I wanted to leave this as a reminder that this game exists for those who stumble across my review cause you can't get this on steam anymore.
Need for Speed Undercover was one of the best ideas in the NFS franchise but was executed so poorly, due to a rushed development and other bad design choices i can't recommend this game to anyone who isn't already a "hardcore" NFS fan. Buggy physics, dodgy graphical glitches, the over the top bloom that just melts your eyes most of the time are really not doing this game any favors.
Driving itself is not that good compared to last entries tbh but it's fun, it gets to the point that some cars have so much grip that it's stupidly fun to corner at 200+ km/h with nitro without slowing down.
Story is so corny that it's funny but it has grown so much on me that i like it after all these years hahaha.
I played this game a lot back with my best friend, so when i say nostalgia is playing a big role that is true, i will forever love and enjoy playing this game even with all its flaws.
And besides good memories it also introduced me to a plethora of new music artists like Pendulum, Justice, From First To Last and Underworld just to name a few, like really, soundtrack in this game freakin slaps.
So yeah, got nothing more to say other than i love this game, a gem of my childhood that i will keep replaying :)
