Need for Speed: The Run - Playstation 3

This game exceeded my expectations after I bought it for $10. There is finally a story in this game. While it may not be the best and may only be a timed sequences where you press a button to perform an action during a scene like Heavy Rain, it still is good. Graphics: Excellent. The Frostbite 2 engine in this game that they use for the Battlefield series really shows. Colors are bright, saturation is balanced, and lighting is, of course with this engine, spectacular. Sound: I knew the sound would be excellent from the start. I am using a home theatre system, and the cars sound GREAT. Some of the cars that you know should sound mean, sound...mean. This may be a small thing, but even the tire screeching impressed me. It is not overly annoying like in Gran Turismo. The sound perfectly matches the attempts the car tries to get a grip of the road when you turn. The music choice is excellent too. Strolling through the country side and transitioning into country is some kind of upbeat pop country, really heightens the tension. Gameplay: As cars blaze upwards in a series of streets in an incline only found in San Fransisco, the car doesn't stay LASER STRAIGHT. If you pay attention, the car actually slightly moves left and right in an attempt to regain traction with the car. Great realism! The handling of the cars is also impressive because it is more realistic than previous Need for Speeds. No turning on a dime doing 100mp around a corner. You can still do that, but still takes a little skill. The car choice in this game is a little overwhelming. Not only do you have supercars like Murcielago, but some standard cars too. Sound familiar? Need for Speed Underground has this kind of car selection, because sometimes you need to relate yourself to the typical driver, not to some millionaire who affords a Ferrari, as well as the police somehow...My favorite car, the Nissan GT-R is in this game too. NOW, considering there is actually a story line in this game, expect guns. The opening scene has people shooting at your car, yes shooting. Some of you might be skeptical. "Guns in a NFS game?" Let me remind you that the famous movie Fast and the Furious wasn't just about racing, it had a storyline too with GUNS in it. So what if there are guns? The more guns, if you ask me, the more there is an actual story line, rather than the typical Need for Speed "I need to make a name for myself by working through the ranks" story. In conclusion: This game is like a racing game and an action movie combined into one. If you want to play Need for Speed Pursuit where you go 500mph and have police chasing you at those speeds and have to crash through a police blockade at those speeds sustaining little damage, so ahead. I'll be right here soaking up the game that is as close as you can get to the Fast and the Furious movie, as close as you can get to an action movie, and as close as you can get to some sort of realism involved.

I recently bought this game again for the second time,if you're a fan of the Need for Speed games this is definitely worth playing on PS3.

Hands down best racing games I've ever played, first off there's not customization for ANY cars but that would be the only downside in my opinion. Now with the con outta the way let me talk about the greatness of this game. Its graphics are off the chain, I love most of these cars and they not only have new sports cars but classic models too. Its amazing sound with a gaming headset, and when you crash you feel the intensity and shame of it lol, you will never want to crash again unless you like to crash? The story/campaign is really well put together. They give you real extreme scenarios were you have to pay attention to actually keep it going. The campaign is long enough to satisfy anybody unless you unreasonably except more from a racing game, and aside from the campaign they have challenges for a wide variety of cars (exotic, muscle, technical), tracks(backwards included) and cops of course. Overall I think this is a must have game for any race loving gamer.

Good Game

It is rare that I give a product or a video game 5 stars, But this one definitely deserves it. For a PS 3 the graphics in this game are awesome!! Everything looks and feels very real. Very good AI. Doing the campaign is like being in a movie! In addition to tons of crazy driving and challenges, there are also times where you have to do things outside of the car! Like resisting arrest and running from the cops to having to break your way out of your car that's been rolled over to having to Dodge bullets!! Both the Campaign mode and challenge mode are exciting and outstanding! I definitely recommend this game to anyone not just racing game people!

Well lets start with the bad things I found: -Some people can feel there's no sensation when racing, like you don't feel the car like in other games. -In easy and even in normal I found it's too easy to win, But in hard difficulty it was hard to not crash against cop cars (but races became funnier). -I don't care about the story. Why put a story in an arcade racing game? -There are lags or bugs? Not for me at the moment... Yes one huge! Play New York Online, you'll see. Happens to me every time with that race and some other races in online gameplay. -No matter if you go out of track, getting frontal crash with normal vehicules and/or police vehicles or crash with the nature, the game will put you instantly to the last check point if your car "wrecked". (charging time when this happens) Press "select" was much better. -Kind of linear. -Most of the time AI cars reach you from nowhere. -Very easy to complete the platinum trophy, just two trophies remaining to get it. So yes it's a short game. the good: -Firstable, grafics... Awesome! cars, nature, city, everything here is fantasticly done! -Car damage looks amazing, well done. -Some say in their reviews that the AI cars does not use short cuts, of course, if you're playing in easy they wont! ...or they never advanced in the game to find out they were wrong. (Just put it, say "I don't like it", got out from the game and pulsed "eject", then went to amazon and wrote a review) -Liked the online gameplay a lot. Usually I don't spent time in online game modes. -Like said "Vyprstryke" in his review: "The story is fairly short, it's also to encourage you to replay it to surpass a friends autolog completion time for the campaign (Positive point for me). But if you're not one to care for competition, then there are a good amount of challenge modes that unlock as you complete each stage in the campaign"(times here are compared with friends too). -About the challenge mode; Complete the challenges and try to earn at least gold. Autolog tells you every time a friend beat your time to you to beat him. You get rewarded by completing challenges, getting medals and beating friend's time: xp, new cars, new profile items. -Finally some of the bad things can be solved with a patch. Done already, they repaired the reset mode, now if you go out of the track without wreck, you'll be right back at the track, but you'll lose valious seconds. -The car list is huge! Love it! I like almost all the cars! Despite to be a short game, compared with previous NFS, this one is far from be the black sheep. Of course it's not Most Wanted or Underground, but this is a really good game (for me it's better than those previous both). That's why after played various challenges, I found that this game is kind of retro, if you played NFS III or High Stakes (one of my favorite car games ever), you will find similarities. I love that, is great! Loved Challenge mode. Online players, you will enjoy it and have lot of fun! there are lot's of cars to unlock in online. Little advise: If at the begining you feel disapointed, give it a shot. At least, you will have good reasons to say why you don't like this game. Just in case: sorry about my english.

I am happy to say this game is worth the price and is very fun and I recommend this because it's different but in a good way

Lots of fun

Jogo requer uso on-line do videogame somente! Não é possível jogar modo no aparelho ou é muito mal explicado no jogo!

i gave i sar because the product u send me was NFS the run not LIMITED version

This is a normal edition not a limited edition. Very bad way to lure the customers by giving wrong title.
