High-Adrenalined Previews

Need For Speed: The Run Trailer is Packed with Serious Action

— November 11, 2011 — Tech
One of the most highly anticipated racing video game franchises will be making a return, marking the event with the action-packed Need For Speed: The Run trailer.

The new Need For Speed game involves a protagonist owing a large sum of money that he can only pay by participating in an illegal race. So it’s basically Fast and the Furious for games, minus Vin Diesel and the gang. With racing, running from the mob and cops, it was only fitting that Michael Bay was chosen as the director for this clip. In true Bay fashion, the Need For Speed: The Run trailer is packed with girls, action, explosions and of course, a whole lot of cars.

Need For Speed: The Run is set to be released in North America on November 15, 2011 and November 18, 2011 in Europe.
