NFS UnderCover Review

It’s been over a decade since the first Need for Speed debuted back in 1997. Since then, the franchise has thrown all kinds of curveballs into the progression trying keep itself unique and on top of the racing simulation list. And therein lies the fundamental problem with Undercover (as well as the past few in the series), the absence of any significant progression. Undercover underperforms with watered down gameplay, a lack of serious challenge, and just overall indistinctive from other racers. On the other hand, the production value has gone up. The sound effects are spot-on perfect and the cut scenes are sexy and entertaining (although sometimes cheesy). The end result is finely-polished ride with no engine driving it anywhere. more... for PCPeripheral fans.
