*/Need for Speed: Undercover feels like a great and fun game already,
though we do get the feeling that a large amount of that appeal is going
to rely on how interesting the open world is. The fact that it feels and
looks like playing another EA game isn't a huge problem.

What is a potential problem though is that the game may have lost its
feeling of being a street racer and unknowingly replaced it with a more
comic, crash-based mechanic. That isn't all that bad in itself but which
may disappoint fans who come to //Need for Speed: Undercover expecting
one thing only to find another.

There's still time left before //Need for Speed: Undercover releases
though and no matter how you look at it it's still shaping up to be one
hell of a game. With a few more tweaks and an open world that's
interesting enough, it's possible that //Undercover could be our new
most wanted.

*Cheers guys!
