"Grave performance issues, a bland narrative, and a condescending level of difficulty burn through most of Need for Speed Undercover's potential for fun."

It might seem the black sheep of Need for Speed franchise, but this game is actually good.

I have a history of enjoying Need for Speed games that aren't well regarded by critics and the community. I thought Pro Street was an absolute delight despite its obvious control problems. Undercover… Read more

A Good Cheap Racer

For a game that came out in 2008 its held up suprisingly well . Its a typical open world racer and seems to be a response to burnout paradise with some of the design choices they made . What sets this… Read more

Nfs Undercover looks like most wanted but its a big step backward

Game play: Everyone knows that the best nfs game is most wanted because most wanted had intense police chase`s cool customisation and good AI. When I played Prostreet i wasn`t happy because there was… Read more

Dissapointing and broken

I honestly didnt even have to finish this game to know how bad it really is. Ok the game has a couple good things going for it. The cars look ok, it worked with my gamepad(vibration was good and reali… Read more

Oh c'mon.. Another failed NFS game.

After finding that EA wanted to go after the more successful formula of Most Wanted, I was more than elated that one of my favorite franchise is getting life back again. Now after I played the game I… Read more

No scientology in sight

I’ve always thought the Need For Speed series is at its best when dealing with the boys in blue. Most Wanted was the last time we tackled the law, and since then the franchise has moved off into other… Read more

Nothing is undercover about how bad this game is.

Need for Speed: Undercover brings back the old gameplay everyone loved, but it’s so easy, lazy, and buggy that not even your average hotrod grandma will enjoy it. Let’s face it, Need for Speed: Most W… Read more

Blazing action but it's the same old thing with new flaws.

Electronic Arts is known for a lot of things: popular sports games, trendy production, gobbling up smaller developers and being the root of all evil. The most consistent of all its labels has to be EA… Read more

Better than ProStreet. Worse than most.

Alright, so this is the latest installment in the long running EA series, Need for Speed. Many of the previous games were not as good as they should have been, and Undercover makes no attempt to break… Read more

Despite the bugs, it's playable

Need for Speed: Undercover is a racing game, as you might have imagined. There's a lot of cool real-life cars, good tuning options, but the gameplay is mediocre. First of all, it's buggy - there are a… Read more

You'll want to hide undercover from this game.

Since the success of Burnout Paradise and the recent Midnight Club: Los Angeles, EA have been floundering. While Burnout Paradise is a title EA themselves published, it's taken a serious dent in the s… Read more

Almost, but not quite

I had high hopes for NFS: Undercover. Unfortunately I was very disappointed. I felt that the series kept going down starting with Carbon. The NFS series returning to its roots with this game is kind o… Read more

Not bad for a PSP racer

Now I'll be honest, I haven't really played the other Need For Speeds. The whole franchise lost me with Underground. Now Undercover for the other platforms is getting mixed reviews, and I haven't play… Read more

Need4Speed is Broken

With all due respect to the other review of this game; I disagree pretty strongly. Need4Speed Undercover is practically broken, never should have been released in this state in the first place, and yo… Read more

Much better than Pro Street, but in someways a step back

After playing the horrible Need for Speed: Pro Street I was ready to give up on the Need for Speed series altogether, but when I saw the first screen shots and trailer for Need for Speed: Undercover I… Read more
