Well We thought it would be a different NFS game but Unfortunately it's the same, TERRIBLE.......

User Rating: 4 | Need for Speed: Undercover PC
NFS franchise is one of the most famous racing franchises but with time it lost it's fame, With every other sequel in the franchise the developers hope to re-achieve the glory of the old days but are never successful. After the super hit NFS MW, None of future sequels (including Carbon and Prostreet) got great reviews from critics and so in the hope of making days better EA came up with NFS Undercover in 2008. Well you wouldn't love to hear this but this game is no different at all actually it's even worse.

PROS = Car Models look Beautiful, The Soundtrack is Good, The sounds of Engines and Tires Screeching is believable, Car Customization has plenty of options.

CONS = Gets Highly Repetitive, Starts Easy but Later gets Impossibly Hard, Frame Rate is Horrible even on Next Gen Gaming PCs, Horrible Voice Acting, Cutscenes are awful, The City looks lifeless and Bland, Lots of Bugs including hidden walls, Cars Handle Terribly and feel like Toys and Physics is terrible, Your opponents always have a better car then you later in the game.

FINAL WORDS = Truly If you ask me to write what's Bad in this game, I can fill pages upon pages and still all problems wouldn't be covered but I guess I'll go with good parts first, Game is quite fun at beginning because there are some new type of races and the AI is very forgiving at start, Game still looks bad but is fun. The Cars look beautiful, The Soundtrack is good, The sounds of engine, Tires, Supercharger e.t.c are believable and Car Customization hasn't improved a lot as compared to it's predecessors but still has a lot of depth and options.

Now I guess this is it for the good part, Let's begin with the bad. The first moment you look at NFS Undercover, You'll know that it's stripped and the city looks bland and awful. The Voice acting is horrible and sometimes it looks like you are watching very low budget movie with Noob actors.

The game may provide you some fun at start but once a few minutes into the game, You'll realize the flaws. First the city is dead, Yes it has no sign of Living,Secondly the motion blur is used a lot, Even if you stand still without moving your car, Motion Blur is on, This is done in effort to hide the terrible graphics, AI is super hard, Even if you have the fastest car in the game and you crash for 3 seconds, Your opponents will win or You'll be at the Top Speed on the fastest car in the game and your opponents will easily outrun you, Your opponents cars are always faster then you although you wouldn't notice punishing AI early in game.

There are hidden walls everywhere means your car will stuck or crash near the boundaries on the straight road. The city is linear, This means no sense of free roaming, It's competitors Midnight Club LA and Burnout Paradise have already done million times better then this game in terms of free roaming, Both of these games were released before Undercover, So it's definitely a shame that Creators of Undercover came up with such a linear game in which there are straight tracks and few shortcuts. Now don't start me on thew cops, The cops are punishingly hard later in the game, Even if you have the fastest car in the game Level 1 Cops will easily outrun you with no problem at all, Except for that your car will occasionally stuck in Pursuit Breakers and thus the cops will catch you means there are spots in the game where you have to hit your car so things from the environment fall on the cops and destroy their cars, So you can run but the problem is that if you hit those spots occasionally your car will stuck in rumble and in mean time more cop cars will arrive and arrest you.

The Car physics is unbelievable and cars handle unrealistically, You can make a turn on speed of 400 without loosing any speed at all, The cars movement never makes them look believable and it always feel like you are driving a toy instead of a real car.

Still it's not over, I've saved the best one for the last, The frame rate issues, I've a great PC on which I run games like COD MW 2, Protoype and GTA IV with 60+ frames on higher graphic settings but in this game my frame rate never goes above 25 and is varying between 15 to 25, So it's almost impossible to play the game at times, The roads disappear, The buildings disappear and the beautiful loading comes, Which is one of the most annoying and terrible thing about the game.

RECOMMENDATION = I don't think I need to say more, This is a horrible game, Save yourself from this nightmare and go play Midnight Club LA or Burnout Paradise instead, I repeat it again DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.
