This isn’t to say the Hollywood influence is good on this occasion, but you could find yourself endeared more than you should be about the presentation this time out.Īnd that brings us to the worst example of Need For Speed’s love affair with Hollywood. Despite its absurdity it’s almost so bad it’s good – not saying it’s The Room of videogame cutscenes – but there’s some positive relief to be had if you don’t mind the B-movie tat. In this Need For Speed you play as a camera, where you essentially make friends with a group of McDonalds employees, who love their rides and mucking about. Aptly speaking, NFS Undercover boasts very few qualities, but the cutscenes are enough to leave you desperate for oxygen.Įlsewhere, the 2015 Need For Speed admittedly does a better job at rolling out cinematic junk food, but once again the cutscenes feel detached from the racing experience you undertake.

It’s best to break the windows and squeeze yourself out of the frame while you can. Need For Speed: Undercover is like sitting in an Audi TT with nothing but carbon monoxide gas and some flirtatious pinups. Not content at stopping there, the cringe-inducingly cliched representations of Hispanics are so distasteful to hear, you may instead opt to contact your local audiologist to remove traces of left over turgid dialogue. But instead they do a greater job of coming off as multi-second spurts of flatulent, where you’re vaguely given some context – but none of your actions in the game are reflected upon in the cinematics – making you a tool who can’t speak let alone object to this dreadfully designed husk of a game.
The garishly abhorrent ‘voice acting’ of the title, fronted by a sexually seductive fatale who talks at you in pre-rendered cutscenes, tries to immerse you in its webbed criminal underworld. Need For Speed: Undercover is one example of a downward trajectory for the acclaimed NFS series. In the past decade the clinging and cloying of the Need For Speed franchise’s attempts at cuddling up to Hollywood has seen a myriad of ill-fitting grabs at replicating the spectacle and the drama of a blockbuster – ending up as roadkill B-movie dross that only serves to embarrass a once great series. Somebody please tell EA and the developers under their wing to halt the Hollywood presentations in several of their games.
