Is this game better than Need For Speed Most Wanted? As in if this game was released alongside MW same day (as competitors if you will) would it be a better game? Eg. Forza 2 would be considered better than Forza, however NFSHP2 would be considered (arguably) better than Underground 2, and Carbon would be better than Prostreet, Goldeneye N64>Nightfire, etc. If I had never played either of these games which would I honestly be better of getting REGARDLESS of price. Let's I want to buy one of these Need for Speed Games and have it still spinning in the disc tray in a few months. Which is just genuinely a better game?

I have played through Most Wanted and LOVED, bought it for PS2 and later 360, and played campaign through roughly 5 times, Ive replayed the last chase like 20 times (left it saved on the chase, turned autosave off), and have invested at least 4 months (up to a year) of my game time in each of the NFS games since Road & Track Presents The Need for Speed (1994). This is the only NFS game I have never touched. I am not, however a fanboy, as I LOVE every Midnight Club game as well as enjoying TDU and PGR3-4. I was disappointed with Carbon and very let down by ProStreet as soon as I heard of the entire concept of the game back in early 07.

So of MW and UC, which is seirously a better game compared raw and side by side, with no leniency or preference given to either game for comparative originality, different release date, etc. Imagine they both came out.. today!

Doesn't matter, this one beats them all.

I haven't gotten to play Undercover yet, but I will sometime this or next week in-between playing Prince of Persia.

Okay guys I get it Im all nostalgic about NFSIII I own 2 copies and played the Career through many times, hell I have it on 4 different computers, one of which is dead, and the soundtrack is on my iPod.

But if it was released TODAY it would be the joke of the year. NFSMW in that sense can be said is better with better track design, selection of cars, gameplay, graphics, etc. In the same spirit, is Undercover better than MW, nostalgia aside?

got to say this game is worth every penny whhen i bought it. still havent yet finshed the career and still im have the time of my lyf playing everyday.. im compketing all the evnts to make thing more fun.

I just wanted to say that I just recently started playing this game alot and in its post "patched a couple times" state its actually pretty great.  I think this is my new game with a really low aggregate review score that I find to be excellent.
