Need For Speed: The Run(PS3/XBOX360/PC) - Le videorecensioni di IGN(6,5) e Gamestop(7,0)

Closing Comments

Need for Speed: The Run has a good racer inside it. It can be exciting and visceral, and there were numerous times in the game where I stopped and said, “Sh--, that was cool.” But all this awesome racing action gets somewhat lost amid the nonexistent story, the dumb/scripted AI, the lack of options, and the overall shortness of the game. The Run is not a marathon racing game, it's a quick and dirty drag race.

IGN Ratings for Need for Speed: The Run (X360)

Rating	Description
out of 10	Click here for ratings guide
4.0	Presentation This isn't a bad story, it's not a story at all. It's the loose workings of a plot without the necessary cast.
8.0	Graphics The Run is not as pretty as Hot Pursuit, but the Frostbite 2 engine is well used.
7.5	Sound A large soundtrack that is used effectively. The voice acting is too limited (you'll hear every cop say the same thing).
6.5	Gameplay A fun, but flawed, arcade-style racing game. Too linear both in scope and tracks.
6.5	Lasting Appeal The online mode is fun, but I grew tired from my lack of options and the need to unlock online races.
6.5 OVERALL	Okay (out of 10)
