Review - NFS Undercover

After showing you previews a y otra Once, you already have the review of the great game available Need For Speed: Undercover.

Lately we are getting used to a series of games that despite being quite addictive (like Flight Control) lack graphics that particularly attract our attention. However, in recent days, with the appearance of games like Terminator, Tiger Woods PGA Tour '09 and Siberian Strike, it seems that the quality of games for the iPhone / iPod Touch is growing in a very interesting way.

With games of this style, it is not surprising that more than one considers the iPhone / iPod Touch as just another video game console. And the truth is that nothing has to envy other portable consoles like the Nintendo DS to give a simple example.

From the different news about the launch of Need For Speed: Undercover, we all had different expectations: will it have amazing graphics? Will it be better than the rest of the car games I know so far?

Well, the answer is simple. NFS:Undercover it fulfills all the expectations that we could have about him. Without a doubt, this is the best car game that has been created to date. Very careful and realistic graphics, incredible sound effects, very high doses of gameplay. In short, the guys from EA they have done a very good job.

First of all, comment that the game controls are similar to the rest of the car games that we have known lately. To control our car we will use the accelerometer that our device incorporates.

NFS:Undercover It also includes a series of levels that are out of the ordinary. Apart from being able to carry out races, there are several levels in which our mission will be to destroy (literally) the cars of our rivals, as well as those of the police (do not apply this to real life, you will not get very good results).

Another type of game that exists is to escape a police chase, but with a good objective, to recover and deliver a series of stolen cars.
As for missions in general, we will receive special instructions through short video sequences from an attractive young lady: Miss Chase Linh.

In the graphic aspect of the game we have to take our hat off to him. It is a game that makes the most of the graphic resources of the iPhone / iPod Touch. You can see even the underside of the cars when they roll over or suffer an accident. They are absolutely amazing.

Continuing with the graphic section, and in order not to lose that spark that have the titles of Need for Speed, We tune our cars at leisure. exist kits to change the overall shape of the car, spoilers to give it a more aerodynamic touch, special paintings, and a lot of extras that we can include in our sports car. All of them very careful and realistic.

To finish with the graphic aspect, we will be able to realize how well done the racing scenarios are. The trees, posters, lampposts and the rest of the environment are cared for down to the smallest detail.
When we are immersed in the middle of a race, we will be able to realize the sensation of speed thanks to the graphics, once again. When using the nitro, the view of the road is spectacular, and that is where we will notice the sensation of speed more than ever.

Speaking now of the sound effects of the game, they do not have any waste either.
There is a very well chosen collection of rock songs that will accompany us as background music during our games.

During the races we will also hear the noise of the engine of the car next door if it is close enough, as well as the helicopter and the police sirens. With so much noise involved, we won't even notice the background music. Despite this, it does not bother at all when driving.

As with Myst, we recommend that you play this game with headphones on, or plugging in some good speakers to the headphone output of your iPhone / iPod Touch, since only using the iPhone or iPod Touch 2G speakers will not be appreciated significantly great sound effects.

If we can do something complain de NFS:Undercover, it would not include the multiplayer option. Today, many other games include it, without further problems. However, the game has such high playability that that option will not cross our minds, taking into account the number of options that the game includes, racing modes, tuning of cars, etc.

Regarding its price, it is € 7,99. It may pull us back, but from here we encourage you to try it. If you like car racing, and have ever tried a game from the collection of Need for SpeedIt will not disappoint you, I assure you.

As a summary, tell you that there are 20 different cars to choose from, among which we highlight the Porsche Carrera GT, Nissan 370Z (Z34), Lamborghini Gallardo and Pagani Zonda F. Each of them will have their pros and cons in terms of car control, cornering stability, acceleration, etc. In the end, as in any car game, we will be left with the one we are most comfortable with.

Here is a video with which you can see the game in action:
