a RUN. And it feels like that. It delivered exactly what the game devs wanted. I see that as a huge win. Apart form MW games this is my other fav NFS game.

4:53 I would also say, up to this point, I really liked what NFS the run had set up. A good structure and some really nice plot hooks. the issue comes when you realize, while the gameplay is solid, there's almost no pay off to any of it. I was at least hoping for why Jack was in debt (maybe one of the other racer's set him up or something like that), but nope all character development and plot progression just stopped right here and progressed very little till the end credits. I still enjoyed playing the run, and think this is a concept that's worth coming back too, but I will admit in the series of legends that is need for speed, it's just a bit too much of an also ran.

I have a special place for this game in my heart. There was a event at an electrical store which promoted the game and I was 12 years old and annihilated the competion in a time trail without any practice prior. It was the first time playing this game for me. Although I was into older NfS title at that time like Underground 2. I didnt win anything though becuase I couldn't stand the pressure of the finale and didn't understand the rewind mechanic (nobody bothered to explain it to me) and I was playing against 3 other people who knew that game by heart and my dad (who also happend to qualifiy for the finaly). Overall a great experience though. Needless to say I played through the game afterwards.

Spot on review, man! Nice bit of slapstick humour which matched the already bizarre moments this game throws at you 😂 I remember not being too fond of this game when we first got gameplay footage of it and assuming it would be a pile of crap just because my younger self was like "no free roam? no upgrades? no thanks" and then one of my closest friend who also happened to be my next door neighbor got it. We "borrowed" a lot of eachother's games at the time and I ended up having an amazing time with this one. It was sad when it all ended so soon but it was well worth going through it all again with the difficulty nearly maxed out with the exception of the mode where you only had one chance to win or you'd start from the beginning of the game again... At least that's how I remember it anyway, I could be wrong.

Another thing to keep in mind about the cars is, using a gas station to switch puts you about 10 seconds behind where you were before. The game doesn't pause the race going into it, and it doesn't pause the race coming out of it, only while you're picking a car when you've come to a complete stop. Theres one race where theres a gas station right at the end. If you use it, you lose. Also if you ever get a cop takedown camera, you also lose, because your car slows to a crawl while your opponents shoot ahead.

Nice to see that there are more The Run enjoyers out there C:: Pro Street is my number one, but The Run is right behind it. What do they have in common? They both have unique playstyles and events. Top Speed and Speed Challenges in Pro Street are supreme and it's a shame that they were never used in any other entry. I love how you can turn "undrivable" cars, like a Dodge Charger R/T, into a machine that can survive Nevada Highway and defeat a Pagani Zonda. The Run might be a short experience, and sadly have a very small pool car from the get go, but the action, sense of danger, difficulty (Very Hard is really punishing), and intensity of the races stand over every other NFS game. If only Blackbox was given another year or two to develop something more robust, these titles would have been pretty much flawless racing games.

This was the first video game I ever bought with my own money, bought it around the same time it came out. I loved this game, I remember playing the rockies stage so many times just cause of how much I enjoyed the snow levels.

It's worth noting there are a number of patches you can get for the PC version to unlock every vehicle (including exclusive ones and Limited Edition ones) for singleplayer use. Given the multiplayer is now totally dead, it adds a whole lot of fun playing through the campaign with all manner of cars. The bug in the PC version that lets you use any car from any tier in the Run just makes it better.

One of my favorite aspects of The Run is the Soundtrack. It's so tense! It captures perfectly the emotion of driving ridiculously fast cars with the cops right on your ass. It's amazing, and the theme song of the menu give me chills when it starts. Brian Tyler nailed it.

I do agree on the fact that the game had a very interesting gameplay and story potential, I remember my first playthrough and it was an I had a great time with it, but I recently replay this game campaign and notice that at least on pc, there’s a lot of “cut content” bc there are cinematics that doesn’t exist. My main problem with this game in particular was the repetition, sometimes you ended playing the same tracks but backwards, I don’t know how this is posible at a linear game but it’s there

The main reason I kept going back to this game every day for like 4 years was the online multiplayer. I was racing with some of the best and fastest players on the PS3 online. There's a mountain stage that's a really long winter race starting on a divided highway that you can kinda cheat right off the start that is extremely high risk because it cuts the first half of the race in half but if you wreck at any point before you get back onto the main route you restart at the very beginning which can set you in last place up to a full minute behind the next closest racer

Little background for the game, when the Run was released, Black Box was already after multiple layoffs and in the middle of EA disassembling them, in the previous year they released Need For Speed World which had an active team working on it in the long run, Skate 3, then next year helped with Battlefield 3 and made The Run and then getting completely obliterated in the upcoming years. The fact that the last 2 games they put out (Skate 3 and The Run) were pretty good while having a heavily cut down team is nothing short of a miracle.

When I got this game , I was dissapointed it was not open world.. I didn't liked run at first and nearly wanted to trade the cd. But it became my favorite NFS later because of how different the game was. IT didn't even had open world , something I love most and have been spoiled by criterion and black box. But it has lots of unexpected stuff that I clearly loved .

Run was quite good at creating a bit of tension, which the then recent open world NFS games lacked. I enjoyed it, and came back more than once in the recent years to play the game. The game reminded me of old-school target based racing games.
