"The Story mode is often scripted." Wow, I'm not gonna finish watching this review after that brilliant statement.
🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
I know I might get hate for this, but I think this N.F.S game is extremely underrated, this is actually one of my favourite games in the series.
Yeah, agree.
how was it? better than most wanted 2005 (best of the series imo)?
CookieeMonstarr666 I wouldn't say it is better than the old Most Wanted. But it is a really fun game to play to pass the time especially on weekends.
kirbyfan107 yeah how bout rivals?
CookieeMonstarr666 I haven't played Rivals, so I can't say if the Run is better.
Not gonna lie, playing "The Run" is the most fun I had since "Most Wanted" i still play this game to this day. They tried something new, pulled it off, and still got hate. Loved the cinematic story. This game is amazing.
Need For Speed The Run has the most interesting story ever, a speed battle royal thousand miles journey from west to east across America, run for life and salvation, that's why The Run is amazing, but sad it is too underrated.
Man, I remember the graphics looking WAY better than this...
That's what I was thinking! xD they're atrocious
It dose look great on ultra on pc. It's better graphics than most Flagship racing games today. Ie nfs payback
Jamani Bergh bullshit,go play forza horizon 3 and then speak
@@mkb144p6 horizon 3 looks meh after horizon 4 is out
lol true
Dont listen to the haters... this games is amazing and intense... like a summer blockbuster movie.... i felt like i was in a hollywood movie... and the story was a lot of fun and gave me a reason to want to get 1st.. NONE of the new NFS games have a story.. i'm just driving around for no reason.. it sucks... i need story in my games... this games rocks... its fun and exhilarating.. dont miss out
Exactly, the new NFSs are boring because the don't have a main story. The Run to me felt like a GTA game because of the story, at a point of the game you had to jack a car, cops on your ass and the freaking mafia shooting at you!
*****
yup good point my man.. it was awesome... maybe i'll do a review on it...lol.. its been a while but i think people need a positive point of view on this game.
Nerd or Die You should definatly do a review!
Say again Bro. This is the best need for speed game nfs has ever done. The rest of the nfs games are for those who don't give a damn about stories
Adrian Antoniak. Most wanted is about street racing. Always driving in one city. What story about those kind of nfs games have they done that we haven't seen before? The run's story has just not been done before, and it's awesome. I always wonder why some people think it's a bad game
just 6.5 ratings are joking ???
i think NFS THE RUN is one of the best racing game
better than hot pursuit and shift
How, How, How is it one of the best racing games just how
I 100% agree with you. This is the best nfs for PS3/Xbox 360
No the run is trash that handling is really bad it plays a lot like pro Street and this is a big one Black box studios is no more thanks damn e.a shut it's doors in 2013
I thought the same.. Best of best after nfs underground and underground 2
wanna hear a joke?
IGN
+Igor Mojak Wanna hear another Joke:
Call of duty Ghost = 9.0 score from IGN
Igor Mojak this game was made for mentslly ill people
mshh uncharted4 is better
Hahaah
Great joke
They rated it as a “dumb story” Honestly the game has one of the most badass stories in the NFS franchise.
Wrong! The game is horrendously bad, in fact one of the worst video games ever. Not sure what you smoking buddy LOL
It really has a dumb story, the set up was nice and the ending...kinda, but everything in between was just weak sauce,
@@MrSr3nity_97 "Doesnt explain why they are bad" Go back to your mediocre cod.
@saturdaysun7699 If The Run story is dumb to you, what do you think of the classics like NFS MW or Underground 1 and 2?
Why is a child reviewing this game in the first place?
GangStarr4life96 You hear a child, someone hears a guy. I hear a lady! WTF?
@@nostalium lol I thought it was a lady at first too
Pra Pra lmao
I actually love this game,yea ok the driving is kind of bad but everything is made like you are in a movie,its different thats why i like it.
is it the same feeling like playing modern warfare 3 (interactive movie and just that imo) or the walking dead (interactive movie but with good plot and much more cool stuffs)?
This game was great one of my top 3 nfs games but hey leave it IGN if it's not COD it's not a 10/10 lol
A guilty pleasure of a game. Highs, lows and in-betweens, The Run has maintained my interest and will continue to do so. A reboot/remaster/remake is long overdue
Honestly, I loved this game. It was the first racing game that i really enjoyed.
Car list is definitely a plus point, one of best ive seen
same
i honestly loved driving while getting shot at explosions and all. felt very cinematic which from what i recall is what video games were meant to be, although i wish the story was deeper and more compelling. I do think they should make a second NFS the run. overall sick game.
all you haters can suck it!
Joey Srour Did you look at the graphics, it was amateurish and bad, the driving experince is semi alright but the nonstop driving for positions, time or battle time is just not gonna cut it, i miss some customizing like in NFS: U1 and U2.. though i liked they had a Nissan Fairlady from 71', that blended well into the game.. not all those damn musclecars and supercars all the time..
Alright ive had enough of people ranting on about how bland the story is or how the characters are really bad. Because's here's the thing.... NONE OF THESE CHARACHTERS WERE MEANT TO MEMORABLE IN ANY WAY!!!!!!! especially jack. It clearly says it the FIRST THING YOU SEE WHEN STARTING THE GAME!!!! "His cockiness and arrogance have led him into a debt he can't repay."
The characters in this story never tried to make you feel sorry or compelled they were there to give you a bigger feeling as if you were truly racing for your life and in the end that was all this game was trying to do other than give you a great racing experience which it is. I personally think this game is so underated and is a great last game from blackbox before they were fired
6.5!?!?!?!
When I first got my Xbox360, I bought this and Minecraft. I fell in love with NFS because of this game. The story was very detailed and exciting. The areas look great and highly realistic. I've been to some of the locations in this game IRL and they look no different. I would give this game 11/10.
I remember I was hyped for this game back in 2011! Still one of the greatest NFS games with a great cinematic story line!
Game is bad, worst NFS game ever
@@MrSr3nity_97 but why??
This guy is hella bias
when will they make a NFS like "most wanted 2005" and "carbon" where you can play a story line and customize your cars to become the best.... :\
HussBeatz Because we don't travel through time.
why not :\
ea blackbox the maker of those games are shutdown
Because those games are overrated trash
2015. XD
well, never looking at an IGN review again. cause the reviewers are COD fanboys who know nothing about racing games.
It's just an opinion.
Cameron Smith Well they said "or they could've just killed this one guy". This is a racing game not a shooter, but they act like because you have to race across the U.S. that this is a bad game.
He said "or maybe he just has to kill this one guy,I don't know ".
Cameron Smith
point is though, it is a racer not a shooter. Oh well though what can I do. This game is 10x better than MW 2012.
DriftBoy24167 You can get it for as cheap as £4 lol, achievements are easy to get at least :p
9 years later :
IGN is still a joke.
One of the best racing game ever with an interesting story.
Dull Reviewers !! Still the same in 2021
The fans thought the same thing years ago too, when they look at NFS The Run as a joke!
I've been pretty impressed with the run up until now. The final race. Specifically the trains that are traveling at 100+ mph. What?!
I love this game. In my top 3 favourites in the series.
What are d other two
@@SheckleRFan715 Not really decided.
"Jack is a cop killing douchbag." Ok, douchbag? Sure. Cop killer? No. He never killed a cop in the game.
I would have given this game a 7.5 .
I am so glad I am not alone when it comes to thining this game was awsome.. Despite the reviews that put this game down, It is still one of my favorite racers... I wish they made a PS4 sequel with the battlefield 4 Engine.. shoot I WISH this was on PS4 , (with some upgrades of course)
This the most fun I've had playing a NFS since Most Wanted 2005. And I've had them all, up to PayBack.
You give this game a 6 out of 10, what blasphemy, this game is an 9.5 out of 10 in my personal opinion.
Need For Speed Undercover is GREAT!!!
I agree i dont know why are peapole bitching about it
*****
worldoffunny808 who cares?
***** Obviously you because you just left a comment.
Only if you played the PS2 version. However even that one was only good, not great.
Was it me or was the handling god awful in the game!?!!
its realistic therefore its awful
***** Well, it was made with Frostbite, a game engine designed only for first-person shooters.
Ah hell, that's not excuse for it.
@@TrackmaniaStudios Also, the engine has nothing to do with physics.
No it was your crappy gameplay.
skill issue
I remember enjoying this game far more than ign says i did.
6 years later you will meet NFS Payback and you will get to appreciate that story mode you deem unnecessary
This game is so cool and epic, love this game still playing to this day
at the end did it just say.... dumb story?
guess what buddy its better the most wanted 2012 and in my opinion mw 2005
ign is a joke a 6.5 need for speed the run is awesome I finished it again today and I loved every minute of it its a great game
This is the most amazing racing game you'll ever play .
Also you can't compare this to forza
The first NFS game to have the biggest map
NFS The Run is not open world racing game and haven`t had exact map. Just different stages of USA that had point a and point b roads that had beginning and end. And to be honest the longest race is still shorter than the longest race in NFS Hot Pursuit 2010. Plus unfortunately this game is not The Crew but it could be.
Looks like IGN is hiring 9 year olds as reviewers....makes sense now why fortnite has a high rating
This is why I usually wait several months and buy the game when it's $15 used. I would have felt ripped off if I got The Run for $60, but for $15 it's a very good buy.
This is the best NFS ever. That is my opinion. I love the reality of it and I love the plot to the whole Run
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Hey this game at least deserved a 7.5 AT LEAST
The Run was the last best NFS game
Most Wanted & Rivals are boring with their pointless, repetitive driving...
nah rivals was awesome just needs that street car customization the old ones had
LOL
Hell no those two were better than the run. Most wanted gave me the freedom, cars and fun that the run lacked. And rivals even better.
Rogue Warrior true
Rogue Warrior except payback and 2015 are great
Why are game reviewers comparing this game too there nfs games. This isn't wat ur supposed to do in a game review. The run was good but just had minor negatives. I personally would give it 7.5 coz it deserved this a better score than 6.5 and this was far better than most wanted 2012
well the old nfs games are far out the best that ive ever played. Criteon in my opinion ruined nfs so far, making it an arcade game than what it used to be. I dont wanna play nfs if its just gonna be another burnout game. Hot pursuit was ok for me but after that nfs went downhill into a never ending cliff. If EA wakes up and actually plays the old nfs games then maybe just maybe NFS will be saved
Memalede Same, i remember casually racing and you see a police on the map, your sensors beep and it shows what cops waiting as a close up, makes it awesome, i wish rivals had that, beats spawning cops anyday -__-
chill mw 2012 was better..
Memalede i personally love NFS mW but I have many memories with underground 2 if anyone remembers that game it was great I'm sure its on steam or good ol games or something like hec it be on psn for I'll know just go see if you can find it awesome and its by far my fav
You can't even compare this failure to mw2012.
i know what you mean. underground 1 and 2 really made me feel like i had freedom as a street racer. the feel of the story, the racing, drifting, dragging, and customizing had the smoothest surfaces ever. everything flowed well.
i will not say most wanted was crap, the pacing of escaping cops relived the hot pursuit eras from 1-3, and it was a joyride. don't know why but carbon felt a bit empty, but still had the cop pacing spot on.
why do people hate this game?? had lots of fun playing it and real good graphics.
1 reason because of boomers that still miss NFS Underground 1-2/Most Wanted.
I'm not a racing games entusiast, but since Hot Pursuit 2 from the early 2000's, this The Run made me want to play more. I'll giving a chance to the new Hot Pursuit title and the shift, but one thing for sure, The Run reached my top 5, which has Motorstorm Apocalypse, Flatout 2, Toca 3, and NFS: Hot Pursuit 2
I liked the fucking story it was new, refreshing and full of action so it hasnt got free roam if you wanna piss off cops by driving into them play gta if you wanna break the speed limit play mafia 2
The best nfs game since the first Most wanted.
can you upgrade ur car as in back with the underground, or is it as sucky as hot pursuit, where you only get new cars ?
IGN only had 720p back then?
In 2011?
IGN, I am a big fan of your reviews, but I completely disagree with this one. This game, NFS Prostreet, and NFS Undercover are my 3 favorites in the entire series.
Have you played any other game outside those three?
Sorry to say but excluding The Run, the other 2 are the worst in the series.
I acculy love this game
I rate this review 0.00001
LMAO
so i really wanted to get this game but judging by the review it sounds as if the older nfs games are much better. im fairly new to the series what would be a good game to start out with?
IMO this is the most underrated NFS game. Despite the absent story and long load times, there are awesome graphics and LOTS of cars from Supra to Aventador that makes a petrolhead very happy. The races can get REALLY intense as well.
It's true that I started with MW, but sticking to a game's roots throughout 10+ titles can get old(Look at COD). This was closer to its roots than shift, another successful NFS title.
the run is the worst nfs ever. hot pursuit is the best modern nfs ever while the original most wanted is the best nfs ever.
The Run worst ever? No, your thinking of Undercover. Or that Street one.
ColinZeal pro street was okay
rahmanshadman "worst"
I didnt really like nfs hot pursuit
rahmanshadman I think you were talking about most wanted 2012 or nfs nitro
How and why does even IGN exists?
More like Need for Speed The Runs.
Who made MW and Carbon? Black Box?
All I think this game needed to be perfect IMO was more customisation and more re-playability.
It deserves less than a 6. This game is beyond dissapointing and frustrating
This is a second account I mainly use for humour.
I feel as though you are butthurt about me criticizing some game you like.
Or why else would you be so valiantly taking shots at me? This is my secondary account as I said before. My primary account has 55 subscribers. It's not much and sure as he'll not something to brag about but this channel I'm using right now for stupid shit is just for fun.
MOPED GANG TV Turning the car in this game feels like putting a sweater on a walrus...
"Hold still! I'm trying to put the damn sweater on you! The water is cold, you'll get a fever!"
If you hate urinals because you are a looser, dont blame the game
Let's boost those dislikes guys!
Black Box shoudn't study Criterion Games's Player Crash camera
hey is there cockpit view? if not im not gettin it
which game is more worth buying the run or the new hot pursuit?
NFS 2015 had long story.... I wish the run also need long and meaningful storyline....
Should i keep shift 2 or trade in for the run?
@TheSUBGAMER lol, whats wrong? still use pentium 4?
@j3w3lz21 ya i miss most wanted does it work on xbox 360 for regular xbox?
what's the best to buy hot pursuit or the run???
Is this Game worth me Buying for $20? Target has it on Sale in my Area until Sunday, I was considering it.
i downloaded this and i was wondering when it was gonna bring me to a city....then i realised they've replaced the city with pure highways instead. an interesting move which brings more speed...i like it.
what sorrta game you looking for? realistic or arcadey? dirt 3 , motorstorm , grand tourismo are all great
This game is on sale on xbl is it worth it?
does it have a cockpit view?
Why is my handling feel like droning?
At least they were being "honest about it. NFS The Run is a pretty decent action racing game. I don't care what people say about it, it's a great game. I'm pretty sure in the future they'll make a sequel to the game.
Should i get this or Hot Pursuit? I have a PS3 and have never played a Need for Speed game. What ones a better starter? And which one is more fun in general? If someone would please help I'd very much appreciate it. Thanks.
Damn.. this dude completely missed the point of the brief story line.. It's not supposed to make you care about the main character or make sense, it's supposed to immerse you in the game and motivate you to go as fast as possible without making a mistake... you can't deny the feel of rush while racing unlike any other NFS, it never feels repetitive even though you're doing the same thing over and over again which is just Accelerate,drift and avoid getting wrecked (which is what most racing games are) and that hinge of baddassery you get everytime you get through a race without using a single reset. AND THE MUSIC USED IN THE GAME! YOU FORGOT TO MENTION THAT! Like seriously... It's just phenomenal!
This game deserves an 8 or 9... what a joke of a review :D
IS IT ALLWAYS RACING? OR CAN YOU FREE ROME LIKE NFS MOST WANTED?
Should I get this or hot pursuit?
R.I.P Midnight Club. Best Racing Series ever. Period. Open World, Car Customization up the ass, Race creator/editor, Online Multiplayer, and different Multiplayer gamemodes. Everything you could ever ask for in a racing game.
All I ever wanted in a NFS game is for free roaming to where you can do extra racing and side missions , being able to customize cars add tattoos to cars and to have and good cars too
how do you unlock cars?
is there a mode when you just can go around, not in a race and get in police chases?
Can some 1 explain to me why the massive urge of a come back of carbon by many? I understand that Underground 2 was a bomb in customisation but I still don't understand
how is carbon so worshipped as the days pass by, does the ones that dream with a new carbon already played nfsu2? (guess not) or are just like the ones that says that looks are everything? (for that you can keep :the run)
Also i hate how people let children to review games. I would say they need to put a mature gamer. Maybe 30 or 40 years old, that could provide independent opinion based on originality anth other important and appealing factors and free of personal opinions
hot pursuit is best than the run?
what racing game should i get
i dont like racing sims like were you have to do all that fancy gear shifting or any of that crap im on ps3 i would like a game like you hold down one button to move and the analog stick to move something arcade like
@doneystoney you mean a hot pursuit 4 right?
Can u customize cars?
The story is that jack get involved with a mob and has to pay money so the run offers 25 million dollars so he can pay the mob or something
Name of the song at the begining?
Mynude - Manstorm
***** No need to be scared of me lmao, I'm way to friendly to be scary(looks are debatable) :D
***** Man, its just a girl for Christ sake... its not a monster lol.
***** NEŠ JEBAT!!!!!
***** :(
Its looks more like Hot Pursuit except they put all the get away tracks into a long cross country one?
Did i hear right that the campaign was only like, two hours long?
is there customisebly cars online
Whats the best Need For Speed game on ps3? Or the best racing game on ps3?
I love how he never mentioned Chicago. Damn that’s my home city
I wish we they would put in free roam w/ the police chasing after and conditions, customizations that NFS used to have. Everyone loved that formula for NFS, they seriously should bring that back and maybe add in some new stuff so its fresh and new. That would be awesome.
Actually Carbon is MW2 :D
