Is NFS Undercover that bad??

I've played this game almost for 10 hour and think it's quite a good game that reminds me of NFS Most Wanted with some new adjusments

Yes, I admit it's very poorly optimized game (my PC can run FarCry 2 on high just fine) and it also has bad graphics but overall I think it has successfully returned to the former NFS formula that I like (better than ProStreet). But from intnet reviews, it got very bad reviews score from almost all of trusted sites. So, what's your opinion??

It feels rushed. This game has a fantastic driving model; weaving in and out of traffic and obstacles feels extremely fluid in this game and it is definitely the high point of the game. That being said, they forgot to make the rest of the game. The structure is a more or less a regression back to the first Need for Speed Underground. Exploration is useless as there is nothing to find, and the police are implemented very poorly in the game. When compared head-to-head with Most Wanted, Undercover is basically a step backwards in every department. It is a good transition title that gets the series back on the right track and I have pretty high hopes for the next game in the series, but it really falls short in a lot of different ways.DGFreak

Most Wanted is generally considered the last decent/best NFS title. Also NFS has always been about arcadish gameplay that was the fun thing about it.

About Undercover yes it is that bad. Graphics are poor yet runs like crap. Complete waste of open world setting. Everything about gameplay is just poor or not improved imo. EA just want a new title every year to make whatever money they can now and looks like they just don't care. So imo I no longer have any future hope for NFS. They seem to have a done cut and paste job from previous games with everything just worse off.
