NFS: The Run

[Rsohyes]

Anyone else got Need for Speed The Run?
Been playing for a couple hours and its not bad, couple of things are annoying me though.

The cars seem really slow, im driving a GTR and it takes aaaages to get over 100mph.
Also, the AI cars seem to be programmed to be faster than you no matter what, up until a certain point in the race.

Anyone else noticed this?

rubber banding ai seems a normal trick that the nfs series has, I very briefly tried a demo, didnt like the handling

Bloody hell! Its been plastered all over the TV adverts and town centres for the last few weeks. It is a continuation of a desperate attempt by EA to push the franchise, which has kind of taken a different turn, but doesn't appear to have learnt anything in the process.

NFS games are always going to be like this in my opinion. Even Shift was the same style and lost its appeal years ago personally.

I tried the demo and got bored quite quickly of the predictability during races. I sahll not be purchasing.

The thing is these games could be awesome. I was really hoping hot pursuit would be like hot pursuit 2 on the playstation 2. But it wasn't. I miss the big long chases and wondering whether or not you'd make it. The new one felt like the races were over way too soon.

Oh they could be. I wish they were in a way. They could really pull off something different and exciting, if they'd only have a look at work works these days..

[Chunkychucky]

I too wish they were, especially since they insist on buying the exclusive rights to Porsche... Best NFS games I ever played were NFS Road Challenge and NFS Porsche 2000, both on PS1. After that they began a steady decline..

After the first couple of races you can pull into a garage and change into a GTR with a 0-60 of 3.3, whereas every other car has 4+, yet ur still unable to out accelerate any of them!

The online part of the recent Hot Pursuit was awesome!

I had high hopes for this, the idea sounded damn good but having read various reviews saying the AI is far too intrusive i don't think i'll bother.

Are there any other driving games outwith NFS Shift & GT5 the learned would recommend?

Forza 4 is arguably the best racing game ever made for consoles, you will need an Xbox 360 (a new one, don't buy a used 360)

Still is.....I will not be bothering with "The run".

More than happy to continue with Hot pursuit for an arcade blast and Forza for a bit of realism :-)
