My favorite NFS game of all times.
It is a great race across the USA very good idea for a racing game .
Much to see and experience in this game don't want to spoil nothing.
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.

Need for Speed: Underground 2Need For Speed Underground 2 takes place in Bayview after the events of Need for Speed: Underground. The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan Skyline R34 in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.Action

Instead of the F3600 anti-gravity racing competition, the game features an even faster and more dangerous tournament: the F5000 AG league.

Hi-OctaneHi-Octane is a racing/vehicular combat video game released in 1995 for the PC, PlayStation and Sega Saturn developed by Bullfrog and based upon their earlier Magic Carpet game code.
It is notable amongst racing games for its wide and open tracks, and the resulting freedom offered to the player, and also for its excessive speed. It suffered in the marketplace due to thematic similarities with the better received Wipeout by Psygnosis and the generality of its graphics engine made for a very short depth of view compared to contemporary racing games.
Hi-Octane is rumored to begin life as something several Bullfrog programmers coded in free time, and then decided to improve the game and market it under the auspices of Electronic Arts. Another version of the legend is: EA set Bullfrog under pressure to release Dungeon Keeper or Magic Carpet 2 - but they weren't able to. So they released Hi-Octane, a quickly done game.
In a Gamasutra article it was mentioned that "PC and Saturn racing game Hi-Octane, was developed in just eight weeks using the Magic Carpet engine, as a way to “fill a quarter that didn't have enough revenue”.Science fiction
