This is a great version for the 3ds...a nice change from the karting games you only seem to get on this console. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by A***T on 18 August 2017* Quick delivery and my son is in awe with it,did not put it down for few days. ### ⭐⭐⭐ beware of the guy in front of you, literally *by C***R on 11 March 2012* These days, with family commitments and what not, playing my 3ds on my daily commute is about the only game time I get. NFS The Run gave me an opportunity to get my racing fix for this trip, and it does that pretty well. Now just to be sure, I'm just looking for an arcade-style racer than is fun - I'm not interested in realism, in tinkering with my cars or having some kind of "career" mode. For this, NFSTR delivers. Worst thing first: the story mode's mini games are really annoying - when commuting, it is hugely inconvenient to have your stylus at hand, and using your finger on the 3DS's touch screen is just tedious. Some of the mini-games are really brain-numbing as well - like smashing the same spot on the screen in order to break a window, or moving your 2D car along the roads to get petrol. Really, they should not have bothered - it adds nothing to the experience at all. The first few times the camera swings around to show your "Take Down" are really cool, but gets annoying too later on. There should've been an option to turn this feature off, as I found that the camera move make me lose control of the car, often resulting in a minor bump against the railing or some other less than efficient result. Also, taken down cops are replaced immediately, so going through the effort to bump one off is pointless, as he will be instantly replaced by another. It is better to just try and avoid them altogether. On the other hand, the actual racing is fun and immersive. The framerate is great most of the time (gets a bit jittery when there are many cars on the road, like when 7 cops are tailing you). The tracks are great if you like the idea of inter-city highway racing, but offer very little in terms of tricky corners and challenging narrow roads. Drifting is possible and fun, but does not seem as crucial to the game play as in Ridge Racer. Overall though, once you are through the story and just doing the challenges, the real fun begins. More than once I have kicked my legs out when chasing down a time point or speed camera, I think there are some fellow-commuters that are cursing their decision to sit opposite me (I really am sorry!). Points are deducted for the lame story mode and silly mini-games, as well as the lack of more intense, drift mad arcade-style tracks like Ridge Racer. 3.5 stars. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/64688200-need-for-speed-the-run-nintendo-3ds](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/64688200-need-for-speed-the-run-nintendo-3ds) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
