A lot of things are wrong with Criterion.

- They lie all the time. Was Hot Pursuit a good game? No. The game was terrible in so many ways and regardless of that, both Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted won numerous awards at trade shows for some strange reasons. Hot Pursuit was a shallow, uninteresting game.
- Hot Pursuit single player was meaningless. There is no purpose at all and there arent even a quick race mode to setup your own races.
- Multiplayer was equally bad. Lack of depth and car balancing is just terrible.
- PC support is non-existent with ATi card performance issue still persist today.
- Expensive cars DLCs like 9.99USD for a handful of cars, while PC do not get any DLCs at all.
- Cars handles like tanks on rails and i am not expecting realistic rFactor styled physics. Just something that is fun to drive, but the physics just get in the way of the fun.
- Exclusive cars like Cayman and a couple for 360. Why cant the PC and PS3 players get the same content that they have paid? We all paid 60USD for the rubbish game.

The Run is another piece of shit. To be honest, NFS franchise died after Shift 2 released. At least SMS knows how to make a decent racing game that is fun to drive, despite its all only closed track.

Criterion thinks they are good, but the truth is, they are just terrible at making decent games.
