Need for Speed: Undercover

doctobear's Need for Speed: Undercover (Xbox 360) review

A Good Cheap Racer

For a game that came out in 2008 its held up suprisingly well . Its a typical open world racer and seems to be a response to burnout paradise with some of the design choices they made . What sets this apart from the other racers at that time is the heat meter . Crimes varying from speeding to destroying state property build up your heat meter , and once that reaches a certain point the cops start hunting you down. By using a cop stopper ( i.e falling metal pipes and signs) you can lose the cop.My only complaint is theres no real challenge getting away from the cops . Simply paint your car a diffrent color and you lose heat.It doesnt seem like its to difficult if your manage your heat bar properly, the smooth driving controls allow you to escape quite easily .

The games great sense of speed especially once you get some of the higher end cars and slow motion ability will have you racing like a pro in no time

This game would be a defiant by in my books if you passed this up the first time around.

Just like Most Wanted the story is told via cut scenes feat...

Alright, so this is the latest installment in the long running EA series, Need for Speed. Many of the previous games were not as good as they should have been, and Undercover makes no attempt to break this mould. The game itself is quite entertaining, but it's nowhere near the standard that it should be. Here's why :Storyline : 3/5Alright, so the storyline wasn't expected to be good. Racing games normally don't need much of a story, so it's quite acceptable there. What isn't really acceptable is...
