ASSASSIN’S CREED: REVELATIONS
The signature gameplay is still just as enjoyable, so the aforementioned missteps could have been forgiven had the conclusion to the game’s plot been worth the journey. Sadly, it isn’t. So while the hardcore fans will derive some enjoyment out of Revelations, the rest of us will have to wait another year in hope of the next big Assassin’s Creed title.

The Run sees the return of Need for Speed’s action racing brand of gameplay that made Most Wanted a fan favourite. As before, you have a nonsensical story to go along with. This time, you’re participating in an illegal race across the US as you chase big money and evade the mob who want you dead. The game plays out like a Gumball 3000 of sorts, starting in San Francisco and ending in New York while passing through a diverse array of landscapes along the way.
A cross-country race is a good premise for a racing game because no two events look the same. You’re constantly passing through new locales varying from country roads and snow-covered mountains to expressways and city streets. Aside from these varied locales, however, The Run disappoints thanks to some strange design decisions. Its checkpoint system takes you to a previous point in the race when you crash, rather than letting you rewind. The game only lets you switch cars during races or at predetermined locations. Cars often feel heavy and unresponsive, and performing a handbrake turn is a nightmare.
Many will enjoy this cross-country romp, but for those expecting a game to top last year’s Hot Pursuit, this isn’t it.
