Entering the race is just a small taste of what's to come - crossing borders, weaving through heavy city traffic, risky driving on icy mountain passes and driving through narrow canyons with gas on the floor. Need for Speed The Run, powered by DICE's cutting-edge Frostbite™ 2 game engine, takes the action racing genre to new heights. The game's stunning visuals and physics-based car behavior on various roads are the main focus. It all takes place against the backdrop of a story that will grab you and won't let go. From the starting line at the Golden Gate Bridge to the finish at the foot of the Empire State Building, hot cars, nerve-wracking races and a wonderfully exciting story will be your faithful guides.

Powered by the Frostbite 2 game engine, Need for Speed The Run sets new standards in graphics and car physics. Need for Speed The Run will also feature a new, engaging storytelling style where every top performance will draw players deeper into a world without limits, rules, or allies. Autolog, the revolutionary online technology of the Need for Speed series, will once again be part of the game, but this time in an improved form. Through it, people will discover a great new way to play the game, track their career progress, and compare their stats.
