    after the big flop of NFS prostreet, I'd expect undercover to save NFS. I was quite excited about the game and yet it is just a poorly coded rush job that recycles game play from NFS most wanted, card models from NFS carbon while have its graphics a lot worse than Prostreet. looks like its my last NFS game. a complete waste of 50 bucks. I'm going back to GRID

    I cant belive how poorly coded the game is, I mean it looks no where near as good as pro street, yet with my desktop which is able to run prostreet maxed 50fps, am getting 20-35fps on mid settings. just WOW no clue what those developers was thinking. worst game I have played this year for sure

    Who would like to buy a game like this which is getting consistently poor reviews. My Nfs experiences ended with Carbon.

    the perofromance is ****. it looks like carbon/most wanted graphics, while my desktop hd 3650 can barely run it at medium at 1024x768 res. in comparison pro street I can run maxed no AA at constant 50fps. the game is poorly coded

    I would like to have a face-to-face with the lead designer whom signed off on the terrific idea to scrap the player's garage and make all the races a "click" away. And by terrific, I mean "hell-a-stupid"!

    There is literally no incentive for the player to explore the city -- everything, be it the customization of the cars or the engaging of races and challenges, is a button click away.

    Such a pitiful excuse, and a waste of development dollars.
