I don't know - the game kind of grows on you.

-Yes the bloom and blur is way over done. Just write it off as "adrenaline effect".

-The cutscene style is better than Most Wanted in my opinion, but the story still sucks just as bad.

-The music tracks are better - they moved away from the black gangster rap and emo-screamo shit to more instrumental tracks.

-The rubberbanding cheating AI is still there - just a copy/paste job from Most Wanted.

The big downfall for me is that there's no dynamic weather, I want rain! Sad

No its not as good as Most Wanted - but MW always seemed to crash for me towards the end during 15-20 minute long pursuits, so its not really an option.


I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

It's also funny that even though after every single (recent) NFS installment a wast majority of the players complain about the gooey roads, they still use it. This pretty much sums up their desing-philosophy. "Make the game flashy but pay no attention to constructive criticism."

I wonder why it's so shiny. Did a nasal mucus transport got hit or something? Coz I don't see any rain in the game...

apparently they fired most of the devs who worked on Most wanted , which was surprisingly a good game
this is really bad , don't even think about paying for it

not quite right.
i'm pretty sure i wouldn't like this, so i won't play it and i won't bitch about it either, because it's not my type.
but someone who enjoys this genre, someone who hoped this would be good and then realized it's actually shit, has every right to bitch about it.

i waited for simon the sorcerer 4 for fuck knows how many years. it came out, it was horrible and i felt like throwing bricks through the windows of the company that fucked it up Rolling Eyes

Haha it's not the crack problem. Watch review on gametrailers, X360/PS3 version has the same exact problems, shitty FPS and stuttering, horribly looking shadows and glitches everywhere in that generic empty city. The game is just digshit Evil or Very Mad

Cracks only bypass protection. It's kinda silly that you think they affect visuals.

well , NFS truly went down the shite ..
after Porsche they came started fucking up with Hot Pursuit 2 , Underground was ok , but it started to show that they dont have any original ideas anymore .. Most Wanted was good , it brought back some of the feeling of the older games .. but aside from MW , the rest is pure crap .
i'd rather play a fun game and this wannabe shit , i'd rather play NFS 4 , Porsche than this , fuck the graphics , those games can still teach these newer ones lessons in gameplay

Hmm, all this Undercover bashing makes me want to try it even more. Not to see it if it's good, but to see it if it's worse than NFS: Crapon Smile I actually liked PronStreet, maybe it was because Carbon was so bad (played it 2 hours). Finished every other NFS, except Underground 2 (played couple days) and ProStreet (something like 80%).

Not in a mood to play a bad game though, but what can you do.

well the next method works everytime i do it...u must do this crap everytime u wanna play...

so start the game and play, then alt-tab or ctrl-esc u get off to the desktop.
--press ctrl-alt-del and u get that specific window
--go to processes and right click nfs.exe
--u have an option there something with the afinity(i have my xp in my own language so i guess afinity is the english word Very Happy)
--deselect 1 of your cores from the cpu and press ok
--right click again nfs.exe and again click the afinity shit and reselect back that core that u deselected before and click ok
--then fuckin play

As i said the method works everytime for me...Before i had very annoying stuttering ,even 10-15 fps in the menus lol on a 4850. Now on the menus it never drops below 70 fps and in racing never below 30-35 fps....I also installed the 8.11 ati drivers(dont know if had any effect)..

The Affinity trick does actually help... No lag in menus, and a lot less lag in game. It's actually playable now. Christ on a stick, that needs a patch NOW. :/

Affinity works? LOL, so this game have the same dual core problem Most Wanted has? WOW! they used the old engine and didn't updated it for multiple cores? I just can't believe it! that problem was fixed in Carbon, AFAIK.

Why would you think this NFS use MW engine? To me everything points to prostreet engine: command prompt window pops up before game goes full screen, handling is almost identical, smoke effects look almost identical.

I think they ALL use the same engine, all the way back from Underground 1 with graphical enhancements each release. The car's behave just as they did in Underground. Laughing

BTW, the dual core problem happens to me in XP only, not in Vista. I am talking about Most Wanted. That make me think the people having problems are the ones still using XP.

Edit: Well, I forgot to say the XP machine has a Pentium Dual Core, and the Vista has a Core 2 Duo.

I agree that it seems very unlikely it's using the MW engine. The graphics, the handling, the "feeling", it just feels nothing like Most Wanted or even Carbon (Carbon was definitely using an upgraded MW engine). Undercovers seems to be using the PS2 engine or something.

The graphics are bad, BAD BAD shadows, AA even at 8 sucks a lot. Cars are pretty, races are too easy. In the stock 240sx they gave me i was pretty much going through every race and barely using brakes and making cars like the camaro and other cars look like turtles.
