1.0 out of 5 stars What a letdown!, November 20, 2008

D. M. "Most Wanted" (Midwesterner) - See all my reviews

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Need for Speed: Undercover (DVD-ROM)

I was all excited that finally EA would return to the glory days of Most Wanted: police chases, open world driving, huge map, awesome graphics, great soundtrack...etc. NOT!

There is a reason this game is only [...] brand new (PC). It is a rip-off. This game is basically taking the Pro-Street driving engine, which stunk, and trying to merge it with a storyline similar to Most Wanted. In the end you get: lame, boring police chases, terrible-blurry-nausea-inducing graphics, extremely sensitive and unrealistic driving mechanics, a sound track that you disable within 5 minutes and another [...] bucks tossed into the dustbin.

Thanks for nothing, EA! I don't know who is making your product/marketing/producing decisions but they should be looking for a job after this 5 year demise of a great franchise. Only EA can thoroughly ruin something so fun and entertaining.

Sigh... I guess I'll have to play through Most Wanted for the umpteenth time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent Game, March 31, 2011

The game was decent, definitely not my favorite in the NFS series, but it was entertaining at least. The vehicle graphics looked fantastic(although every road appeared to covered in Crisco). I gave it 4 stars because if you're looking for a deep storyline and revolutionary gameplay, you should probably look elsewhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wait for the price to drop, November 19, 2008

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Need for Speed: Undercover (DVD-ROM)

There is a reason EA is not providing a demo of the game.

The game play is awful, not the same open world feel as in Most Wanted. The driving makes it seem like the player is driving a Zip Zap.

Story line is interesting.

EA Online Cops and Robbers is nothing like Midtown Madness 2's Cops and Robbers.

The game recognizes the Xbox 360 Controller but provides no force feedback.
