"  Was I the only Need for Speed fan groaning during EA’s E3 press conference once it was revealed that The Run’s racing cache would be… quick time events? So… instead of falling back on the good favor you’ve earned from SHIFT and Hot Pursuit, you’re making this your flagship racing franchise into The Fugitive?!

"It comes to a halt too frequently, but when it's speeding along, Need for Speed: The Run makes cross-country racing a joy. "
