Game came as expected. Fast shipping. The disc came with dried water marks that couldn't come off but the game works just fine and I love it.

This game comes on the heels of Need For Speed: Most Wanted, Carbon and Shift titles and reverts back to the street-racing roots of the NFS games. The plot is of an undercover cop infiltrating a crime web of car thieves/exporters. The storyline sounded straight out of a movie franchise. Unfortunately though the storyline isn't very deep, the cut-scenes short with little character development or feeling of interaction. The 'career' mode felf very impersonal and was mostly selecting races/events, rinse, repeat. If you're looking for a NFS game with good action AND story to boot, you're still going to be reaching back to 2005. NFS: Carbon is a strong effort in that regard as well, but the recent games are sorely lacking.

This game is actually a step up for Need For Speed, but it good have been better. The gameplay is alright, its not as fun as Hot Pursuit 2/Underground series, Most Wanted/Carbon but its still a 6 or 7 out of 10 in that category. With all those games you want to play so badly but with this game you just want to finish it. I still think its fun, when the story-line is there. The story-line gets better as you get further into the game. The story line would probably around an 8. Its stupid, but pretty cool, as you become friends with street racers, gangs, and smugglers. You then have to take them down, by ramming into their car a few times, and then it automatically arrests them. The jobs are great, and have a challenge to them that no game has. You steal a McLaren F1, a Bugatti Veyron, and are framed for killing someone, making every cop chase you. The cops are much harder then Most Wanted and Carbon, and just around 5 cops will trigger an SUV or a State Pursuit vehicle chasing after you. The car list is amazing with Lotus Elise to Audi TT to Chevy Camaro to Mercedes McLaren to Aston Martin to Pagani Zonda. The game has a realistic push to it, in car physics but is unrealistic other wise. You can drive a Chevy Camaro and beat Pagani Zondas. The car list would get an 8 out of 10. Realism is probably a 7 out of 10, because they tried. This game is great if you have free time and want a racing game but I actually would not have mind getting a different game. The games great, but I feel otherwise. Get it if you think you need it. But really, this game has an unfinished touch that I wish wasn't there.Read full review
Need for Speed: Undercover is a very straightforward racing game. The controls are very simple and if you can do one race, you can do all of them. It takes some time to complete all of the races and to dominate the ones you need to, however, which is why the difficulty is a 4/10 and not lower. Introduction: Need for Speed: Undercover is somewhat a sandbox game, but first you need to complete the career. As a result, only one career playthrough is needed, there are no missable achievements, and you can redo races as many times as you wish. 187 offline races plus 119 online races can get tiring and somewhat tedious at times, so just keep at it and go for 1000! Overview: -Estimated achievement difficulty: 4/10 -Offline: 41 -Online: 9 -Approximate amount of time to 1000: 20-30 hours -Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1 -Number of missable achievements: None! -Glitched achievements: No -Do cheat codes disable achievements? Cheats do not appear to disable achievements. -Does difficulty affect achievements? No.Read full review
This game doesn't change the formula of a typical racing game but is fun regardless. The car selection includes basically every mainstream production sports car currently available(with the exception of Ferrari which is reluctant to allow games to feature their cars). The story is a bit cheesy but that seems to be standard in non-simulation racing games. The one major flaw in this game is the frame rate. I'm not even a picky person but the frame rate is seriously abysmal. Your environment goes by in what appears to be a 200 mile an hour slide show and I've even crashed a few times as a result of it. If you enjoy racing games, exotic cars, and can deal with a sub-standard frame rate, this game is for you.
