Need for control

Apparently EA thought at the port of the game, "XBox and Windows both come from Microsoft, because you can save a port for keyboard and gamepad". Otherwise I can not explain why the game (which is delivered without manual) strictly relies on an Xbox controller to me. The sprightly key rates to the players apparently preparing additional fun - as a little tip: The key symbols on the screen have nothing, absolutely nothing to do with what you have to press (the correct keys are trade secret of EA, which is why I here not allowed to call).

Even with the automatic (gears) is EA new ways - would be boring if it would turn as usual always automatically up and down. Instead, the gears always remains in the same gear - no matter what happens. Even against the many players repeatedly degenerating frenzy EA has done something: no matter what you do, even if you are driving your car down is NEVER, NEVER really go faster than 170.
Need for Speed ​​The Run follows the motto "foot off the gas - the environment's sake". Therefore, those who dare, in the 5th gear to switch constantly punished by decreasing pace.
And all the prior high speeds must be afraid to make here no more worries: With an acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 55 seconds is plenty of time to get used to the "breathtaking" pace.

And who will sooner never mitbekam because of high speeds some of the beautiful scenery to be overjoyed with this game: even if on the odometer 176 (! My record) is, do you think you were having 20 by 30-zone chug. This also explains why you overtake other drivers immediately and disappear, never to return in the distance. So you spend more than enough time to see your surroundings exactly.

CONCLUSION:
Apparently EA wanted to reach even the pre-Christmas period with the game necessarily - otherwise I can not understand why you really bring me a nonfunctional game in circulation. EA shows the PC gamers that you are worth even less than the company, for example, Ubisoft, where you have to wait half a year (but then does the game at least). The game is not just Schei ** e, it is 17.7 GB dirt on 2 DVD's. One would like to apprentice who has ported the game in person behind the 'Car herschleifen - and certainly not with 20 but with real 170 km / h (that was a joke - even if the game is incredibly bad I would never do that in life and recommend anyone really).

For me, it is especially sad, because I have long been looking forward to the new NFS and my sister gave it to me in the belief that she would give me so a few hours of gameplay prepare - well nix wars.

NOTE:
I've read some other reviews and know that the game super doing some - I say only what I on my system (Windows 7 64-bit SP1, AMD Athlon II X4 645, ATI Radeon HD 4870, ASRock 890FX have unfortunately experienced Deluxe5 and Strike FX gamepad).

--- UPDATE: 17.02.2012 -----------------

So, have the game now starts after nearly 2 months in mothballs again. And - what a surprise IT WORKS !!!!
Whether this is now on the patch from EA or my new Win 7 Professional I do not know, but I'm glad that I can play at least times that now.
I can finally keep up with the others, but there is still a huge gap between the state of the speedometer and the perceived speed. The Nitro could more durable, the race more exciting and to be the smarter AI ...
And only that it does now, does not mean that the controller does jetz, does not mean that it is good, no, the cars drive but very imprecise and vague.

CONCLUSION:
Despite Patch: Need for Speed ​​The worst thing of all time.
