Rating Summary
Need for Speed The Run is rated E10+ for Everyone 10+ by the ESRB with Animated Blood, Mild Suggestive Themes, and Violence. This is an arcade-style racing game in which players compete in a coast-to-coast event across North America. As they speed through U.S. cities and perform various stunts (e.g., jumping off ramps, driving into oncoming traffic, slipstreaming), players are sometimes rewarded for forcing other vehicles—including police cruisers—to crash. Collisions are sometimes accompanied by slow-motion effects; vehicle damage is indicated by crashing sounds, cracked windshields, and/or flying debris. During some races, players must avoid gunfire from police helicopters above. In one still-frame panel, splotches of blood are depicted on a character's wrists. During the course of the game, some female characters are dressed in low-cut tops that display moderate amounts of cleavage.
