After skillfully reviving the famous series Need for Speed Hot Pursuit by EA (Electronic Arts), it is back twelve months later with The Run, which follows suit the previous edition. If the opposition is less with the police in the front this edition, the underground racing is still on the agenda…
Need for Speed: The Run offers the player to embody a certain Jack Rourke, a U.S. citizen, who, to escape a fate of eternal fugitive, agrees to participate in a wild race sweeping the United States from west to east. We also let you discover the ins and outs of the situation by yourself fairly well agreed that the scenario ultimately has very little importance!
The principle is all the more original as he begins the test beyond the 200th position and must exceed the other contenders one by one, between San Francisco and New York. The architecture of the “run” is singular while remaining in the codes of the genre since found shopping at checkpoints, duels, prosecution with law enforcement, ski fantastic in short, everything that has the charm of an NFS properly. Reuse a popular recipe and spices it up with an intense quest than not, this is the credo with EA Black Box Need For Speed: The Run. So what should we retain 4,000 kilometers of roads to swallow greedily in this new album?
Need For Speed: The Run (Xbox 360 Demo Gameplay)
First that the “adventure” is very linear. Your place overall is actually a time marker since it is impossible to go faster than the music. Indeed, before each stage, your mission is to achieve a given rank, and even going very fast, you cannot scrounge a couple of extra places, require scripts. Besides, if something irritates us especially in The Run is the impression of being an actor sometimes spectator of the race, we are subject to change rigid scenario. These scripts can even end up rotting passages which, unfortunately, the final duel.
In itself, this does not interfere much black in Need for Speed The Run which, let us not forget, is primarily a racing game without the claims of freedom of the episodes that had previously Underground or Most Wanted to name them. The Run is playing in another court, that a great show and the staging, with sets and sometimes interactive environments particularly varied, downtown Las Vegas glitz to the icy cold of the rock through the dust of Desert Hills or highways of Chicago. Clearly, this episode is the most varied of the series in terms of places visited and universe. This does not mean that the profile of race suffers as The Run offers a uniform gameplay no matter the time or the surface.
Need for Speed The Run is a very intense game. That the 5-7 hours it requires to be completed is short … A sense of brevity accentuated by the display of the total time of your run, not exceeding 3 hours, which excludes all dead moments or re-attempts. Some bad language will therefore be tempted to brag completing the title in 2:30, which is incorrect.
Returning to the gameplay, The Run plays a lot on your adaptability, between endless highways, trapped in traffic that often seen at the last moment, and hill climbing during which the slightest mistake is fatal, all punctuated by shortcuts shown on the map to the left of the screen. The Run will therefore sometimes very quickly beyond 300 km, the sensation of speed is also quite exhilarating, without loss of fluidity observed, except for very isolated passages. But it can get more technical on winding roads in the mountains, giving the Nitro an unusual role, one that allows the car to keep up support and traction out of corners. These phases are probably the most fun of the game and we regret that they are not more numerous. As we regret that the stage of rock is the only one to see the scenery change into huge trap, countless avalanches re-route continuously until you reach the finish line. Enjoyable but too short again!

If your mission is usually to trace a line of eight drivers to exceed three leading a team or win a duel with one of the favorites of the run, the best way to succeed is to take all the risks. Lead to misinterpretation, brushing against the traffic, drifter or improbable chain of jumps makes it possible to inflate the nitro gauge and then use it and abuse it whenever the opportunity arises. The mechanism is very classic but overall efficient.
However, although present at key moments of the run, the police is a parody of the one that amazed us in Hot Pursuit. Not only police but also lack of aggressiveness, merely vulgar dams with huge holes and intervene far too scripted . We much prefer the sprints between us and other contenders though they too are sometimes marred by a system of flashbacks and totally buggy respawn. While it is logical that an accident compels you to use a flashback, a kind of wildcard that allows you to restart from the checkpoint before, we accept evil in a small swerve the side or corner a little too caught the rope are considered failures automatically trigger a flashback! The player is frustrated by a mechanism inherent to the game and obviously completely unbalanced! Keep your four wheels on the road then becomes an obsession. A true climax to a title as arcade.
The Run is not perfect, but strangely, all these little problems are not enough to what is turning its back on a game that fills completely parallel role, that of the player drunk, driven by music that end to rush, as if your life depended on it. While it is often a question of progression by failure but the replayability of The Run is not debatable. Nothing prevents you from time to improve your time or raise the fifty challenges, admittedly, a little too inspired step of the run.

Finally, even if it is not successful, The Run has some phases of action that are realized either by interactive cutscenes stuffed with QTE to Heavy Rain, or by the prosecution with helicopter and armored 4×4 armed to the teeth. In both cases, we guess will boost a little leakage of Jack but the result is not great, especially in the second case.
However, the multiplayer allowing his side to challenge up to seven other people is a real disappointment. If a part is finding a piece of cake, it is poverty of supply which is a problem. Indeed, only a series of runs without exotic are available! No dedicated modes, no police so no duels between fugitives and cops and in the end, no difference in gameplay with the solo.
It is far from completeness of Hot Pursuit. Certainly Autolog also neatly links between you and your friends, causing a kind of hunting records permanently. But now, six sets of some races is too little for a community that gets carried away in the long term and it is unclear how the multiplayer will survive two or three months of activity. It has, however, an originality of the wheel bonus. Before each session, it is automatically launched and announced participants will receive the reward the winner of the mini-league. This can range from a simple pack profile pictures to a huge gain of XP via a new car.
Obviously, the winner is not the only one to be rewarded, a lot of XP is distributed according to your performance, whether or not a report with the list of objectives that you are set (for example, more than 3 drivers using nitro). Finally, note that it is possible to unlock group goals by inviting friends to ride together with you. Nice but not enough for our liking.
