Need for Speed: The Run's story-driven solo campaign can be completed in little over two hours, reviews have claimed.

US site Game Trailers is one such critic to point to the surprisingly short single-player length, but reassures fans "that may sound short but keep in mind that time doesn't include cut-scenes, retries or menus."

As one quick witted forum users pointed out, it doesn't include toilet breaks or meals either.

Need for Speed: The Run hits North American shops today, with the official UK release due this Friday, November 18.

Reviews have been mixed, with scores ranging fro 8.5's to much lowever 5/10's, although most seem to agree that The Run won't provide quite as many hours of entertainment as previous NFS games.

One aspect of the racer that does look to provide hours of entertainment is the excellent Challenge Series mode, which is a bit like Hot Pursuit with Frostbite visuals.

Seems after Most Wanted the series just wasnt the same

And why would i want to be watching cut-scenes in any racing game?

Except F-Zero GX, of course...

Just when everyone thought COD's record couldn't be broken....

Why would anybody play racing game for the story? Why is there even a story in a racing game? Is there anybody out there that anticipates a campaign in racing game?

Played the demo, don't really see the appeal. The handling of the cars was awful, it was incredibly easy in parts and a bit unforgiving in others. Physics didn't seem to exist, giant blocks of ice bounced off the car like they were made out of rubber, and the graphics were a bit patchy.

5-10 minutes with it was enough, let alone 2 hours.

Yeah!  Fuck EA!!  We'll teach them to take screw Forza fans! Let's buy Mario Kart for the 3DS instead!!

I'll edit my post, Rol!! I wasn't thinking clearly!!

Wow, they did put a lot of effort into this one.

who buys Need for Speed for singleplayer anyway?
