Need for Speed: Undercover (PS3)

I was a big fan of the 'Need for Speed : Underground' games, back when all you had to do was get to the starting point and then race. There was no story and there was no running away from the cops every five minutes. After 'Need for Speed : Underground 2' I stopped playing these games. because it moved away from the original idea of the game and because the far better 'Juiced' was on the market. But I finally decided to give one ago and here's the ...
...I was unaware that the 'Need for Speed' games had a story nowadays, so I was surprised when the game started with a cut-scene featuring real actors and actresses. I was sceptical of how much this could add to the game. The plot to the game is that you are an undercover cop trying to gain the trust of some gangsters involved in the street racing scene, in order to take them down. The story itself is quite weak to say the least. Each cut-scene usually ...

Review of Need for Speed: Undercover (PS3)

Review of Need for Speed: Undercover (PS3)

The need for speed series had taken some hard hits lately and undercover really seemed to roll back to it's core roots and in a sense it does, the gameplay itself plays very much like the classics did, but the overall finish of the game is very poor in a sense that there seems to be a lot of technical issues. The most noticable of these is the framerate, speeding around the streets is great fun in games because you cant do it in real life, but when ...
...a second each time you seem to be driving fast, it really ruins the experience, there are various other things wrong, like the overall sense that the game is stuck on very easy mode and that seeing as though you're in a major city the roads are deserted. The music in the game is always a positive, the developers always do well on this part, but it's totally ruined in the fact you cant play the game. One feature that I find hilarious is that you ...

Cop chases are the highlight of this game with their growing ...
