Need for Speed: Undercover

spidy333's Need for Speed: Undercover (PC) review

Oh c'mon.. Another failed NFS game.

 After finding that EA wanted to go after the more successful formula of Most Wanted, I was more than elated that one of my favorite franchise is getting life back again. Now after I played the game I feel that I am extremely wrong.

To say it in one line undercover is most wanted done bad.. incredibly bad. The tab button mechanic is the worst in the game. There are no specific points where you can start a race instead there are some vague points where you can press tab to start mission. And this is the most irritating part of the game. And the cops are also not as good as most wanted. The game also has its merits like highway battle and outrun are the two most exciting things they put in this version.

My only hope is that EA will stop making a NFS game every year just to get some money. Overall pick this game if you are die hard fan of NFS franchise.

Much like the now defunct Tony Ha...

I had high hopes for NFS: Undercover. Unfortunately I was very disappointed. I felt that the series kept going down starting with Carbon. The NFS series returning to its roots with this game is kind of an overstatement. For anyone who has played NFS: Most Wanted, this will definitely remind you of it. But the more you play it, the more it feels like a poor man's Most Wanted. It feels rushed and incomplete. Rushed in the sense that there is no overall map despite the small map circle. It's not ea...
