I guess its time for the NFS series to RIP

When I first started playing Pro-Street, I was totally horrified! Then came the news of Undercover. NFS fans (like me) waited for something fresh (and actually fresh) but not as fresh as the freshness that was been given to pro-street.

Finally when I got hold of the game, I thought of getting back the true play of nfs. But alas!!! It did not!!!

Well I have to agree that its better than pro-street but its just not upto the mark. Yes, GRID and nfs are of different types of racing game so am not comparing one with the other. But its like, something is missing in undercover. You just roam around, press tab to race, short cinematic and roam freely. Oh yes, saving you and your car's ass from the cops.

But the main draw back is the technical issues. My gig comes with:
Core 2 Duo E6600
2gig RAM @ 800
NVIDIA 8800GT 256mb

This baby ran crysis @ maxout (except the shadow and blur) and now am playing Tomb Raider Underworld @ maxout (except few very high stuffs which are the foods for cards like 260). But the funny fact (or perhaps the weird fact) is that .... NFS UNDERCOVER performance is WORSE!!! Frame rates continuously breaks even if I turn off shadows and world effects!!! Now I few people claim that they did not have the problem and maybe WE are having problem for our specs. TO THEM: I dont think my requirement is WEAK! Now dont tell me that NFS needs a better pc than crysis does!!! And even if it does, am ready to throw away NFS and keep my gig :) So this MUST be some technical issues and nothing related to SYSTEM REQUIREMENT!!! And maybe you people just got lucky :)

I have no other problem other than this frame rate thing. Graphics is pretty good. But the sound tracks are also not upto the mark. And I expected better car girls than the ones in it ;)
