Need For Speed: The Run Demo....

So.........

The demo is finally here. I personally am well excited for this game and was really looking forward to geting my hands on the demo!

So what did everyone think?

I thought it was great. It felt heavier than I was expecting. Still arcade enough to keep me interested, but at the same time it felt pretty unforgiving.

As a rule, I suck giant sweaty old man balls when it comes to racers. I tend to stick to arcade racers because sims like GT and bore the ass off of me. But this felt better than alot of arcaders I have played before. I got my ass handed to me on Hard, so it'll be a normal playthrough for me I fear.

And the second race on Independence Pass really got the adrenaline going for me. Awesome!

So, thoughts?

Awful, the only good NFS game is Hot Pursuit because of Criterion.ultimameteora

Wanna elaborate a bit? What made it awful?

Criterion done a great job with Hot Pursuit, but the original NFS:HP was miles better in my opinion

Need for Speed: Most Wanted was the best in the series. Hot Pursuit is too much like Burnout because of Criterion.

Not looking too good in my opinion. The amount of stages is way too limited and the time it takes to complete them means this game could probably be beaten in around an hour. Ironbash

Is this just your guess or you have some facts about the number of stages? Beat the game in an hour? The game isn't even out yet as it comes out in like a month.

"There are over 300km of track, three times more than Hot Pursuit, making it the biggest Need For Speed game." (from wikipedia)

It was fun. A lil heavy like you said but it went away as time went by. I still want a NFS like underground or underground 2. silentnightmere

Me too.

But it seems like The Run will fill the gap nicely while we wait for the inevitable Undergroud remake/Undergroud 3

i wasn't too sure about this game after seeing some videos for it, but after playing the demo i thought the game was great ... excellent visual design and i thought the car controlled nicely especially the snowy level ... great racing.

NFS used to be a good series. THE HP on PS2 was phenomenal.

The new HP did not have the option to use Manual Shifting. It ended up like burnout and that was disapointing imo.

I'll have to check reviews of the new NFS. but will probably get it on a price drop.

I'm actually hoping for another Midnight Club game cause the amount of customization in the last one was impressive and it was fun game.

This is actually the reason why I loved the new HP. I've been wanting another burnout like Paradise, and this is Burnout with cops! Loved it.
