Need for Speed: Undercover

Advantages: Car Handling
Disadvantages: Very Glitched, Repetitive

...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 review for it. ~~~ Story ~~~ 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...

Review of Need for Speed: Undercover (PS3)

I HAVE A NEED FOR SPEED!

Advantages: Good graphics and control
Disadvantages: long load times

...NEED FOR SPEED: SHIFT Unlike previous games in the franchise there are no high speed chases from the cops, this one focuses on more of an authentic track racing game. The career mode is lengthy with over 200 events to complete and as you win and are promoted up the leagues until you finally reach the World Tour.

Review of Need for Speed: Shift (Xbox 360)

Need For Speed: Shift

Advantages: Looks Good, Sounds Good, Great Cars
Disadvantages: Over a Bit Too Quickly

...The latest installment of the Need for Speed, Shift, series reverts (thankfully) back to the track-racing percision of ProStreet. After a few more dyer attempts at the even-more-overdone-than-WW2-shooters street racing scene, the new game heads back to some of the most popular race tracks in the world. Slightly Mad Studios have managed to create an accessible racer that's easy for a beginner to pick and jump into, but at the same times appeals to experts. Anyone who has previously played any career driven racer before will know what to expect; you start with a small amount of money to buy a bottom-of-the-barrel car, finish a few races and upgrade your car, finish a few more and buy a better car. There are plenty of cars to choose from and they all behave differently making the driving experience for each unique. The cars are broke up...

Need For Speed Undercover

Advantages: Graphics, story, cars race etc.
Disadvantages: Amount of Story

...NFS Undercover is the latest game in the series. this game tries to reclaim the series from ProStreet which many people did not like due to the lack of variability and street racing. This game brings back the old style cop chases and also brings in modes from ProStreet put alters them to make them more interesting to fans as they involve the cops and good olkd fashioned street racing. Cop chases are the highlight of this game with their growing tactics and arsenal of vehicles it can turn any race into a full frontal attack fromt the police. Modes such as circuit, sprint, cost to state and cop takeout. They now add outrun and highway battle, Highway battle takes you to the highway add pits you against the greatest drivers to test out the speed and manouverability of your car therough the mass of citizens.

Need For Speed: Shift (Xbox 360)

Advantages: Beautiful racing game, the focus is heavily on you having fun
Disadvantages: If you don't like racing games its not for you. I preferred having to run away from the police.

...Shift is the new racing game from EA. Based on the Need for Speed franchise. Although if you were after anything like the previous installments, which involved being generally illegal and driving away from the police. This game involves standard, almost arcade style racing, whilst looking absolutely amazing. The graphics are stunning and the audio of the cars is what you'd expect. Your ultimate aim is to get into the Need For Speed racing championships after you have gained enough Stars for completing races and performing certain tasks during them, like reaching a certain speed or taking the racing line on all the corners. The handling of the cars are great, and there is outstanding attention to detail on the insides of the cars. I imagine that the development team behind the game wants you to play with a racing wheel and using...

Review of Need for Speed: Shift (Xbox 360)

Need For Speed Prostreet: A little disappointing

Advantages: New Drag Race feature
Disadvantages: Nothing like previous NFS games

...Need for speed games are usually the highlight of every gamers year, and when Prostreet came out everyone was expecting big things. Being a keen gamer myself i decided to buy the latest need for speed hoping it would be as good as its predecessors. I was quite excited when i got it home and turned it on for the first time and i was staggered by the graphics displayed on the playstation 3 and i was keen to get started. I started the career mode and to my horror realised that they had replaced the familiar site of street racing with the more 'sunday driver' style track racing. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with track racing but from a need for speed game you expect street racing, if i wanted to buy a track day racing game then i would have bought something like Gran Turismo 5 or something which offers proper track racing...

Review of Need for Speed: ProStreet (PS3)

I have the Need, the Need for Speed...ProStreet

Advantages: Brilliantly realistic, many cars, superb graphics
Disadvantages: No map, slight let down in modding

...Need for Speed: ProStreet So here it is, finally, the long awaited Next Gen Need for Speed, (We'll ignore Need for Speed: Carbon because it was rubbish) and I must say...they've done it again. Its another brilliant installment from the Need for Speed team!! Lets run through in more detail, shall we? Graphics Right then, graphics! As you can imagine, being a next gen game the graphics are simply brilliant, especially when viewed in full HD! The crash sequences are simply breath taking and the tracks and surrounding are stunning. Put these two together and you've got the makings for a classic racing game. One of the best graphical features I found in this game are the dirt courses. Sounds boring I know, but trust me when you pull that perfect drift at 80mph through a dirt bend and you see the dust fly up into the air, you will...

Need For Speed: Undercover

Advantages: Single player and online gameplay, graphics
Disadvantages: None

...Ea Games is primarily known to everyone through their Need For Speed series. Need For Speed: Undercover is very similar to Need For Speed: Pro Street, mostly because of the graphics. Gameplay have changed very much, but graphics are very similar. In the game, you have to complete different missions and quest, and from these missions, as usually you earn money. With money, you can buy new and better cars, and of course you can tune your cars, with different engines, and other things. It's perfect game for racing game fans, best game feeling you get with steering wheel. However everything isn't really good, there are a few problems about this game. In the beginning of the game, you are some type of racing newbie, and you have to win races to get more fame and money. There are different event's, like circuit racing, speeding and also...

Review of Need For Speed: Undercover (PC)

Need For Speed ProStreet

Advantages: Graphics,Sounds,cars
Disadvantages: No Freedom to Roam

...I bought this game as soon as i got my ps3 i had looked forward to this game coming out for months and months,i was finally glad the wait was over. As soon as i put the game on i noticed how much different the game was from previous versions of need for speed.On this version you are on a race track not on the streets,there is also no police chases onthis version which i think was one of the good things that they introduced into most wanted. The graphics on this game are spectacular the background looks in fine detail aswell.EA have not rushed this game as you can see from the output of it. So the story line on this game is that you are a new Racer from the Streets and you have to work your way up the ranks in the world of legal racing. There are a few different races to master such as Drag Races - One on One...

Need For Speed: Carbon

Advantages: Single player gameplay, videos among the game, game graphics .
Disadvantages: Sterring with Wii reomote is a little bit messy .

...Electronic Arts is primarily known to everyone through their Need For Speed series. In year 2006 they completed Need For Speed: Carbon. If we compare this series to other series, It's really different and many things have changed very much. But gameplay is very similar, especially to Need For Speed: Underground 2. You ride along the streets in the city and you complete missions to conquer territories. As usually, you earn money, and also you can unlock new things for your racing car. As you know, with money you can buy new cars and different engines, transmissions and other things for your car. It's great game for racing games fans and this game gives you real racing experience. In the beginning of the game you are some kind of rookie, who earns money and earns fame by racing. There are a lot of different missions to complete, example...
