Fun at times, but mostly a disaster

December 9, 2008
Need for Speed: Undercover is fun at times, but for most part, it is a disaster. The action-movie-in-a-game approach falls flat and the open world setting is a waste. While driving around the city can be thrilling at times, each time you start having fun, the game's technical incompetence will come as a slap in the face. Those who loved Most Wanted could enjoy this game, but don't get your hopes up. This is the Need for Speed franchise's darkest hour. If you thought it couldn't get worse then ProStreet, well, it just did.

Positives

  • Great sense of speed
  • Intense, thrilling chases

Negatives

  • Frame-rates issues often make it unplayable
  • Uninteresting story, dreadful acting
  • Waste of an open-world environment

Verdict: Avoid

Need for Speed Undercover is in stores on PC (Rs 999), Xbox 360 (Rs 1,999), PlayStation 3 (Rs 2,499), PlayStation 2 (Rs 999), and PlayStation Portable (Rs 1,599).
