"The Story mode is often scripted." Wow, I'm not gonna finish watching this review after that brilliant statement.

I know I might get hate for this, but I think this N.F.S game is extremely underrated, this is actually one of my favourite games in the series.

Man, I remember the graphics looking WAY better than this...

Not gonna lie, playing "The Run" is the most fun I had since "Most Wanted" i still play this game to this day. They tried something new, pulled it off, and still got hate. Loved the cinematic story. This game is amazing.

Dont listen to the haters... this games is amazing and intense... like a summer blockbuster movie.... i felt like i was in a hollywood movie... and the story was a lot of fun and gave me a reason to want to get 1st.. NONE of the new NFS games have a story.. i'm just driving around for no reason.. it sucks... i need story in my games... this games rocks... its fun and exhilarating.. dont miss out

This game was great one of my top 3 nfs games but hey leave it IGN if it's not COD it's not a 10/10 lol

Why is a child reviewing this game in the first place?

[PEK]

I actually love this game, yea ok the driving is kind of bad but everything is made like you are in a movie, its different thats why i like it.

[neptunefly]

They rated it as a “dumb story” Honestly the game has one of the most badass stories in the NFS franchise.

[tamilselvan]

just 6.5 ratings are joking ???
i think NFS THE RUN is one of the best racing game

[holywalrus]

Honestly, I loved this game. It was the first racing game that i really enjoyed.

[solarneddy]

A guilty pleasure of a game. Highs, lows and in-betweens, The Run has maintained my interest and will continue to do so. A reboot/remaster/remake is long overdue

[justgrayyy]

I remember I was hyped for this game back in 2011! Still one of the greatest NFS games with a great cinematic story line!

[fallingseasons]

i honestly loved driving while getting shot at explosions and all. felt very cinematic which from what i recall is what video games were meant to be, although i wish the story was deeper and more compelling. I do think they should make a second NFS the run. overall sick game. 
all you haters can suck it!

IGN is still a joke.
One of the best racing game ever with an interesting story.

Dull Reviewers !! Still the same in 2021

6.5!?!?!?!
When I first got my Xbox360, I bought this and Minecraft. I fell in love with NFS because of this game. The story was very detailed and exciting. The areas look great and highly realistic. I've been to some of the locations in this game IRL and they look no different. I would give this game 11/10.

Looks like IGN is hiring 9 year olds as reviewers....makes sense now why fortnite has a high rating

[megaman]

Alright ive had enough of people ranting on about how bland the story is or how the characters are really bad. Because's here's the thing.... NONE OF THESE CHARACHTERS WERE MEANT TO MEMORABLE IN ANY especially jack. It clearly says it the FIRST THING YOU SEE WHEN STARTING THE GAME!!!! "His cockiness and arrogance have led him into a debt he can't repay."
The characters in this story never tried to make you feel sorry or compelled they were there to give you a bigger feeling as if you were truly racing for your life and in the end that was all this game was trying to do other than give you a great racing experience which it is. I personally think this game is so underated and is a great last game from blackbox before they were fired

at the end did it just say.... dumb story?








guess what buddy its better the most wanted 2012 and in my opinion mw 2005

[BitViper]

well, never looking at an IGN review again. cause the reviewers are COD fanboys who know nothing about racing games.
