    I got it yesterday from Game.
    Not played enough to get into it but it does suffer from some frame-rate issues.. although installing to the hard drive sorted most of them

    Only heard bad things about this on all platforms tbh. Shame, I like the NFS series in general, but the last 3 games have left me wanting.

    The last NFS game I liked was Underground 2, hopefully this will be similar.

    Re: Need for speed undercover thread

    Managed to do a bit of jiggery-pokery with a cheap Saints Row 2 from Argos, and picked this up. Will give it a shot, I enjoyed MW, the others kinda sucked. But I've been crying out for an arcade racer that's as gripping as MW was (for me).

    So we'll see...

    Re: Need for speed undercover thread

    the graphics are horrible! even with every setting as high as it can go. Pacman is actually better than this!

    FRAPS won't work with it either

    Framerate is still dodgy (360) but it looks and plays like MW, or has so far. Which for me is a good thing!

    Track races with laps and none of this sandbox crap like in Midnight Club. So far so good here.

    Re: Need for speed undercover thread

    just had another blast. framerates more noticeable than MW i think, might not be any different, could just be length of time since I last played MW.

    apart from that, i can see me getting hooked again!

    Re: Need for speed undercover thread

    i got mine today.

    framerate is very poor on the 360, i have seen less stuttering in a gareth gates interview.

    gameplay seems ok though and installing on the hard drive helped alot

    Re: Need for speed undercover thread

    There's been an update released today, not sure what it fixes. But having played more today, it's definitely MW1.5/2.0 in my opinion.

    Framerate, is worse than MW. But... it's my kind of racer!
