Need for Speed The Run Review (PlanetXbox360)

From the feature PlanetXbox360.com review:

"Out of all the developers that have handled Need for Speed titles in the past, EA developer Black Box has managed to create quite a few of the installments in the franchise. All of their console hits have included the highly acclaimed Need for Speed Underground and Underground 2, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Need for Speed: Carbon, Need for Speed: ProStreet, and Need for Speed: Undercover. Ever since the release of Need for Speed: Most Wanted (my personal favorite), Black Box has hardly delivered anything groundbreaking for the popular racing series. Their latest release Need for Speed: The Run is the 18th title in the franchise and delivers some classic action with an interesting plot, but comes up just a little short of the finish line to be considered the best in the series. The game opens like a scene out of the film Gone in 60 Seconds with bad boy racer Jack Rourke being caught in a dire situation with some powerful criminals in wh...

Most wanted 2012 imo was awful, on PS3 the graphics are dreadful, and the crash cam was very annoying. Rival is the worst imo, hated that game. My favourite is Hot Pursuit, great game. Also Shift 1&2 are really good.

High Stakes will always be my favorite. Great cars, great music, and you could see through the windows which was pretty mind-blowing at the time. Best of all it was ricer-free.

steven83r1725d ago

Lame. The list doesn't even include any of the originals. NFS 1 and NFS hot Pursuit 1998. Must be a youngster who created the list.

CYALTR1724d ago

He clearly stated that being this was an Xbox centered site he was going to limit his list to games that released on some form of Xbox. He also stated he had been playing them since OG PLaystation, so pretty sure he's not a "youngster"

From my personal experience NFS I personally don't like.......
The Worst : Underground 2 , Carbon, Prostreets, Undercover, Porche unleashed, Nitro, NFS World, 2012 Mostwanted, Rivals, 2015 Reboot last but not least Paycrap.
Best NFS I personally like :
All ps1 NFS : HighStakes (the best) including NFS 3 Hotpursuit , ps2 Hotpursuit 2 (Excellent game ) ..Underground ( Best so far)
2005 Mostwanted ( Excellent game) Shift 1/2 (Spectacular) remind me of GT , 2010 Hotpursuit Great game but race Waaaaaaay to long in my personal opinion . Last but not least The Run . these are my favorite NFS titles .
After The Run in my personal opinion NFS went down hill fast with Open world mapping crap, always online, multiplayer crap, alldrive, drifting in every freaking corners, no gripping anymore,autolog. None of this crapfest is NFS original formula. until Ea contract Ghost Games to return the original formula back in NFS it will always be Shitty game.

Plenty of them that does VO for video games and animated films like batman movies.

GigawattConduit2956d ago

Huh, didn't know Steve Carrell did video games. That feels just so weird. Already knew Magneto was in Fable 3, but it took me a while to place him.

Burnout Paradise, enough said.

Revenge is better any day, shame the online is as dead as a dodo :(

pop_tarts3491d ago

Have to agree with Matt here

Rebel_Scum3491d ago (Edited 3491d ago )

Wow 4/5 games listed are Need for Speed games. Nice variety...not.

Personally I would add Daytona USA. When that was released on xbox live there was a fairly decent community playing this game.
