Dang! I didn't even realize it came out yesterday.. Will have to give it a go, as I'm looking forward to this iteration that gets back (sorta) to the original NFS formula.

I had high hopes, but the gameplay is the same as Pro Street a.k.a. bad. Definelty going to cancel my reserve. Good thing I work at Gamestop, maybe I'll just sign it out one night.

This was a very disappointing demo. I'll admit that it was an awesome idea to include a level where you're dodging falling avalanche debris, but the camera bob and weaves too much on the turns and the terrible framerate makes it nearly very impossible to make quick decisions. It's not as satisfying as in last year's Hot Pursuit when you dodge a roadblock or pass an opponent, because you knew exactly what you were trying to do with your car and can see down the road to react in time. In The Run, its more of trial and error driving if that makes any sense?

If anything, I feel like this game puts driving as second priority to the action.

Yeah, sort of. Split/Second seems less chaotic from what I remember. I guess if a Bond game had an extended racing mission (minus the weapons) it would be this. Are you able to try the demo, goh? I would like to hear what you think.

Anyways, I put more time into the demo and notice the game is more controllable when in the hood or bumper view, where the camera isn't moving on its own.
