Need For Speed Undercover

[kysg]

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)

I agree, man I do miss high stakes, granted it was a bit difficult. And I definately remember porsche unleashed I finished that whole test driver thing they had in it.

NFS:undercover just doesn't hit home at all...darn I'm gonna have to play GTR2 now.
and one minor note why no Ferrari F50...added the mclaren f1 but no ferrari f50 wtf EA...

EA said when they were announcing the undercover that they were going back to its root.
The only thing they brought back is the menu that is black and you see the car. nothing more, they need to make a RACING GAME not a STOP SMUGGLING OPERATIONS GAME

Hmm I got this and GRID on the same day ... played this for like 10 minutes, played grid for about 12 hours.

ninja ... wtf I can't do the first race on normal

 

[kysg]

yea I had that problem too, get use to it after a while, GRID actually takes skill same thing with GTR2.

 

[oli_ramsay]

lol a 24 hour le manns race in REAL TIME sounds like the worst possible way to spend a day.

Believe me, i have A LOT of skill in racing games but i fail in strategy (cant win a single game in warcraft 3, warhammer 40k and starcraft)

Also, yes i a very bad way to spent a whole day... unless there is a storm like no other and you dont feel to go to study

Gran Turismo 4 had 2 of em' that I did. I'd leave the ps2 on all the time and do a couple hours then go do something else until it was done.

OK, if you were to buy ONLY ONE game, which would it be:

1./ Gran Tourismo 4
2./ GRID
3./ GTR Evolution
4./ NFS Undercover
5./ NFS Most Wanted

Well, you can't get Gran Tourismo on the PC so I'll rule that out. As I've just bought Grid, I'll go with that.

NFS Undercover

Because I don't have a PS3, GTR really needs a wheel, I have GRID and I have played NFSMW many times.

@Littlelizard, whats your GRID online Username?

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Most Wanted. So far, Undercover just looks like a Most Wanted knock off. So much deja vuage up in here. :/


...and then I got a mad need to listen to Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Otherside so I alt+tabbed the game to track it down and listen to it...

...no idea where that from.

What? Those two shouldn't even be in the same sentence. GTR2 makes GRID look like a modern NFS game when it comes to simulation, and GTR2 isn't even the hardest racing game ever made.

GRID cars stick to the pavement with ridiculous amounts of traction.



Anyways, Undercover is just a Most Wanted ripoff in nearly everyway, and it doesn't come close to going back to the 'roots' of NFS. The last NFS game that had any promise was Porsche: Unleashed. If memory serves, that was designed around the PC, not a console. Proof in the pudding I suppose.

Ive heard bad stuff about this game so far. Car physics are whacked (gripping through corners on 150kph), graphics is lame, and story is flimsy. No saving grace.

They should just stop this franchise and go concentrate on other development like point of sale (PoS) system or something.

I have the PC and PSX version of NFSPU. They are completely different games except in the general car selection. Hell, they were so unique to each other that they really deserve separate names. They both had their pluses and minuses but both were excellent.

Wah, reminiscing is making me want to quit Undercover to dust off the PSX.

make that 150MPH and still there is a topspeed limit of 250MPH :shadedshu I know my veyron could hit 300MPH+ with fully loaded parts. Sad thing is there are plenty of straightline races which is very long I want to hit more than 300MPH+

EDIT: I just finished the game give undercover a 8/10

 

[FordGT90Concept]

The Buggatti Veyron costs $350,000!?! Last time I checked, it was in the $1-2 million range. At least the previous games had the prices close to the real deal.

All the previous games had a maximum speed of 250 MPH. The needle would bounce if you got to it.

 

[RadeonX2]

Just check the prices now veyron costs $375k, but the upgrades are expensive
well I just noticed the topspeed limit on prostreet then still the same in undercover.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I just had it crashski on me. Typical EA game. *mphm*

The Nisson GTR costs something like £175,000, it's £53,000 retail

Dude lay off, I was just adding GTR2 to the mix, geez...and I never said it was hard either. Just takes a bit of time to get use to.

F12002 was about the hardest i've played.

Yes upgrades and see able damge to the cars was cool one thing i am 98% sure of this new NFS don't have never mind the realistic handling when using a wheel.
These days none come even close to how good Porsche: Unleashed was all though GTR1/2 are cool games if your into the realism and damage

 

[ascstinger]

intresting game, the physics engine takes getting used to, especially after playing a lot of prostreet (yes, I'm an nfs fanboy, I own a copy of every game).

my take on it, is that it's a great arcade game. If I wanted simulation, I'd fire up GRID or Racer. Is the story line stupid, yes. But it sells the game so EA keeps it coming. There's not a lot of repetition in the races, credits to them for spending the time to create such a large network of road to play with. Cars selection seems to be lower than Pro Street and Carbon which feels a bit of a step backwards, though you never have enough money to own more than 1 or 2 in each class anyways. Once you get used to the arcade-style gameplay, its easy to enjoy blasting around instead of paying careful attention and calculating your planned trajectory around each curve like you would in a game like grid.

I liked it, not as an addition to the nfs series but just as an arcade racer in general. Though I dont see why we need another full-realism based game with the selection already availible
