    Undercover is significantly more fun than ProStreet and offers far more long-time playing motivation as well. [Issue#17]

    While still a good driving game, Undercover tries too hard to be like "Most Wanted" and fails at delivering a solitary, genuine experience. Fans of the series will get what they want, all others should wait until Need for Speed (hopefully) picks up an innovative pace again.

    It hurts to say it but, “the need for speed” is lacking in this latest rendition.

    What`s up with the Need for Speed-series? This game cannot compete with its rivals in any aspect. The old elements of the game are quite good, but the new ones seem to be unbalanced and ill-conceived.

    They tried to do third most wanted but ultimately failed. They failed so hard.

    Police chases are unfun and not satisfying.

    Sun blind your eyes and without that you see how weak the atmosphere is. Soulness and empty.

    Now for the most important part:

    Car handling is sh1t. It is just terrible. When you can't do car handling right in a game about racing your game is already doomed to fail. You just lost the game, mission failed.    … Full Review »

    You piled with 8+ police SUV's and expected to destroy them along with the additional police cruiser that spawns every 60 seconds.

    You do this for every cop chase scene, it gets real old and boring real quick.    … Full Review »
