NFS: Undercover Goes Gold


The newest game in the always popular Need For Speed series has been finished, or as they say in the industry, ‘gone gold’.

This new addition to the NFS family adds new elements to the series, such as a story. That’s right, a story in a racing game, I won’t go into details here, but it sounds very Fast and the Furious. For more details on the game, check out our preview and our interview with John Doyle, the producer of Undercover.

Here’s the PR guff, if you want even more text.

Need for Speed Undercover has players racing through speedways, dodging cops and chasing rivals as they go deep undercover to take down an International crime syndicate. The new game heralds the return of high-intensity police chases and introduces the all-new ‘Heroic Driving Engine’ - a unique technology that generates incredible high-performance moves at 180 miles per hour during breathtaking highway battles.

Need for Speed Undercover is being developed by Black Box in Vancouver, B.C., and is slated to be in stores in North America on November 18 and in Europe on November 21. The game will be available for Xbox 360a video game and entertainment system, PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system, and Wii as well as the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, Nintendo DS, PSP (PlayStation Portable) handheld entertainment system, PC and mobile.

From the videos I've seen, it's not very impressive and it has the usual washed out EA racing game art style. I'll probably still try it to see if my impression on it is accurate.

By the way, you've left an open italics HTML tag somewhere on this page. It's making everything below the italics in the article get italicised.

Hopefully it pays a visit back to its roots.

Racing games with stories never really work out. Taking down an International crime syndicate by just ramming their cars and winning races sounds silly. NFS needs to go back to it's original roots with exotic super cars racing down alpine tracks.

these days they seem to think that everyone wants to go round smashing up cops and street racing. it's so stupid and the story was probably just an after thought

Sexy, sexy italics. Just kidding, makes the site look emo.

Hopefully this game isn't as sh*t as all of the others, up to Underground2.

@alienhominid: Yeah that's what I meant. Even the site info at the bottom of the page is italicised now too.

Yep. Anyway, I liked most wanted, not carbon or pro street though. Lets hope the soundtrack is as good as most wanted... that really sold the game to me.
