Need for Speed Undercover - Xbox 360

Lamepro needs to learn how to write gaming reviews....

Before I begin my review, Gamepro needs to make accurate accusations. I don't understand what's wrong with the controls, AI, or open world. All feel placed right. Now, on to the review.

To say that Need For Speed Undercover is one of the greatest racing games of all time is a gross understatement. It has to be one of the most stunning and amazing games of all time. This game gets everything right, and it continues in the footsteps of Most Wanted. Now, I thought for a long time Most Wanted was the best game of the series, as Carbon and the Undergrounds were men and Peostreet was just a smoldering piece of.... Yeah, you get the idea. But Undercover pulled EVERYTHING that was best out of all the Need for Speeds and incorporated it all into the game. From the amazing open world design from the Undergrounds to the realistic physics of Prostreet, the game just truly feels like a Need for Speed mosaic. The first thing that has seen a major overhaul is the story. I won't give too much away, but let me tell you that it is well-crafted. The full-motion cutscenes are also quite good, and take you into the world of illegal racing. The next thing that shines about Undercover is it's MASSIVE open world. Let me tell you, I'm almost done with the game, and I still haven't explored everything. Yeah, it's that big. It's so big that you'll be constantly wowed by the detail in the world. The next amazing thing is the crafty Heroic Driving Engine. Let me tell you that THIS KEY FEATURE makes the game. The engine allows to pull off amazing drifts and maneuvers, and is amazing. It adds to the overall game experience. Finally the cops. The cop AI is beastly. I mean, beastly! I remember my first time I faced cops on the lowest heat that it would be a waltz in the park, and next thing you know I'm busted! They will push your driving skills especially during the later heats.

I can't give any higher recommendation to Need For Speed Undercover. For those looking to extend the Need For Speed experience, prepared for a much needed refinement of the Most Wanted experience. The gameplay and story is solid, the driving is rewarding, and the online modes are fun and lag free. This is one of the best racing games I've seen in three years: go pick it up, you will not be disappointed.
