Finding players on the PC versions wasn't easy
December 9, 2008
Then of course, there are the cops. You have various
events that involve the police, including Evade, where the
aim is to lose the cops; Cop Takeout, where you are required
to incapacitate a fixed number of cop cars; and Cost to the State,
where your job is to cause damage to public property. The key to emerging
unscathed in cop events is the pursuit breakers, which are objects
in the environment that can be used to block the path of your pursuers.
Cops, too, will do all they can to stop you, including roadblocks
and spike strips. Depending on your heat level, police choppers and
surprisingly fast fed SUVs will also be occasionally deployed to take
you down.
On the online side, you have the usual Circuit and Sprint
races, and Cops and Robbers, a team-based mode, similar
to capture the flag. Lag isn't much of an issue, although finding
players on the PC versions wasn't easy even this soon after the
game's release. There is no offline multiplayer option. On one hand,
it's for the best due to the game's horrible frame rates, but on
the other hand, Highway Battle could be fun on split-screen.
These events give you lots to do in Undercover, and there
is enough variety here to make sure the game doesn't get stale fast.
The game also has a nice array of cars, and the ability to upgrade
them as you earn more money. The Autosculpt feature returns
along with an exhaustive list of visual upgrade options; everything
from body kits, tyres, spoilers, exhausts, etc.
