Taken From My YouTube Review:
Hey YouTube! My Name Is Armando Romero And This Is My Review Of Need For Speed: The Run For The Nintendo 3DS. So That We’re Clear I Have Not Played The Console Versions, So That Means I Won’t Be Making Comparisons In-between The Versions. Although Through Research I Found Out That The Storylines Have Been Altered For This Port. While Still Remaining Some What True To The Others
‘The Run’ Is Very Similar To A Previous Title, Called Hot Pursuit. Players Race Down Freeways Until They Meet A Police Car, The Police Will Try To Wreak Your Car By Blocking You And Bumping You. You’re Encouraged To Do ‘Take Downs’. While Most Of The Time The Objective Is To Finish The Race, There Are Also Several Points Where You Have You Do Take Downs On Your Rival.

Who Makes His Grand Entrance By Being Thrown Into A River. After Breaking Out You Meet The Female Character, Whom I Could Care Less About. So Much So That I Didn’t Even Bother Looking Up Her Name. The Story Is Divided Into 5 Acts And In Total Has 26 Episodes. I Wouldn’t Call This Game A Pick Up And Go Type For That Reason.
The Story Is Told In A Graphic Novel Style. The Cut-Scenes Act Out Like A Comic Book, But I Cannot Say This Helps The Game, In Act It Makes It Clear That The They Were Rushed. The Developers Were Not Interested In Creating A Full Experience. The Premise Remains Mostly Unchanged, There’s A Coast-to-Coast Race With A lot At Stake. Whether Or Not The Race Has Connections To A Mob Family Is Confusing.
Most Of The Time, You Will Be Scratching Your Head. Trying To Make Sense Out Of The Plot. The Storyline Is Bland, Boring And Predicable. But The Game Makes Up For This By Giving You Awesome Game-play. In My Opinion This Is One Of The Greatest Racing Game For The System. Outside Of Ma
