*/Need for Speed: Undercover feels like a great and fun game already,

though we do get the feeling that a large amount of that appeal is going

to rely on how interesting the open world is. The fact that it feels and

looks like playing another EA game isn't a huge problem.

 

What is a potential problem though is that the game may have lost its

feeling of being a street racer and unknowingly replaced it with a more

comic, crash-based mechanic. That isn't all that bad in itself but which

may disappoint fans who come to //Need for Speed: Undercover expecting

one thing only to find another.

 

There's still time left before //Need for Speed: Undercover releases

though and no matter how you look at it it's still shaping up to be one

hell of a game. With a few more tweaks and an open world that's

interesting enough, it's possible that //Undercover could be our new

most wanted.

*Cheers guys!
