Need for Speed Undercover (Wii, 2008)

Need for Speed: Undercover. Mediocre racing and tacky styling leave it stuck in neutral, gunning its engine while going absolutely nowhere. While a long campaign mode and intriguing new experience system get the pistons pumping, everything grinds to a halt when the rubber hits the road in the newest installment of the series.

If you haven’t played a NFS game in the past four years, Undercover is a decent option if you want to rekindle your love affair with the stalwart series. NFS of old was about hot cars, hot pursuits and miles and miles of open road, and Undercover make a semi-successful fist of recapturing some of this magic. Looks great, plays fine. There’s no getting around the fact, however, that Undercover is basically Most Wanted with a new lick of paint.

RENT THIS GAME FIRST OR DOWNLOAD THE DEMO..TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU LIKE IT!

I WOULD RECOMMEND MOST WANTED (HALF THE PRICE OF UNDERCOVER)

This game did not impress me at first because we had expected it to be more like the x-box game we played over a friends house. The raods through the city are not as detailed with options of making different turns.

As we played it over and over and in different modes we have found the game to be a lot fun. the steering and controls with Wii remind me of the controls for the indy cars and LeMans racing with the electronic shifting.

The gaming options make this fun for multiple players. Wwe enjoy taking turns being the police vs the runner.

I didn't rate it as excellent because of the misleading thought mentioned above. other then that it is a great game with lots of detail.

This NFS game is alot of fun. I have nitro which is one of my favorite wii games. and this one is right up there with it. I had prostreet, but didn't like the fact that you couldn't use the nunchuck control to steer....only using the remote like a steering wheel. Undercover you can use the nunchuck, which is a big plus for me. This has the classic need for speed theme of driving around crashing cars and running from the cops and there are also races too. I would definitely recommend it!

This is a fast paced racing game, most of it intuitive, some of it learned by fooling around for long enough. I bought the game in order to use a Logitech steering wheel that ONLY works with this game - what a crazy idea. But the game is good and I will end up playing it as much as any other Wii game I have - and I am a novice. I do like that it is realistic and the chatter from the cops in the background is always entertaining. I have not seen or heard anything offensive so far. I enjoy winning the money and upgrading my car - soon enough I'll have enough bucks to buy a new faster better handling ride - I cannot wait to get into the Porsche Carrera.

Typical racing style game that's fun to play and doesn't take a lot of time to get going right out of the box.Having said that,I was however somewhat disappointed in the quality of the grafics.At times I found it hard to see some of the road due to the darkness of the game.Also lacking the option of manual shift made it feel less realistic.I would still recommend this game due to the lack of many other good racing games for the Wii
