I had the money to by a Ford GT at the end, but I was a bit too attached to my Viper to get it.Īs I was saying earlier, the plot in the game is somewhat unique. My car path through the game was Pontiac Firebird, Mittsubishi Lancer Evo, Dodge Viper. The available cars range from bad to good, foreign to domestic. The newer versions of the game, including this one, allow for a variety of car customizations, from paint jobs to nitro upgrades, and car types, all from real car models. There is definitely more of an emphasis on fun than of simulation, allowing you to run head on into cars with no real issue other than the time wasted watching your car get knocked over. Each game has a somewhat unique plot, but all heavily lean on the sense of speed and urgency to push along the gameplay.
#Nfs undercover reviews series#
The Need For Speed Series has been going strong since 1994 on consoles, with a new version coming out every year or so. I'm sure glad I jumped on it too, because it is, without a doubt, the best game on my iPhone. Being a fan of big releases though made me quickly jump on the opportunity to review this one. I had been reading the previews for NFS on our site and was pretty excited about its release, but racing games, iPhone racing games in particular, are usually not my cup of tea. It turns out that the big app I was waiting for was going to come out the very next day. Bryan told me to be patient and that the next big thing will inevitably come. For being so new to the game, I commend the developers for all the great games that have come out, but I really wanted to see a game that would raise the bar in terms of graphics and gameplay, something that would make people ok with spending $10 on an app. In my mind, the iPhone could (and should) be considered a gaming console that rivals the Nintendo DS and the Sony PSP, but at the moment it just stands in most peoples minds at the top of the mobile device gaming market. In a nutshell, I was concerned about the mediocrity that people were coming to expect when they pick up iPhone games. Just two days ago I was talking to Bryan (our editor) about the state of iPhone gaming.
