1 out of 5 stars This game was so disappointing !!! EA, Shame on You !   September 6, 2010
Georgia A. Adams (Portland Oregon)
This is the first review I have written for a video Game. I really wanted to like this game, but it was a total disappointment ! I have alot of experience
playing video games, my favs are all the Sims games. I like car racing games so
I thought that this would be fun. I bought it as a download from the EA store.I have downloaded many a Sims game to my computer without a problem. This game was a total nightmare. The technical Issues are so numerous,the game is choppy and freezes all the time. There is no main menu at the beginning of the game, as in most videos. No tutorials to show you how to play the game. The graphics could be better, like the Sims. In this downloaded version all you do is race, smash things, and police chases. This was fun, but there was no plot to the story ! The color could be alot better. Also it would be more fun if they had put the game in sections ie. Beginner,Intermediate, and Advanced. I felt that EA let people down, and put out a very inferior product. They need to work on a much better version. IMHO they need to make it more structured and user friendly like the Sims. I would think that a company would always want to put out a excellent product. Now I wonder if something was wrong with the download.
I have other games on my computer that I have downloaded, and they work fine
like the Bejewled Blitz, now that's a really good game. I will be calling EA
customer service and complaining loudly. I wouldn't recommend buying this game.
Doesn't EA play these games extensively, or have game testers play ? It's like they threw this game together, not very professional.

I have only played through the first 10 or so races, so view my response as such.

Firstly, the wait times in this game kill me. I spend more time loading than I spend driving. At least it feels that way. Same thing within the maps too and my HD 4870 is supposed to be reasonably high end.

Two days before I installed Undercover I was playing through Underground 2. Honestly, I miss it. There were no loading times, just like there weren't in Most Wanted or ProStreet.

The levelling system annoys me. You get 1% here, 1% there, and you don't even get to pick where it goes.

I would have also liked some more appealing choices for my first new car. I went with the Lotus because it appeared to have the best stats. I would have taken dozens of other "entry level" cars over it. Civic, " SI, RSX, Tiburon, etc. I guess I was hoping for more imports and less Fords/Chevys.

I will probably play through the whole game (unlike ProStreet and Flatout).

I rate it average at best.


4 out of 5 stars NFS: Undercover rreviewed   August 27, 2010

I have enjoyed the Need For Speed games for many years and this game has lived up to the Need For Speed name. The game play is fast paced and the added driving skills make the game play new. The game as a whole is done well and is worth the price for the amount of game play that can be had. The save feature makes this a pick up and play in short spurt's or a hard core long term play, which ever you are in the mood for. I would recomend this game for anyone that is a fan of the Need For Speed games and wants to play in a new city with the free roam style.


5 out of 5 stars Cool Game for the price.   August 19, 2010
Ben Einolf (MD, U.S.)
I love this need for speed. It has some fun modes. I really love the cars. It's easy to earn them and race a ton of real road tracks. You can earn money very easily from the career modes. And id love to play cops and robbers with more friends. I'd definitely recommend the game to a friend.


2 out of 5 stars What a letdown!   August 18, 2010
Future_cpa1
I am going to rip NFS:Undercover for PS 2 a new Arse, so be prepared! I am only 35% + percent way done with the game so keep that in mind. If you are coming from NFS: Most Wanted, you are going to be sorely disappointed. here are the pros and cons of this game for this console:

Pros: Lots o' muscle cars! I love em, you love em, nuff said.
Cash is very easy to get, seems to give more per race than before
The Highway System is expanded
The "Camera System" used when your backing up is brand new and I
actually love using it now, its beautiful! Its kind of like a
reverse camera angle so you can see your car from the front.
For some reason, every NFS game I get, I always find some Great songs
on the soundtrack, and this one is no exception!

Cons: The high speed chases are glitchy and disjointed visually
The Safehouse graphics are the worst I have seen in all PS 2 NFS games!!
Dont bother with the new Patented AutoSculpt feature b/c the
graphics
when looking at any car in the Safehouse are so bad, you cant see
most of it, or the car for that matter! NFS Most Wanted had
beautiful sunlight/light movement and shading for its cars,
it is completely gone here.
NFS Underground had 3 "Upgrade Sets" you could get for each performance
section. They put it in this game, and it is all you can upgrade
your car with performance wise.
Every race I have seen so far (except Stolen Car races- where your
instantly put in a stolen car to outrun the cops and get to the
destination without damaging the car too much) all have strictly
muscle cars racing.
This game reminds me of a "muscle car" take on NFS Most Wanted with
some hints/cues from Fast & Furious 2 in it (ex: the first two
muscle cars for sale are a Challenger and a Camaro.. a little
Ironic)
The lower/downtown streets of the city are completely gone! The only
downtown street left in the entire tri cities area is a city -long
back trashy allyway you can drive. everything else is Highway
Driving. Dont expect to see any normal city streets.
All Car Lots/Safehouses/Upgrade shops in NFS Most Wanted are gone. You
do all that in the Safehouse. No where else.
The graphic designs of the cars both you can buy and in the city itself
are extremely poor quality
They put way too many Video clips in the game/ even though the woman
they used is HOT HOT and they show teaser pics of her in her shorts
The color schemes for your cars are a lot more limited now. They give
you the basic pallet of 15 colors and of each one there are just
a bunch of shades of it.
If your coming to this game from NFS Most Wanted or Underground series,
be prepared for a very easy, linear game. Of all the races I have
done so far (35+), I have only lost one on my first try. Plus, after
every race, you just click two buttons and jump to the next race.
There is nothing in the middle, no depth or real design here. You
can go into Free Roam, but with only a highway system to roam, there
is not much point/gets very boring quickly.
If you hit a cop car, usually it will fly off like paper in the wind and
disappear as if it never existed/ those chasing you fly around you
like they are psychotic and a cop car could never actually move
like. Their movement and behavior in this game is very peculiar and
strange now. Oh by the way, no more spike strips. Just cop cars that
fly off a hundred miles away never to be seen again. I am serious.
Really, I am serious.

I hope NFS Carbon is a lot better than this. If anything we can revel in the NFS muscle car version of Fast and Furious 2 and all its glory. It was one of the best in the series In My Opinion! But be forwarned!
