Sometimes you won't have to do anything at all to evade police-the game says "go" and you stay still and nobody finds you. The environmental hazards that you can unleash certainly look cool and are effective, but quite often you won't see any police cars get hit by the objects, yet when the cutscene ends the cars are trashed. It's too bad that some odd quirks hamper the cop chases. Of course, you don't always have to ram cars to take them down you can also run into log trucks, electrical towers, billboards, and more to leave a little surprise for your pursuers. The challenges in which you must ram and take out a certain number of police cars are great fun, as are the challenges where you must cause a certain monetary sum of damage. The cops are back in full effect in Undercover, and for the most part, their return is welcome. You'll use it because it's useful, though, not because it gets you heroic driving points. That said, the new J-Turn mechanic, which lets you bust quick 180s, is invaluable when chasing down rivals or evading the cops. The game also encourages you to drive with style and drift, draft, and drive really close to other cars, but other than increasing your nitrous there's little to gain from doing so. As long as you drive fast you'll probably dominate, but there are occasional races where you'll totally obliterate the time needed to dominate an event, but you'll still lose to the CPU. You can power up a number of your driving attributes, but they don't have a noticeable effect on how your car handles. Not only will you earn money for winning an event, you'll earn driving points for dominating it-basically beating it really, really bad. If you're into tuning individual aspects of your ride or purchasing individual parts you can do that, but if you're not into tinkering you can purchase an upgrade package and be on your way. As you progress you'll earn cash, which can be used to unlock (50+) new vehicles from manufacturers such as Nissan, Dodge, Cadillac, Ford, Porsche, Lamborghini, BMW, Aston Martin, Mitsubishi, and more. You'll start with a lousy vehicle, but it won't be long before you're able to snag a pink slip to a nicer ride. Like many other Need for Speed games, all of your racing will take place on the streets of a fictitious open-world city-here it's the Tri-City Bay area. It won't be easy-we'll have to use our powers of acting to take down the street racers. Now Playing: Need for Speed Undercover Video Review 1 By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's
