Need for Speed Undercover Torrent

In Need for Speed Undercover Torrent, you act as an undercover agent. Alongside agent Chase Linh, played by the attractive Maggie Q, your task is to stop a group of street racers who are somehow involved in an international smuggling operation. The story is told through exaggerated scenes that fail to capture the appeal of Most Wanted due to uninteresting characters and a predictable plot. While having a story gives you a reason to continue from race to race, the attempt to make it seem “cheesy but cool” feels a bit forced this time.

Like many other Need for Speed games, all your races happen on the streets of a made-up city—here it’s the Tri-City Bay area. You begin with a basic car, but soon you can win a better one. As you advance, you earn money, which lets you unlock (50+) new cars from brands like Nissan, Dodge, Cadillac, Ford, Porsche, Lamborghini, BMW, Aston Martin, Mitsubishi, and more. If you like customizing your car or buying parts individually, you can do that. Alternatively, you can purchase a package upgrade and be on your way.

Not only do you get money for winning a race, but you also get driving points for dominating it—basically, beating it very convincingly. You can enhance several driving skills, but they don’t seem to affect how your car handles much. As long as you drive fast, you’ll likely dominate, although there are races where you’ll finish well ahead of the time needed to dominate but still lose to the CPU. The game encourages stylish driving, like drifting and drafting, but aside from getting more nitrous, there’s not much to gain from it. However, the new J-Turn mechanic, allowing quick 180-degree turns, is helpful when chasing rivals or escaping the cops.

NFS Undercover isn’t just about defying authority. There are events where you need to maintain a lead for a specific time or distance ahead of your opponent. Sometimes you’ll have to evade the cops while keeping a stolen car undamaged, and there are also checkpoint races and circuit races. There’s not much originality here, and the races are generally quite easy—you might not see another car for an entire race once you’ve started. They can be challenging occasionally, mainly due to occasional frame rate issues, which make the otherwise well-handling cars a bit difficult to drive.

Need for Speed Undercover Torrent does a few things very well. The online cops and robbers mode, where one player collects money while another tries to stop them, is a lot of fun. But what the game does best is its pacing. The races are short—sometimes as brief as 20 seconds, and rarely longer than five minutes. Another neat feature is the ability to instantly jump to the closest race by pressing down on the D-pad.
