Description
On one side of this country lie the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and cable cars — on the opposite coast there are massive skyscrapers, the Statue of Liberty and the endless glow of Times Square. What separates these two great cities is nearly 3,000 miles of roadway through dense urban centers, over epic mountains, across arid deserts and in constricted canyons. With no speed limits, rules or allies available, only Matt's determination and driving skills will keep him going in this heart-stopping race to get his life back. Thrills and excitement hide around every corner of this breakneck race across the country, but so do the police — and the men who want him dead. Evading these ruthless forces in one town won't be enough. You must have the Need for Speed.Prepare for the race of your life in Need For Speed: The Run. This extremely illegal, high-stakes race across the country requires only slick driving skills and your sheer determination to be first.

As you rocket down icy mountain passes, snake through dense urban centers and steer through narrow canyons, beware the unyielding police force determined to bring you down — by any means necessary, including lethal force.

I bought this game a week or so ago and just tried it. I wasn't expecting it to be so lame. The graphics aren't as good as other Need For Speed games, the sound quality is horrible, there aren't as nice of cars on it, the tracks are just runs and not lap tracks, it isn't all that challenging, there isn't much to the story line. I WOULD NOT recommend this game. It's practically a waste of money.
