A solid racing game that is totally different from last year's installment.
The storyline in this game is interesting. You go undercover to bring down those top car gangs in the city. You will be accompanied and instructed by the hot Maggie Q. There are plenty and plenty of races and those races are easy. By the time you finish half the game, you will have enough money to buy some awesome cars. And you will probably buy all of your favourite cars by the time your career completion reachers 100%. I had bought Lamborghini Gallardo, Lamborghini Murcielago, Chevrolet Corvette, Mclaren F1 and Pagani Zonda by the time i completed the game. Graphics in the game are a bit down. Car models don't look that great. Framerate tends to drop a bit. The soundtrack is also not that great as there are little songs. But most probably, you wont think about that as you will be busy escaping cops in the game. The environment is detailed in the game. Its like a real life city although there aren't any pedestrians in the game. Cutscenes are delivered well in the game. The actors did a great job in acting out their roles. There have been some complaints about not being able to drive to the event races. Instead, you will have to launch the race from the in-game map. I think what EA did was right as it would be really tiresome to drive to all the events in the game as there are so many races. It is great to explore the whole city. You can use your favourite car and zoom through the streets but watch out for your heat level. Maintain the heat level as if it is too high, cops will come after you.
NFS:Undercover is a solid game that will most probably be bought by every racing fan and non-racing fans. It is a great game. Although hardcore games will be pissed off by the difficulty level, it is still a great game and is a great start-off for new racing fans to try out their racing skills. For those who want a challenge in a racing game, I suggest go get Midnight Club: Los Angeles instead as that is a really difficult game.
