Need for Speed: Undercover

released on Nov 18, 2008

The Need for Speed series got another dose of Hollywood magic with the release of Undercover. Take on jobs and compete in races to prove yourself as you infiltrate and take down an international crime syndicate. As you win each race, you’ll go deeper into the underworld web that rules Tri-City… and then tear it apart right under their noses. You make the calls, but don’t break your cover: inside the car or out of it, one mistake here could be your last.

Não é ruim mas também não é tão bom, trilha sonora é boa mas esse filtro amarelo é uma desgraça e a camera desse jogo é meio zoada.
mas tem a Maggie Q vulgo minha esposa, pra carregar a história nas costas (que é até interessante)

Need for Speed: Undercover was my first every Need for Speed game back when it came out. So because of this it's a little special to me. It's not the best Need for Speed game by far but it is great. The live action cutscenes are a bit jarring and kinda bad and cringy. The gameplay is standard and smooth, customization is pretty good and the cop chases are great.

77/100

No one likes this one. The 3rd release in the NFS series on the 360, 2008's undercover feels like a product of the yearly release franchise that NFS became. Taking notes from the popular most wanted series, the game tells the story of some cool underground racing scene, featuring stylised real life actors in the cutscenes. This was actually my favourite part of the game. It's so painfully 2008 that it hurts and masochists like me will feel right at home in this classic cringe fest. On to the racing itself, well it's not good. We have a very bland open world map. It looks very low res and ugly and doesn't feel like it was designed with racing in mind. These type of maps work in games when there are lots of nooks and crannies to explore, secrets to find and jumps to try out. Undercover's map isn't like this. It is empty. Racing around the same lifeless map is extremely tedious and made worse by the cop chases. How can I hide from the cops if there is no where to hide? The game also introduces some destructible elements to the map, which while nice, are heavily underutilised. The game is also 100% an arcade racer, so keep that in mind. Really can't recommend this one.
