Need for Speed Undercover returns to its roots with hokey cut scenes, wild cop chases, and solid
racing action.
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.
For the most part, the reaction to the last few Need
for Speed games was the same: "Why aren't they more like Need for Speed
Most Wanted?" "Where are the cheesy cutscenes and the over the top cop
chases?" It seems as if EA heard those cries, because for better or for
worse, Need for Speed Undercover feels like Most Wanted.
In Undercover you play the role of wait for it an
undercover officer. Along with agent Chase Linh, played by the attractive
Maggie Q, your job is to take down a group of street racers that have somehow
become involved in an international smuggling ring. The story is told via campy
cutscenes that fail to capture the charm of Most Wanted thanks to uninteresting
characters and a predictable plot. Having a story provides incentive to make it
through race after race, but the whole "this is cheesy so it's cool"
thing feels kind of forced this time around.
It won't be easy we'll have to use our powers of
acting to take down the street racers.
Like many other Need for Speed games, all of your
racing will take place on the streets of a fictitious open world city here it's
the Tri City Bay area. You'll start with a lousy vehicle, but it won't be long
before you're able to snag a pink slip to a nicer ride. As you progress you'll
earn cash, which can be used to unlock (50+) new vehicles from manufacturers
such as Nissan, Dodge, Cadillac, Ford, Porsche, Lamborghini, BMW, Aston Martin,
Mitsubishi, and more. If you're into tuning individual aspects of your ride or
purchasing individual parts you can do that, but if you're not into tinkering
you can purchase an upgrade package and be on your way.
Not only will you earn money for winning an event,
you'll earn driving points for dominating it basically beating it really,
really bad. You can power up a number of your driving attributes, but they
don't have a noticeable effect on how your car handles. As long as you drive
fast you'll probably dominate, but there are occasional races where you'll totally
obliterate the time needed to dominate an event, but you'll still lose to the
CPU. The game also encourages you to drive with style and drift, draft, and
drive really close to other cars, but other than increasing your nitrous
there's little to gain from doing so. That said, the new J-Turn mechanic, which
lets you bust quick 180s, is invaluable when chasing down rivals or evading the
cops. You'll use it because it's useful, though, not because it gets you heroic
driving points.
www.mrqasimashraf.blogspot.com The cops are back in
full effect in Undercover, and for the most part, their return is welcome. The
challenges in which you must ram and take out a certain number of police cars
are great fun, as are the challenges where you must cause a certain monetary
sum of damage. Of course, you don't always have to ram cars to take them down;
you can also run into log trucks, electrical towers, billboards, and more to
leave a little surprise for your pursuers. It's too bad that some odd quirks
hamper the cop chases. The environmental hazards that you can unleash certainly
look cool and are effective, but quite often you won't see any police cars get
hit by the objects, yet when the cutscene ends the cars are trashed. Sometimes
you won't have to do anything at all to evade police the game says
"go" and you stay still and nobody finds you. Cops are capable of
laying down spikes, but you can go the entire game without them ever doing so.
The biggest problem, however, is that the cops don't do much other than bang on
the side of your car and yell at you, so if you last long enough they sort of
fade away on their own. This makes the chases less challenging than they could
have been and also makes them feel artificial, like you're just fulfilling some
sort of time requirement until the game decides you've done well enough to
escape.
Need for Speed Undercover isn't just about messing
with the Man. There are events where you need to maintain a lead for a specific
amount of time or get a certain distance ahead of your opponent. Sometimes
you'll have to shake the cops while trying to keep a stolen ride in pristine
condition, and there are checkpoint races and circuit races as well. There's
not a whole lot that's original here and the races are generally extremely easy
you might not see another car for an entire race once you've cleared the
starting line. They're difficult on occasion, but this is usually because of
the choppy frame rate, which is often dreadful on the PlayStation 3. It's not
as if Xbox 360 owners are getting a smooth, fast frame rate, but it's
significantly better than the PS3's slide show, which is often so bad that it
makes the otherwise great handling vehicles a chore to drive. What's odd is
that there's really no obvious reason for the game's poor frame rate; the city
doesn't look much different than those in Need for Speed Carbon and Need for
Speed Most Wanted, and the car models have aliasing issues.
You might not want to crash into a cop car in real
life, but here, it's all good.
That said, the game does do a few things very well. The online cops and
robbers mode, where the robber tries to pick up money and take it to a drop off
point while another person plays the cop and tries to ram them, is quite a bit
of fun. But mostly what the game gets right is its pacing. The races are short
sometimes as short as 20 seconds, and almost never longer than five minutes.
Another cool thing the game does is it lets you instantly jump to the closest
race by pressing down on the D pad. If you want to find a specific event you
can press up and you're taken to a GPS map, where you can instantly go to the
race of your choice. It'll save you a lot of needless backtracking, and
combined with the short races, makes sure that Undercover never gets boring.
If you're one of the many people who loved Need for Speed Most Wanted,
flaws and all, you'll find a lot to like in Undercover. It's not very original
and the slow frame rate is a downer, but there's no denying that it's just good
fun to run from the cops and wreak havoc on a city in the process.
