But before the fun can develop at all it is nipped in the bud. Which? By the miserable rubber band effect. No matter how good / perfect to drive and how much lead you out goes to .... close to our goal, the opponent as if by magic come attached roars from behind make life difficult and secure 1st place is at risk. All the more annoying because you have to be 1 in order to advance in the game.
A rubber band effect has simply nothing to look for in a racing game these days, and certainly not in its extreme form as here in NFS the Run. Even if one absolutely perfect driving a race, the opponent is allowed to stand, and they are already out of sight seconds later still is the rubber band effect ensure that they are back at eye level in front of goal. As one might but from the outset will save the entire route and only drive the last 500 meters in every race.
Sorry ... but something leaves me totally the fun ..
