    There are a wealth of better options available - pick up "Burnout" or "Wipeout Pure", instead. [Issue#174, p.83]
  2. The worst PSP version of Need for Speed to date, Need for Speed Undercover feels like a muddled attempt to revive the spirit of past glories.

People who say handling is bad in this version are dumb, I actually had more control over the car than in other versions (handling was too responsive for me in the PC version). The customization is surprisingly good for a PSP game, the cops are fine, engine sounds are a mixed bag, some of the are okay, and some of them are bad or even terrible. The graphics are not good, it doesn't look pretty for a 2008 PSP game. Overall 6/10 would like to play it again soon. Full Review »
