Need for Speed: The Run - My Impressions

For many years, the Need for Speed series remained the same. But now, with Need for Speed: The Run changes everything! The Series takes a new road, focusing in the story of a man who have to escape from Police through all the United States.

 The Gameplay looks like a mix of Burnout/NFS and Heavy Rain, creating a unique experience while you escape from Police until you have the opportunity to clean your name. The Graphics are INCREDIBLE! The use of the Frostbite Engine makes the experience even more impressive, escaping  in car or on feet. I really hope to play this game in the future!
