Non biased review
I will review the game in a non biased way, but first lets get something out the way. All the negative reviews about this game are from fan boys crying 'Oh Undercover is not like Most Wanted'.....don't get me wrong, NFS Most Wanted was, and probably is, still the best NFS game, but I seriously don't get what people are complaining about. They said this about NFS Carbon as well. Carbon, and Undercover are almost identical to Most Wanted in terms of gameplay, so why such negative reviews? Sure, the main problem seems to be Carbon and Undercover are too short compared to Most Wanted but thats about it....doesn't mean they are bad games. The bad reviews about NFS Pro Street I can understand, as that game was a world away from Most Wanted and Carbon. Still it wasn't a bad game either once you got into it.
So, I love the NFS series as much as anyone, but I'm not gonna hate every game that comes before (or after) NFS greatest moment (Most Wanted). No point complaining all the time is there when the bottom line is Undercover is a decent game...so onto the review.
Ok the story goes you are an Undercover cop posing as a street racer to find out about car smuggling. It's pretty lame, but has a good twist at the end which will keep you playing.
Gameplay wise the game is fun to play. Lot's of races, and above all, the most fun thing - cop chases. Soo much fun, probably the best thing about the game. Nothing beats the feeling of smashing through a cop road block in slow motion...makes you feel like the best driver in the world.
So its a really fun game with lots of races and cop chases to keep you entertained. As I said before, if you enjoyed Most Wanted / Carbon you WILL find alot to like about this game.
One other thing I've heard about is that the game has a slow frame rate, atleast on the PS3 version. Well yes this is true but you get used to it, it's not unplayable.
Overall I enjoyed the game and I just don't think it deserves such negative reviews just because it's still not quite as good as Most Wanted was.
