As a fan of NFS: Underground 2 and especially of NFS: Most Wanted, I just had to get this game. My friend got it for the Xbox 360 and said it was 'just like Most Wanted'. True enough, the gameplay is very similar and it features a lot of the best elements from Underground 2 and from Most Wanted. Now for the bad part . . .
The graphics. The in game graphics are so bad, I was seriously thinking about returning this game and getting the PC version. Even trucks appear out of nowhere and the only way to tell that a vehicle is approaching is by looking for their shadows on the ground - it's ridiculous.
How come Nintendo seem able to produce super shiny graphics for their consoles, but 3rd party companies can't? This isn't a new phenomenon either - remember Mario 64 and Wave Race 64? Groundbreaking stuff at the time, but the 3rd party games never came anywhere close.
I actually made the statement that the graphics were worse than on Most Wanted on the Gamecube, but then I put that on the Wii to see if I was right. well, Most Wanted was in lower resolution and looked a bit grainier, but the detail level was better than this game. Undercover has more pixels and is shinier, but the graphics are only marginally better than those on the Gamecube. How can this be possible? Did Nintendo forget to tell EA something, I wonder . . ?
In summation: DISAPPOINTING!!!
Game is good, i would recommend using a steering wheel attachment for the remote when playing this game just for the ease of controlling your car. Is great when you're trying to escape from police cars. Fair enough graphics aren't great but it's not everything, to be honest i don't even care about graphics as long as i can see what i'm doing, which you can.
Good graphics and gameplay, but annoying (cars appear out of nowhere... Literally!) most wanted still better but still a challenge.
Got this game with high expectations and its ok .was hoping it would carry on were most wanted left off ( brill game ) carbon was ok and pro was rubbish.have only been playing for about 5 or 6 hours and already completed 22% on career mode,at that rate will be trading the game after a couple of days !!!.game is just starting to get interesting as now have to do boss chases in my police car,which is pretty cool and adds a nice new element to gameplay.also like the way you can jump to the next race virtually straight away.i think the graphics are ok for a wii game.overall 6/7 for me at moment.........
Graphics?Ther's nothing wrong with the graphics,I didn't buy my game from play.com if it makes any difference but the graphics are great.Comparing this game to need for speed:pro street,it's great pro street on ps2 put me off need for speed and car racing games.Any way this game is great career mode is good,you can do the missions or just run away from the police.Don't be put off by the other reviews I think thew graphics are good,good cars,easy to drive,Great game!
