Need for Speed- Undercover.

[frozenrat]

Has anyone else tried this game?

I'm not very far into it, But it's a really fun game.
It's ALOT better than Pro Street, I am still in the very beginning of the game, but you can already tell that it's better.

Also, It seems as if they've refined the game engine pretty well, It runs so much more smoothly than Pro street did.

The only complaint I have so far is that...They're doesn't seem to be a whole lot of cinematic clips like there have been in the previous games, But maybe there will be more as I progress..

Anyway, if you haven't gone out and bought it yet, And you enjoy racing games, you should pick it up.

It's got a pretty good storyline also.

The game's story mode sets the player in the story as a police officer going undercover into the criminal underground of Tri-City, a fictional city where the game is set. Players take on dangerous 'jobs' and compete in races in order to infiltrate and take down a ruthless international crime smuggling syndicate of street racers and car thieves. The player's only contacts to the police are federal handler Chase Linh, played by Maggie Q, and later Lt. Jack M. Keller played by Paul Pape.[13] As Player wins races and blends in with the gangs by doing different jobs like stealing cars, he later ends up taking out the bosses and their thugs. As the end draws near Chau Wu calls the hero telling to return one of his cars that he claims that GMac had him steal when it was Hector and Zach that stole the car to begin with. The player gets the car from Carmen and then takes the car to the Warehouse district in Sunset Hills to save Chase. When he gets there he finds out that he has been tricked by Chase Lihn the whole time and then kills Chau Wu for his cell phone which has important data in regards to stolen cars from the docks. The player evades the police since they are after him as he tries to escape and go after Chase. Then the player goes after and takes out Chase and she is arrested for framing him and being involved with Chau Wu. Then later Carmen is seen talking to the player and she asks him to take her back to the University and mentions that she is a med student.

Few days before the release, EA revealed some new plot details of Undercover. A video shows the player evading capture from the Tri-City Police Department (TCPD). The player was aided by detective Chase Linh and then Lt. Jack Keller. [14] The player gains a ally named Carmen Mendez, played by singer and actress Christina Milian who becomes friends with the player. As well, six criminal characters (Chau Wu, Gregory "G-Mac" MacDonald (a former undercover police officer from the TCPD who's gone native, played by actor David Rees Snell, of the television series "The Shield"), Rose Largo played by actress Heather Fox, Hector Maio played by actor Kurt Caceres (of the television series "Prison Break)", Brad "Nickel" Rogers played by actor Lawrence B. Adisa , and Zack Maio played by actor Joshua Alba (brother of actress Jessica Alba)) have been introduced. There are three other characters to note: Jonathon Cross is listed as an acquaintance to "G-Mac", yet not much is known about him at this time; and Isabel "Izzy" Diaz, one of the "Blacklist" members in Most Wanted, and Caleb Reece, the main antagonist in Underground 2, are listed as acquaintances to Hector Maio.[15] However, these characters don't appear in a game, making them only a loose connection between the newest games in the franchise.

Yeah I beat the game...it was pretty fun..but no replay value.
A cop in an SUV goes as fast as my Bugatti with nitro...touches my bumper...I flip 19 times.
Land on my wheels and run away .

It's fairly good, the collisions make no sense...and that's the only bad side to it I guess.
The steering takes about 3minutes to get used to, and then it's surprisingly nice steering (try using a controller though).

Beat it in approx. 3 days, of ...1-3 hours of play time / day.

Actually, The collision is more acurate than any other NFS game ever.

If you're doing 120 MPH and you're bumper is touched and slides you sideways a bit, Then of course all the force is put on your wheels...Sideways, resulting in your car flipping

120MPH flip-Several rolls



I did notice the steering was really keen though, It's a great game overall

I seen this game advertising on the tv, It look's really cool, and by what you said, look's like it's worth it.
I've played most of the Need For Speed titles.

I'll be sure to pick this up soon.

 

[LilWayneFTW]

I might rent this instead.

I'm not good in the Need For Speed series :{

Ok...I'm gonna go do stuff ingame..hopefully catch it on fraps, and upload it to youtube.

From what i've heard it's pretty much a pile of trash. EA needs to actually develop proper racing games, the only good racer coming from EA is from Criterion (Burnout series).

 

[PixelPro]

I havn't tried out the game yet, but i'll be buying it soon. Also by looking at that picture, it looks like the graphics from NFS Most Wanted / Pro Street.

this game is a 8/10 for me
beat it once in the frist 2 days and doing it agian
the race is fun to play but the story is a bit sh_ _ not much in the car dealer or even part
money is hard to get at the start but u would be over 1mil by the timeu beat all the race
so over all the gamw is only fun for a short time even online

 

[MuIsBest]

You mean undercover?

Anyway, How much can you expect a street racing game to change?
The most change the game has really seen was Pro Street when they took the game off the streets and to tracks.
Which was a terrible idea.

Lol yeah honestly...and is anyone else tired of the anonymous driver?...or the fact that all drivers look the same.
It's E fucking A, they've made 100's of games, yet they cant make a few different models for the car drivers.

Edit: Here it is, as promised...random collision physics, wack loading screens (blue thing that freezes - mid video), cops that can literally never catch you.. and you rape all 40 of them in 1 pursuit breaker thing....but I let them catch me just so I can see the anonymous guy get rocked...etc
Keep in mind I was playing at 12FPS, cause of FRAPS...so it was terribad driving.
