I've been hearing quite a bit about a new Need for Speed game coming out. So I decided to see what all the hype was about. This "Need for Speed: The Run" is supposed to be a whole new style of racing game. From what I've heard, it's going to be a mix between Need for Speed's signature sandbox street racing style, mixed with a Grand Theft Auto style "get out of your car" free roam. This is only what I've heard, I'm still looking into the details. I have played the demo and it still retains it's classic racing style, mixed in with a few Forza-like details.
And they brought back what they haven't done in a while, a story line. In the latest NFS game, the main character, Jackson "Jack" Rourke, has gotten in some trouble with an underground criminal organization, and owes either a large sum of money, or his life. He is given information about a 3000 mile long street race known as "The Run", where the prize is 25,000,000$. Enough to pay off his debts. But said organization, as well as the police won't let him win so easily.
In my opinion, Need for Speed was never really good with story lines. They are just not as captivating as that of most games. I loved the NFS series when they released the Underground games, they were the ultimate racing games, simple, creative, and fun to play. But their newer games are just not as fun. The Run is definitely not a game I would buy.
SWEET game i used to love racing games as a child ...
