Need for Speed The Run

Takes players on a heart-pounding cross-country race from San Francisco to New York.

VideoGamer.com Score:

6

Our Verdict: With the campaign over in an afternoon and the rest of the package failing to offer anything to keep you playing, The Run is some decent throwaway fun that will be forgotten very quickly.
