Demo Features and Gameplay
In the demo, players will get to choose between two high-performance cars: the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S and the Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni. However, there’s a catch—the Porsche will only be available if the player refers a friend to download the demo. This referral system adds a social element to the demo, encouraging players to share their excitement with friends.
The demo will give players a taste of the high-octane action and stunning visuals that Need for Speed: The Run promises. Players will experience a variety of racing environments, from urban streets to winding mountain roads. The game utilizes the Frostbite 2 engine, which is known for its impressive graphics and realistic physics, ensuring that every race feels immersive and thrilling.

Need for Speed: The Run will be launching on November 18th, 2011, and is currently available for pre-order. The full game promises an expansive single-player campaign that takes players on a cross-country race from San Francisco to New York. Unlike previous titles in the series, The Run incorporates a narrative-driven experience, adding depth to the racing action.
In addition to the single-player campaign, the game will feature a robust multiplayer mode, allowing players to compete against each other in various race types and challenges. The multiplayer mode will include leaderboards, ensuring that players can track their progress and compete for the top spot.
The game also introduces new gameplay mechanics, such as quick-time events and on-foot sequences, adding variety to the traditional racing formula. These elements are designed to keep players engaged and provide a more dynamic gaming experience.
For those who pre-order the game, there are additional bonuses available, such as exclusive cars and early access to certain game features. These incentives make pre-ordering an attractive option for fans of the series who want to get the most out of their gaming experience.
