Need For Speed Undercover

[xu^]

pld it a bit and not impressed at all tbh ,as already mentioned even with AA it still looks a bit rough and the shadows look terrible to me and im not fussy,the sound is also rather weird ,seems rather quiet and dull sounding if you know what i mean.

i used to look forward to a new NFS game ,but for the last 3 outings ive been completely underwhelmed ,Carbon,Pro Street and now Undercover.

I liked Pro Street alot because of their attempt at realism. I loved the engine sounds, the turbo wistle and even the supercharger whine. Its also very cool how the sound changes with each mod you do on the engine.

The handeling was still a bit too arcade for me, i really like realistic racing games. If they could get something like "live for speed type of handeling" that would be awesome!

I found that NFSU2 was the best between the lot for me. I want to do some burnouts and donuts with ease...and most of the time the car just bogs down when I want to rev it...damn

I'm really hoping this one is good, but it would seem not...

I picked the lotus elise too,fantastic british car,the rest of the first choice cars are junk.

I have it maxxed out on mine,and i think it looks ok,no lag or skipping,it runs sweet.

I pick lotus elise too but now I'm on RX-7. I hated the handling and AA is not working but overall its fine.

LOL look at the engine it's like a slap-on sticker :shadedshu

LOL that's why you turn off damage in EA games You also noticed that the wheels don't have any back to them? Flip a car over and watch for yourself.

I currently own the Elise, an Evo X and an Audi TT

Currently, I cant talk bout the visuals but the gameplay is great! C'mon 3870 get back to me fast!

PS: Just started and chose the Elise.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Ooo, did they bring back the Rapsheet? That's what made Most Wanted great (make Cross look like a fool).

 

[HookeyStreet]

I cant comment on the PC version, but Im loving the 360 version. It has great visuals, sound and gameplay............far superior to ProStreet

Im currently using the Lambo Gallardo (suped up to the bollox!) But I want that Veyron

Undercover is a true sequel to 'Most Wanted' IMHO.

PS: my WheelMan level is 13

Thanks hookey. Make me want to play it even more, not as fun without higher res.

WTF headlight on RX-7

To those who own this game, is it an improvement over Pro Street because I didn't like it but I loved Carbon (I beat it on 360).

On a scale of 1-10 (1 being Pro Street) Undercover is definately a 9.

Most Wanted, Carbon and Undercover are all in a different league compared to the pathetic ProStreet!

 

[RadeonX2]

prostreet was totally out of place
I'm glad NFS are back in action and even more intense.

I dunno, I just beat the game its like 2:30am, ah geez,

hmmm started with 240sx, picked up the lotus, then got a charger I think from pink slip, bought the porsche GT2, then sold it, I remember getting a supra from a pink slip, then I sold the porsche and bought the murcialago, and then I'm pretty sure I got a Gallardo from pink slip.

all in all I am pretty sure it deserves a 6 and at best a 7, no way should it get anything higher, this makes NFS:MW look like a total fluke when it comes to EA putting out a good NFS title. Okay done bashing it, just wanted to ask when you get to G-mac he says they have to steal 6-cars in 48 hours, but I only got 4 jobs???? I dunno, just wanted to dbl chk, also anyone else like the ending at all? I personally thought EA could do better but just wondering.

Yes, he say 6, but I got only 4 jobs too

Bugatti Veyron FTW! turning shadows off gives me an additional 25-30 FPS

AMD CPU's get pwn in this game so badly, it almost like a conspiracy...

 

[Darknova]

Honestly, I keep going back to the Elise. The thing's a f***ing bullet. I've got the Elise with full Pro upgrades, and the only car that's quicker that I own so far, is the BMW M3 E46.

The Evo X, Camaro Concept, TT, all slower than the Elise.

 

[LittleLizard]

thing is this, EA broke the first rule of all the decent racing games. They DID THE GAME AROUND A HISTORY. I have been always a fan of NFS since THE NEED FOR SPEED and now they are just messing up. The should take the example of GRID "Its all about the race"

Racing games are for racing not for stop smuggling operations and all that crap. They should spent all the money they spent on maggie q and that bunch of bad actors into making a good engine and a good game

Yes the elise is a bullet, it has monster accel for a tier 4 car, outbeside the 2 american ones. It can throw down with almost every car except for the high end tier 2 cars, porsche, bmw, even slugs it out with the audi's. It gets smoked by tier 1s on highway battles, and falls a tad short on checkpoints even tuning the thing for top speed. You should be able to beat over 50% of the game with just the elise, then splurging into a tier 1 car, murcialago, ford GT, mclaren, and the rest.

And I disagree with the comment above, racing is all fun and dandy but really what EA should have done was seriously hire better writers...the concept is generic, and no one wants to introduce a fresh story that pulls you in. Instead you get to grind through this thing.

LOL PWNT

NFS most wanted was the best for me, it followed the underground series, and perfected it with a very good soundtrack. Alot of people dont agree with that though...

I serously think that a racing game is that, a racing game, they should have done their homework, but i still hoping for a return to High Stakes / Porsche Unleashed, they were the best of the best (except for the only Porsche concept)
