Introduction
Yeah sure, street racing is extremely fun it is also extremely retarded and dangerous, so why not do that all from the comfort of your house. Be a cop, be a crook your choice, you choose the roads you will take in Need for Speed: Undercover.
Game play
The overall game play is nice, with only a few issues and one part of those issues is how the open world racing is handled. In many events, the game actually closes off your city access with barriers and only lets you drive on the predefined track. This means that you can't take your own custom route through the city for the longer events, which is somewhat of a shame, and it also means you won't have to deal with cross traffic.
In terms of the actual driving mechanics, there are problems here too. My main gripe is that cars don't power slide as well as they should which can make taking turns at high speed a bit of a problem. Handling is uninspired overall, more functional than fun and charismatic like it should be. the Wii remote held on its side also possess a few problems in the name of if you want to make an exceptionally wide turn and turn your Wii remote too far then your car turns the complete opposite way, making evading cops that much more difficult.
Vehicles
The vehicle list is impressive, boasting a broad menu of 55 cars that includes a large number of relatively attainable desirables like the Audi TT or Mitsubishi Evo X as well as exotics like the Audi R8 and the Bugatti Veyron. The general feel and handling is exactly what we've come to expect from Need for Speed over the past few years; while based on realistic principles that allow the cars to lean and grip like the real thing, the game's tuned for game play rather than realism. If you're familiar with the franchise, you'll be pleased to learn that its "point and squirt" approach is fully intact. Point the car where you want it to go and squeeze the throttle, and all you really need to do to make course adjustments is ease off the throttle briefly. When you get the feel for it, you'll hardly ever do anything more than feather the brakes to get around particularly aggressive turns.
