Need for Speed: The Run is the eighteenth installment in the Need for Speed series. Street racing takes place in real-world venues around the United States. It has almost 300 kilometers (190 miles) of road, three times larger than Hot Pursuit, making it the most considerable Need for Speed game ever released. To win most event types, the player must overcome opponents. There are additional time attack and survivor games in which players must avoid having their vehicles destroyed while under assault. Cars are classified into tiers based on their performance. During a race, the player may stop at a petrol station to change their car and make graphic changes. Unlike previous Need for Speed games, The Run has portions when the player exits their car and walks. In these parts, the gameplay is limited to quick-time events.
