Nov 18, 2011Need for Speed: The Run is better than expected. It offers a great variety of different race modes, pretty cool videos and a lot of unlockable stuff. The autolog feature, which keeps players challenging each other, is for the first time included on 3DS, and the game offers some multiplayer possibilities.

Games Master UKDec 17, 2011It packs a considerable amount of content into that tiny cartridge. [Jan 2012, p.98]

Nintendo GamerJan 14, 2012A solid and punchy racer that lays it on too thick with the gimmicks and then forgets to put any bends in. All the same, this is a strong restart for NFS. [Christmas 2011, p.69]

Dec 15, 2011It's decent porting of the HD console version, but absolutely nothing special per se. You probably want to wait for batter racing experiences on 3DS, unless you're an absolute NFS fan.

Nov 17, 2011The Run is really good when the racing is kept simple, but unfortunately it rarely is. Unfortunately, the overall feeling you take away is frustration.

Dec 2, 2011We'd have loved to have some finesse in the driving, or more subtle tracks, but it's not the case. NFS the Run on the 3DS is an arcade racing game in which you just drive straight. It still offers a nice speed feeling, numerous challenges and and nice solo adventure, but its gameplay is too rough. If it's a real racing game you're looking for, that's not it.
-
Nov 26, 2011A tough game to recommend. Although it shows signs of life, those bothersome mini games get in the way of what could've been the best 3DS driving game.
