    Need For Speed Undercover

    Graphics: The graphics in this game are wonderful, they look much more realistic than previous versions of need for speed and have amazing load times. infact there are barely any load times. This game looks amazing in 1080 and im sure you will enjoy it.
    Loading screens and menus have been modernized and look stunning.
    The motion blur has been improved over most wanted and you can actually see what your doing while its bluring
    Sound: Sound is just as good as the graphics, each car has its own distinct noise, they are still a little tiny bit off the real cars noise but nothing that you will notice.
    Soundtrack is what to expect from EA and gets a bit repetitive.
    Gameplay: The gameplay is about the same to Most Wanted. You drive around the city and complete races/police escapes until you can face a boss/mission. It does get a bit repetitive but if you enjoyed Most Wanted then you would more than certain enjoy this game.
    I have found the game to be pretty easy (im not too far yet) but thats mostly because im a ------ing amazing driver *wink*
    Replayability: Just like most wanted, once you beat it, there isnt much else to do except buy all the cars and drive them around a bit.
    Multiplayer: UNTESTED (Gold Pending :P)

    The Breakdown
    Graphics: 8/10
    + Realistic Graphics with amazing lighting
    + No transition times between parts of the city
    Sounds: 7/10
    + Cars and cities sound the way they should
    - EA music sucks
    + music gets repetitive
    Gameplay: 8/10
    +Very fun game, lots to do
    - Not much to do except straight racing
    Multiplayer: X/10
    untested

    Overall: 8/10
    The game is definitly worth a rent/beat, if you loved most wanted and are a fan of racing games, its a must buy.
    This game is nothing like --- street, which i thought was ----.

    A world far beyond your imagination...
    I was told not to buy this game or rent it for PS3 by several other people on GR. You're the first one to say that this is worth playing.

    I'm going to wait to see what others say in this thread and if it is good I might go and buy it.

    Thanks,

    Zain.

    I played this game on Xbox 360, standard definition, and I personally thought the graphics well...sucked. I honestly thought that Prostreet's graphics were a lot better than these. There were times where things seemed really choppy, and bushes and trees looked very poorly done. As for the gameplay, it seemed to arcadish to me. I wouldn't recommend the game, but that may just be me.

    I don't think this is any competition to the likes of GRID or DIRT2(coming out soon), or even Forza2. I much prefere realistic games. Good review tho.

    nice review i have the game for ps3
    i love it the only thing that is annoying is the occasional lag spikes that happen but there not that bad that they will make you crash or lose control of the car

    one thing you didn't mention was the improved handling system which was really a big highlight for me
