The Good

Plenty of cop chases, Instantly join races with press of a button, Doesn't take long before you're driving a cool car.

The Bad

Lots of quirks and nagging gameplay issues, Emulates Most Wanted, but doesn't necessarily improve upon it, Story isn't much to get excited about.

The Bottom Line

EA's dominating racing series takes a left turn with this uniquely action-oriented entry in the franchise, where players use their driving skills honed in previous NFS games to control their vehicle in dangerous, high speeds encounters. The game features international movie star, Maggie Q, as the lead character in the big-budget live-action sequences that propel the story forward as players get behind the wheel. Undercover takes the franchise back to its roots and re-introduces break-neck cop chases, the world's hottest cars and spectacular highway battles.

Need for Speed returns to its roots with hokey cutscenes, wild cop chases, and solid racing action.

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

IGN review logo
50/100

Need for Speed Undercover is a poor game with a ton of problems, both technically and in terms of design.
