My View On Need For Speed Undercover

The latest ‘Need For Speed: Undercover’ game has got some poor reviews so far, but I don’t see the problem with the game.

I got the game a few days ago, and have been playing it since, it’s great! With the great ‘Most Wanted’ game and then the poor ‘ProStreet’ title, the Need For Speed games needed a lift. And I reckon that this latest game is that lift.

The game starts pretty suddenly, part way through the first movie scene you get dropped straight into the action, so a quick tip, make sure you’re not drinking while this happens like I was.

Overall this game is alot like ‘Most Wanted’, with many chases to escape from the rather short, and slow, arm of the law, plus with alot of high speed, action packed street races.

However, the things that make this new title better the the previous ‘Most Wanted’ is the awesome graphics and new range of cars. With a new set of cars that include the Pagani Zonda F, you can race around the streets at a lightening speed.

Although the storyline and graphics are awesome on this game, there are some downsides to it. Firstly, the AI of the game is rather poor, within all of the races there are some drivers that go for the win, and then there are the ones that try to hold you up by holding you up or pushing you into a wall or on coming traffic. Generally, during a difficult race, you will end up cursing and restarting due to the AI.

Even though the game has some downsides, the general gameplay of it is brilliant, the game seems to be a mix of ‘Need For Speed: Most Wanted’ and ‘Burnout Paradise’, and both of those games were great driving games. I can only advise than when EA come to make their next ‘Need For Speed’ title, they dedicate a little bit more time on the AI. Overall I would rate ‘Undercover’ at 8.5/10
