THE RUN
The single player campaign called The Run takes you in a race across the USA in 10 stages, pitting you against time trial catch ups, place gaining races and racer battles. Mix this with cops, mountain passes, desert highways and city streets it can be challenging. Along with cut scene action sequences if your not quick on the buttons.
You start in San Fransisco and your first race is to get out of San Fransisco while gaining spots in the overall stands of 210 racers. This is your first run in with the cops, with enough ramming, you can take them out.
Battle races can consist of up to 4 other racers that you have to pas with in a time limit per car, similar to the Make up time races that happen every so often after races. These can happen any time on city, desert highways, or mountain roads.
Multiplayer
The multiplayer feature has 6 different play lists depending on what styl of car you want to drive.
Each play list is made up of sets of races, and also seperate list of challenges to unlock more cars to race with.
Along with play list solo challenges, there are group challenges you can complete with friends online to agin, unlock more cars.
Each set of races will also come with a reward for placing in the race. The reward varies depending on what the Reward Wheel lands on.
So in the end, I find Need For Speen: The Run to be a good addition to the franchise. If some sort of sequal is to come out, a little longer campaign game play would be nice in my opinion. I say give this game a try, alot of fun creating challenges with Autolog between you and your friends list.
