Need for Speed: The Run, but good. Give me an uninterrupted race accoss the US (or any other continent), against 199 other drivers, with strategic decisions to make such as fuel stops, sleep breaks, multiple paths... Make it a rogue lite with unlockable vehicle classes, police chases, weather changes, racing through traffic... Bonus points for realistic physics and VR support.
Some NFS game are straight up terrible (Undercover...), but at least the good ones with similar gameplay (NFSU2, Carbon) still exist. But The Run was worse than bad; it was disappointing. It could have been good, but wasn't, and they never tried to make another one with a similar premise.
The only good part of the game is the bonus mission in Carbon Canyon, in all its HD glory.
What about the avalanche mission? Did you find that too Micheal Bay movie-like?
I don't remember it. I don't think I played this game a lot.

Honestly I loved The Run. It was a jam packed unique short game experience. It was definitely too short for it's price, but you know at that time Blackbox was working on 3 separate games.
