Need for Speed: Undercover

« NFS Undercover is a return to form for this long running racer series, the inclusion of the cops really puts pressure on your racing and with the addition of the usual upgrade and tuning options it helps to make this a top arcade racer. »

« Moving away from the track and back onto the roads may have returned Need for Speed to where it belongs, but things aren’t perfect yet. »

« While Need for Speed Undercover delivers in the areas of cinematic production, audio, visuals and through its sweet vehicle roster, it falls a bit short in the realm of top-tier, arcade-quality handling models. »

« While the gameplay feels simple and easy to interact with, there’s plenty of options and a decent array of customisation for your vehicles. A combination of arcade fun gameplay and a massive playground of a city to do it in should have you entertained for weeks. »

« Need for Speed Undercover is the best NFS game since Most Wanted but there are still a few more areas which need to be improved before we call Undercover the Need for Speed champ. »

« Adventure or racing? Definitely racing! The cut scenes are not suspenseful enough for an adventure. But I like Tri-City with its varied missions and the intuitive controls. Unfortunately the game sometimes drops to a low frame rate. »

« Nearly a return to form, but the new 'grown up' attitude takes away more than it gives. [Christmas 2008, p.62] »

« The police chases are fantastic, but the plot's bad and the gameplay is confined to an area that's much smaller than it seems like it should be. »

« I have played many racing games, and this is my favorite, it has a good story and characters, many options for cars to choose and cool maps, many people hate this game because it is not the same as NFS Most wanted or NFS Underground and expect everything to be perfect. MY SCORE (10/10) »

« The game is actually pretty good, the gameplay is great! quite fun to play! but, the game's story and characters don't captivate nor stand out as such, missing EA TRAX really made me sad. But racing has a very arcade-like style, the race has to be perfect or you can't win. »

« Need for Speed: Undercover is a mess. It could have been great, if only the graphics, physics, and story had been fixed. And that's pretty much everything. So that's it. This is Need for Speed: Undercover. One of Underappreciated racing games. A source of Nostalgia, and one thing that should , be re-visited Despite all issues that have . »

« Honestly, I was reviewing the PSP version, but I clicked on the score and then selected the version. Now metacritic won't let me delete my rating for the Xbox version. This doesn't make sense, fix this metacritc, allow us to remove the rating and not just the review. »

« so bad that its good still better than payback and most wanted psp lmaooooooooo »

« Need for Speed Undercover is a big step backwards for the series. It's almost as if the franchise has the same disease as FIFA had a couple of years ago. EA promises a lot new features but in the end there just isn't enough to justify a new game. Thankfully the FIFA-syndrom offers perspective, because after a few mishaps the franchise has produced an instant classic. That's why we keep hope for a worthy Need for Speed game in the near future »

« Much better than Carbon and it brought a Most Wanted/Hot Pursuit aspect to it. »
