Other than the quick time events, it kinda got on my nerves how the game technically doesn't even have 10 stages, as 2 of them are just reversed versions of earlier stages. Really think this would've benefitted from a bit more development time to properly optimize the game and finish all the planned content (like the Tier 5 campaign that was rumoured) as it was a really solid game
Not only that. Have you heard of the Italian Pack DLC and the console exclusive cars like Tier 6 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X "Busuto"? Most of the signature edition were not longer obtainable like this Evo and the only obtainable are the Tier 5 Mazda MX-5 Tier 5 "T-Prime" and Tier 6 Porsche 911 GT2 (993) "Strade" and if we count the unreleased Tier 4 cars like Tier 4 Toyota Corolla AE86 GTS "Z3RO".

Adding some extra years worth of development time with some polish and a quick race mode with the Nintendo version's story (fixing some of the plot holes of course) with PC version quality cutscenes (in engine cutscenes) would make it way better than the PC version we got. Also don't forget that this version had classic NFS song remixes by Mick Gordon (the guy who did the soundtrack for Doom 2016, Eternal, and time trial races of The Run's PC version). Jack doesn't even have a true backstory compared to Matt (Nintendo version's hero). Matt was a professional racing driver before his best friend Jason's sister Wynona got killed by crashing Matt's car (because she was begging to drive a race car and Matt wouldn't let her so she took it one night and crashed, killed instantly) and that got him suspended to never race again. Then 11 years later, Jason attempted to murder him as revenge for his sister by sending hitmen to drown him in his car into the Pacific Ocean just before he could participate in the Run. Then he escapes his car and meets an unknown woman, we learn that she wants him to participate in the Run by driving her car. Turns out she is actually a mob boss's daughter and a government informant who has sensitive information about her family and is using The Run as cover to escape from the Di Marco Mob (her family). A few hundred miles later Jason attempts to kill Matt after he learns that Matt survived the murder attempt in SF. I can tell you more about the story, but this comment is already becoming too long to read. This story actually makes sense (other than the $1 million reward, but let's face it, the plot doesn't really let you spend any money) compared to the PC version but sadly the story got overshadowed thanks to the Wii/3DS version's LIDL status. Also, this version has more lines of story dialogue compared to the PC version. Not to mention that it has more cutscenes than the PC version. MW'05 started its development in late 2002/2003 as opposed to late 2004 (Watch the' NFSMW - 13 years later' video if you don't believe me). That's why NFS The Run needed 5 years of development time to be as good as MW. I have the Wii version and I like it for what it's worth. Also, thanks to Kuru for having both versions in a single video to give the Nintendo version the attention it deserves. Repurposing Frostbite 2.0 for NFS The Run took a whole year of development time that could have been spent on improving the game itself, imagine if BB upgraded its highly successful and reliable EAGL (aka Speed Engine) engine to 5.0 and made The Run on that engine. In case you didn't know, EAGL (EA Game Library) is the engine used for BB NFS games. NFS HP2 PS2 version and NFS UG1 used 1.0, NFS UG2 used 2.0, NFS MW and Carbon used 3.0, NFS Prostreet and Undercover used 4.0 (Undercover used a mixture of EAGL 4.0 and other third party engines). So The Run should have used EAGL 5.0 instead of Frostbite 2.0 so they could have used their development time properly. I wish EA invested some of their profit from FIFA games into NFS instead of being too greedy and not caring about the NFS series by forcing the developers to work with low budget and Frostbite. Frostbite is the reason new NFS games look like copy paste and worse than HP 2010, a 10 year old game. Criterion needs to abandon this engine and use HP2010 engine (Chameleon) or a brand new engine. Thank you for taking the time to read my long reply. I know, I put way too much effort into a reply of a comment.
@@elionthatblock9612 Look at Prostreet, it still looks great and MW on Xbox 360 was one of the true next gen looking games of it's time. They should have used EAGL for their future games because it's an awesome and reliable game engine. Every EAGL game aged better than most Frostbite games (The Run is an exception).
"A bit Lidl" is an understatement for the Wii Version, oh my god! xD But it being just an upscaled 3DS game explains that look. I was also considering storage space limitations being the reason for the Lidl look, because you need so many different tracks and assets
btw look at the difference in graphics between smash 3ds and the run 3ds, they really used all of it's performance for smash, the run looks like a dsi game compared to it
Back during my childhood I got the wii ports of most classic NFS games, so I was really surprised to find out the massive differences compared to other platforms... The comic story thing on The Run was cool though :)
Thinking about how the HP remaster's excuse for being done first was that it's on a familiar engine (Criterion's). Which begs the question: wouldn't The Run be easier to remaster since it's on Frostbite? Anyways, heroic video 🤙
This game NEEDS a part 2 With Brian Tyler, Mick Gordon and Michael Bay working on it. The soundtrack is so beautiful it brings me to tears every time i play the game.
3DS version was quite enjoyable actually, the quicktime events made good use of the touchscreen and the story is a lot better than the PC version. Wish we could have that game with PC graphics lol
Never had an Issue with the game on PS3, I consistently still return to The Run on PS3 and play through it in a Single Sitting... Easily the BEST NFS in a long time 👍
I have it too. It's way better than the pc version story wise and the fact it even has more lines of story dialogue compared to the pc version. Sadly this version's LIDL status made the Wii version overshadowed by the pc version. Also it lets you drive Lamborghini Aventador and Camaro ZL1, cars you can't drive in the main version unless you have the limited edition.
I remember playing The Run on 3DS and getting so pissed at this one challenge series event, i think it was a time trial in Philadelphia; this was probably just me but i swear it was rigged so you couldn't reach the target even with the fastest car you have
I played this game on my PC last year, before my gpu broke. It was very enjoyable. I had a little trouble, specially at the end. I used a wired controller without analog! xD
yea i played this w/o sound but with the 60 fps edit thingy, i enjoyed i guess the structure of the game itself; the idea of "the run" actually had alot of fun w/ it. but yea major bugs and shit +quicktime events felt out of order
Use the 60 fps mod on the PC version and it gives you the option of 40 and 50 fps in the menu. For some reason the 50 fps gets rid of the graphic problems that make the 60 almost unplayable, especially in the snow.
Wait, the Playstation 3 Version has the same choppy framerate problems as need for speed undercover on the same console? Dangit, and I was looking forward to getting Need for Speed: The Run on that console.
The Wii version was just a port from the 3DS version, all of the cutscenes are comicbooks because the cartrage for the 3ds can'ft hold that much story video, everything was all QTE because it was ment for the 3DS, there's a lower traffic rate brcause it can't handle that much traffic
How do you play these games? Emulator or a physical copy? ive been wanting to play the pepega mod but i dont know if i need to buy a nfs most wanted physical or find a download somewhere
it will be cool to see a sequel to this game, but it might not happen, since most people will want a open word game, rather than a linear map, they could make a map like the crew, but we all know that EA prefers quantity more than quality, I just remembered about nfs hp and its remastered and than worked pretty well, it could work, but EA and whoever will be working on it has to make sure its actually good.
The Run wouldn't be so broken if Black Box never used Frostbite to make it. Notice how HP10 and MW12 are more stable all Ghost NFS... Frostbite is really unstable
Lmao all of Black Box’s games were buggy messes. That’s just a Black Box problem. Playing their games on PC back when they came out was still like a bomb waiting to go off. Of course now they’re even more unstable because they’re running on much newer hardware and Win10 broke some stuff, but they really never were stable in the past except for Carbon. I’ve never had random crashes in Ghost’s games like I have with all of Black Box’s games. The only time I can get them to crash is if I’m forcing the game to do something that it shouldn’t be doing through mods. One reason Ghost’s games are less polished (in terms of bugs, not crashing) is that Ghost was managing a MUCH larger codebase than Black Box or Criterion ever had to, so of course that’s gonna introduce a lot of problems especially when they’ve been building off of Black Box’s wack code from The Run along with building every single one of their games basically on top of Rivals. A lot of things went wrong with the NFS series, but I don’t think Frostbite can be blamed for any of its issues.

If there’s one thing I don’t like about the game, it’s how handling is, well, handled. A lot of the cool cars have terrible handling.

Strangely how the lighting isn't ported from the 3DS like why. At least it made the game bit more natural.
How do you play these games? Emulator or a physical copy? ive been wanting to play the pepega mod but i dont know if i need to buy a nfs most wanted physical or find a download somewhere
The pepega mod works with pirated copy too. It may crash bit more (it depends).
