With Undercover though, I thought the story was really crappy and even more so of how it was portrayed. What started to annoy me was the camera shots of Maggie Q. She is a very beautiful woman and a great actor, so don't get me wrong. At some points, I thought the producer of these vids had some foot fetish.
I really hope it fixes the framerate issues. I am currently running a 4870 512MB OCed and a E7300 CPU. This rig can play World in Conflict and Supreme Commander just fine at 1680 x 1050, with AA off and texture settings relatively high.
Overall, I don't hate it unlike many of past fans here. I know the NFS series can be brought back, it is just a matter of time.
However, if the next title just pisses me off as much as you guys with Undercover, I too will ditch the NFS series.

Not the best mobile control scheme IMO, but it definitly looks nice.

People like my dad, who naturally lean their whole bodies and move the controller in their hands in the direction they want a car to turn in a video game, will feel right at home.

I'm digging the graphics, but thats generally all I've been able to say about the Need for Speed games over the past couple of years anyways.
I'm an iPhone boob, so I don't know about these things, but is it possible to plug in a little keypad or something? After reading about how the car is gassed all the time (Im assuming because of a lack of buttons), this inability to have buttons has to be severely limiting some of the games that could be made on this powermonster of a 'phone'.

Well, I did thought Carbon was almost a disaster. xD

I haven't been interested in a NFS game since then for that reason. I think my favorite in the series was Porsche Unleashed, but that could just make me weird.

Man Underground 2 was so much hotter with the pick up races you can find just driving around town I miss those. I miss the customization of Underground 1. I liked the cop chases in Most Wanted but still wanted it to be better. Skipped Carbon, Skipped PRo street, I still laugh Loudly when i think how Garnett Lee was so bullish on Pro street on 1up.
I'll be skipping this or pirating it, surely not going to pay EA for it.

It's everything an arcade racer should be and the development team continues to support it after being released almost a year ago.

Even though EA has 2 development teams working on the NFS franchise now, somehow the games are still a pile of trash.
