As would be the graphics, while on the Frostbite Engine 2 (Battlefield 3) is based, but never ever can demonstrate their skills or allowed. Not really ugly, thanks to some coherent moments sometimes even despite stale textures really pretty, but for the most part looks Run like its predecessors Undercover or Carbon - because I expected more, but okay.
Real bad it gets from the loading times, since you also when reloading a checkpoint they have to endure. Annoying: crashes you, it is also automatically return to the last checkpoint and again I was also restored, only because I left the Sraße side - no accident, just out soft edges only to the opponents or oncoming traffic. Especially stupid: your opponents ram you with fondness of the slopes and the oncoming traffic is indeed total sparsely found, but placed in 8 of 10 cases, just behind the non-accessible summit or curve. Funnily enough, the police behave the other way around, because the attempts to avoid any contact. So I'm less than 2 km (according to display in the game) raced next to a police car, without that he has me even angezwinckert. In addition, you can still drive a race so perfect, an error at the end cost you thanks to rubber band AI victory - and therefore the next round, because almost always it is necessary to pass a certain number of riders before reaching the finish line. Who less obsolete one, must again ran from the front and more the way you can not overtake. It is therefore necessary to be first and to roll up the whole field from behind in every race. Every now and then you drive though only against the clock, but because the claim is caught by the tiefergelegteste car. Which brings us to the main problem would already acuh: I completed 40 minutes time account and approximately one third of the entire route - ie it expects high. Sure cutscenes and one or the other repeating a stage blow on the experience in 3 or 4 hours, but then you're on normal safely and completely even enough, the story is indeed meant nice, but extremely poorly told and implemented. Only the Quick Time Events are great staged and are after all in the approach claim a cinematic staging justice - but unfortunately hammering you doing just how stupid the Tatsten until the fingers Schwerzen.
Conclusion: EA Black Box received after undercover debacle a second chance and even a year longer and make of it a lot of noise in advance (Story, Frostbite Engine, staging widened touted) a eschreckend short and surprisingly unspannendes game. Certainly not a total loss, and two undercover bumper lengths properly - but still disappointing. Who wants arcade racing game, should pick up the best in every respect Hot Pursuit, which also costs much less)
