Need for Speed Undercover pics of my ride
So far the game is pretty good, a little short, but good none the less. The chase sequences are fun, the racing is alright, wish the racing could be in 60 fps, other wise 30 fps is adequate except when there is alot of cars on screen , then it slows down terribly. The story is alright too, some parts are cheezy , some parts draw you in. The car selection is very nice,ranging from budget sports cars to high dollar hyper cars.
The rim selection is much better than previous NFS games, the body kits got cut back which is a good thing in IMO , NFS constantly used the same kits from the first underground back in 2000, which showed laziness on there part. Now you can choose 4 kits and one autosculpt kit where basically you can design your own body kit, that is what i have been using mostly. There is more selection of paint to paint your ride, custumize it with decals add wings from mild to wild. Carbon fiber parts play a big factor in this game for some reason.
The world is freaking HUGE! 4 cities all connected by highways and bi-ways! Kudos to EA for making such a large world to drive in. You will be in the city driving, jump on the highway and next thing you know your driving to the country , then to the ocean side, then through some small town on the way to the next city. The overall look reminds me of Burnout paradise.
The game is like Most Wanted , if you like Most Wanted you will love this game!
Think of NFS Undercover as Most Wanted 2.0.
Well here are the pics of my Silvia, this is the car I started my career out with. I have in my stable a RX-7, Audi TT, Porsche 911 GT2, and currently that I am driving a heavily modified Gallardo! I get pics of all of them shortly.

The S15 has a timeless look to it, one of the better designs from Nissan, some times they just get right, and sometimes they just get it wrong when it comes to designing cars. The S15 is one design they got it right from scratch!

It's pretty fun but it does get chunky when there's a lot on the screen. I really wish they'd license the Meister's if they're going to use Work wheels, every game I've played has practically every Work wheel except mine 
I have the PS3 version, is there some secret to connecting to EA online? What's with the EA HD menu also? I haven't looked into all that yet, just wondering if someone else already did.

Nice. Simple, clean. I like your style. Though it looks like that wheel is a 24??? wayyyy too big.
I'm glad to hear it is like Most Wanted. Carbon was terrible, imo. Didn't play ProStreet.
Hopefully Santa will come through with this one.

, unfortunately this game doesn't tell you the size of the rims like Midnight Club. Carbon was a let down as it felt unfinished....
Pro street , I almost broke the disc because that game just sucked so badly!
That had to be the worst NFS game ever!

The previous NFS games always gave you at least a few size options when purchasing.
So U/C doesn't let you select the rim size?
Or where those the wheels it came with?
(not that it would stop me from getting this game anyway . . .

You can alter diameter, rim width, offset, and tire width with slider bar's that go from 0- 100%. What puzzles me is the fact that I've found no way to actually lower your car no matter what level of suspension you put on it. You have to put huge rims on it to make it even look lowered.

that is driving me bonkers! I can't find a way either, what good is upgraded suspension in the virtual world if you can't drive around tucking tire etc. ?

I didn't notice this before Daily, but you have almost the exact same lineup I did. RX-8, Audi TT, RX-7, 911 GT-2, Gallardo, Lotus Elise, 370Z - that was the first round. I started the career again to get different cars (can't earn enough money) and now have only Escort Cosworth, Toyota Supra so far. I wish I would have taken pics of the earlier cars.

Agreed. It has good stuff like nice menu interfaces, high quality video cut scenes, decent car selection, great cop radio audio, decent road layouts and the cop chases can be fun but you never get enough money to buy and tune the all the cars you would want (especially since the game is so short)(oh - but you can spend more real money and buy the cars/parts you want though Playstation Store as if you would want to spend more money beyond the $60 you already dropped for this trash), the framerate/sense of speed on PS3 is absolutely pathetic and inexcusable on a modern $60 game from a company as big as EA (almost stops when you have 2 or more cars on the screen)(I mean the game is called Need For Speed - what speed?), you have the same 2 ugly-*** body kits from the previous 2 or 3 NFS games, 5% of the tunability/customization that Midnight Club has, when you activate nitrous on your car you don't soar past the opponents like you think you would - you just stay in the same relative position, no dash views, you can be doing 230 mph and a Cop SUV will blow by you like you are standing still - just a lot of stupid stuff. The game could have been so much more but it looks as if it was rushed and never polished or completed - typical modern NFS series just banking off of their name w/ no substance to back it up. Some fun can be had in the cop chases but the horrible execution of the graphics spoils this completely. Midnight Club LA makes this game almost worthless.
