How ever this game deserves to be on GOG because, the only way to get it is to pirate it and we all don't want to do that if there is a legal way for us to own this cool game,
I see The Run as one of the boldest moves in the franchise — a game that broke away from the traditional formula with style. Its story could easily have been the plot of an action-packed road movie. While playing through the main campaign, I could really feel the urgency and the protagonist’s desperate need to win.
I enjoyed the visuals, the sense of momentum, and the variety of challenges introduced in each new stage. It was a unique and memorable journey, taking me through diverse and scenic locations across the United States, coast to coast.
Such an underrated game. I remember I used to play this with a few of my mates back when it was released. The Run, Most Wanted, Carbon and Undercover are some of the titles we loved playing back then. The title was unique in a way that felt like a cinematic action-packed rally race. We played at least 4 times to get a feel with the different cars available at the start of some of the stages in the game. My only complaint about the game are the QTEs at the start of the game and somewhere in between the stages.
