Need For Speed news

Today EA Mobile released the long-awaited version of Need for Speed Undercover for iPhone and iPod Touch. After months of hard work, the company has brought a mobile game to market that guarantees plenty of excitement. Here is what Levi Buchanan of IGN.com says: “The game is exceptionally fast, especially when using the touch-screen nitrous button. Moreover, the graphics surpass anything you have seen on iPhone so far.”

We asked the folks at EA Mobile to send us information about the game’s features and, we must admit, we were impressed. Here is what awaits us:
• You can control the car by changing the tilt angle of your phone or player.
• Activation of Nitrous boost (nitro boost) and Speedbreaker (speed breaker) is triggered by touch.
• There are eight race modes, including Highway Battle, Sprint and Cop Takeout.
• There is a choice of 20 cars, including the Porsche Carrera GT and Lamborghini Gallardo.
• Incredible 3D graphics and a wide camera angle deliver a stunning effect.
• 24 covert assignments give access to challenging secret missions, each of which is displayed on an interactive map.
• You can earn bonuses to stats such as Speed, Boost, Acceleration and Handling.
• To upgrade your car, there are additional wheels, spoilers, tuning kits and paint schemes.
• Missions and updates are presented as cinematic-quality clips. Detective Chase Lin is played by Hollywood star Maggie Q!

Such a list simply cannot disappoint. We can't wait to try it all on our iPhone! To get the game, download iTunes and head to the App Store.

Today a memorable event took place for all of us! On the site beloved by all of us nfs.place the three-thousandth user has registered under the nickname racer0444! Let's congratulate the lucky one! Everyone knows that it was today he was incredibly lucky to join our ranks, and even in such an interesting (to put it mildly) way.

Comment from Ralor-a
In life there are different things - work and rest, good and evil, love and hate, NFS and ConterStrike, etc. and so on. But the thing is that different people like different things and they find this SOMETHING that suits their taste. In one of the categories of human interests, which we are used to calling internet there is a lot of interesting things. For example, websites, search engines, making money online and many, very many other things. BUT, however, out of millions of terabytes of the world wide web, a whole 3000 people chose our nfs.place ! Isn't that amazing? Yes, there are sites with more people registered - 20, 30, 40 thousand, but to know that such a large company has gathered on our little patch of this world too - that's a wonderful feeling...

We dug thoroughly through the archives and found an option for a new challenge — this one should be a bit harder. Although no prize is offered for the correct answer, your name will appear on the site. It's also a great way to test your knowledge of cars.
Let's get down to business.

We congratulate the participant named Alexander Albert — the first person to submit the correct answer last week. Yes, it really was Chevrolet Cobalt SS. We'll post a hint announcement on Twitter, so if you want to stay ahead, add Follow@NeedforSpeed to your friends feed on this site. Send your version of the car name in the picture above to: Drew@NeedforSpeed.com.

Over the past few weeks we've talked a lot about Undercover content, and today we're happy to announce that Challenge Series and Boss Car Bundle are now available for PS3.
In addition to a great new mode and new cars, the Challenge Series pack includes PS3 trophy support. Especially cool is that the support is retroactive: the code checks your progress in your saved game, automatically determines which awards you've already won, and then rewards you.
Challenge Series and Boss Car Bundle will soon be released for Xbox 360 and PC. We'll announce details as soon as we know the exact date.
