Race as Jack, a marked man, and experience the thrill of outrunning both rivals and law enforcement in a race against time. ## Description On one side of this country lie the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and cable cars — on the opposite coast there are massive skyscrapers, the Statue of Liberty and the endless glow of Times Square. What separates these two great cities is nearly 3,000 miles of roadway through dense urban centers, over epic mountains, across arid deserts and in constricted canyons. With no speed limits, rules or allies available, only Jack's determination and driving skills will keep him going in this heart-stopping race to get his life back. Thrills and excitement hide around every corner of this breakneck race across the country, but so do the police — and the men who want him dead. Evading these ruthless forces in one town won't be enough. You must have the Need for Speed. Prepare for the race of your life in Need For Speed: The Run. This extremely illegal, high-stakes race across the country requires only slick driving skills and your sheer determination to be first. There are no rules, no allies and most importantly, no speed limits in this dangerous competition. Battle against hundreds of the world's most infamous drivers on the country's most hazardous roads. As you rocket down icy mountain passes, snake through dense urban centers and steer through narrow canyons, beware the unyielding police force determined to bring you down — by any means necessary, including lethal force. Are you ready for the drive of your life? It's called The Run. An illicit, high-stakes race across the country. The only way to get your life back is to be the first from San Francisco to New York. No speed limits. No rules. No allies. All you have are your driving skills and sheer determination as you battle hundreds of the world's most notorious drivers on the country's most dangerous roads. In Need for Speed The Run, you'll weave through dense urban centers, rocket down icy mountain passes and navigate narrow canyons at breakneck speeds, all the while evading a relentless police force prepared – and willing – to use lethal force to take you down. Review: Need for Speed, finally...with a story - This game exceeded my expectations after I bought it for $10. There is finally a story in this game. While it may not be the best and may only be a timed sequences where you press a button to perform an action during a scene like Heavy Rain, it still is good. Graphics: Excellent. The Frostbite 2 engine in this game that they use for the Battlefield series really shows. Colors are bright, saturation is balanced, and lighting is, of course with this engine, spectacular. Sound: I knew the sound would be excellent from the start. I am using a home theatre system, and the cars sound GREAT. Some of the cars that you know should sound mean, sound...mean. This may be a small thing, but even the tire screeching impressed me. It is not overly annoying like in Gran Turismo. The sound perfectly matches the attempts the car tries to get a grip of the road when you turn. The music choice is excellent too. Strolling through the country side and transitioning into country is some kind of upbeat pop country, really heightens the tension. Gameplay: As cars blaze upwards in a series of streets in an incline only found in San Fransisco, the car doesn't stay LASER STRAIGHT. If you pay attention, the car actually slightly moves left and right in an attempt to regain traction with the car. Great realism! The handling of the cars is also impressive because it is more realistic than previous Need for Speeds. No turning on a dime doing 100mp around a corner. You can still do that, but still takes a little skill. The car choice in this game is a little overwhelming. Not only do you have supercars like Murcielago, but some standard cars too. Sound familiar? Need for Speed Underground has this kind of car selection, because sometimes you need to relate yourself to the typical driver, not to some millionaire who affords a Ferrari, as well as the police somehow...My favorite car, the Nissan GT-R is in this game too. NOW, considering there is actually a story line in this game, expect guns. The opening scene has people shooting at your car, yes shooting. Some of you might be skeptical. "Guns in a NFS game?" Let me remind you that the famous movie Fast and the Furious wasn't just about racing, it had a storyline too with GUNS in it. So what if there are guns? The more guns, if you ask me, the more there is an actual story line, rather than the typical Need for Speed "I need to make a name for myself by working through the ranks" story. In conclusion: This game is like a racing game and an action movie combined into one. If you want to play Need for Speed Pursuit where you go 500mph and have police chasing you at those speeds and have to crash through a police blockade at those speeds sustaining little damage, so ahead. I'll be right here soaking up the game that is as close as you can get to the Fast and the Furious movie, as close as you can get to an action movie, and as close as you can get to some sort of realism involved. Review: Good solid game from the Need for speed franchise on PS3 - I recently bought this game again for the second time,if you're a fan of the Need for Speed games this is definitely worth playing on PS3. ## Features - Be the first to cross the finish line as you speed across the country from San Francisco to New York in an illicit, high-stakes race - Race as Jack, a marked man who must make it to New York City ahead of the competition, the police and the men who want him dead ## Images ![Need for Speed: The Run - Playstation 3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81slhc-qp9L.jpg) ![Need for Speed: The Run - Playstation 3 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Y9cUtB7LL.jpg) ![Need for Speed: The Run - Playstation 3 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51WzbguWjjL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Platform For Display** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Need for Speed, finally...with a story *by R***D on December 25, 2013* This game exceeded my expectations after I bought it for $10.

Now with the con outta the way let me talk about the greatness of this game. Its graphics are off the chain, I love most of these cars and they not only have new sports cars but classic models too. Its amazing sound with a gaming headset, and when you crash you feel the intensity and shame of it lol, you will never want to crash again unless you like to crash? The story/campaign is really well put together. They give you real extreme scenarios were you have to pay attention to actually keep it going. The campaign is long enough to satisfy anybody unless you unreasonably except more from a racing game, and aside from the campaign they have challenges for a wide variety of cars (exotic, muscle, technical), tracks(backwards included) and cops of course. Overall I think this is a must have game for any race loving gamer. ## Frequently Bought Together - Need for Speed: The Run - Playstation 3 - Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection (Greatest Hits) - PlayStation 3 - Call of Duty: Ghosts - PlayStation 3 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2814834-need-for-speed-the-run-playstation-3](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2814834-need-for-speed-the-run-playstation-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
