PlayStation 2 Version of the Game
A little about the PS2 version
Probably all owners of a Sony PlayStation 2 have already played Need for Speed Undercover on this popular console. I am one of those people and I have prepared a little article about Need For Speed Undercover on PlayStation 2! Read on for the pros of the game...
"Pros" of the game:
-Pleasant graphics
-Decent tuning with autosculpt
-Police in expensive cars
-Game mode as a cop
-Lots of vinyls
-Two-player game
We launch the game. We watch the EA and EA Black Box logos... Then we watch (or skip) the video... Then we press the Start button... After launching the game, in the game menu sits our favorite black-and-red Porsche 911 GT2 with a unique body kit! We go into free roam... The function to call the cops has appeared! We wait 5 seconds and the cops are right there! When you have no money you can easily earn some cash in the game as a cop! And if you're in a Camaro SS and the cops are in a Porsche 911 GT2, then get an energy drink ready! You won't be sleeping for long! Buy a second controller and play Getaway with friends in two-player mode! You won't regret it! Read about the cons right after this sentence...
"Cons" of the game:
-Small car list compared to the PS3, XBOX 360 and PC versions
-No damage
-Simplistic interface
-No photo mode
-Lots of glitches and unfinished bits
-Engine from Need For Speed Carbon
We boot up the game... We go into the garage and see... There are very few cars in the car list! And that really kills you... We go into free roam... An unfinished bit (But a pleasant unfinished bit!): When respawning, the cops don't arrest you right away like in Carbon and MW! You respawn and hit the gas with nitro! Moving on... Some cool moments... You want to look and take a screenshot but then you see... There's no our favorite photo mode! But the PS2 version also has its own pros, which you can read about below...
Differences from the PS3, XBOX 360 and PC versions:
-There is a new unique body kit for the Porsche 911 GT2
-More tuning parts (Hoods, body kits, bumpers, etc.)
-Police in Lamborghini Gallardo, Porsche 911 GT2, Ford Mustang GT
-Lamborghini Gallardo (Not LP-560) present in the car list
The PS2 version has a unique body for the Porsche 911 GT2! But other versions of the game don't have it! I think this is related to autosculpt... Since on the PS2 version the tuning is like in Carbon, and on the others it's like in ProStreet.
Let's look deeper...
-When in a chase with cops, if you drive over spikes with all wheels it's not that scary!
-More destructibles
-Cops have become more aggressive
-The control buttons have changed
I liked the game... Especially the function to turn off all gauges! (Speedometer, map, etc.) The game map is very similar to the map of Need For Speed Most Wanted! But now there's no way you'll beat up cops in a slow car! More likely it'll be the other way around! And by the way. After driving over spikes several times I could easily get away from the cops... . Probably anyone who played the game wondered: "Why is there no damage?! In Porsche Unleashed, Hot Pursuit 2 there was!" There's no answer to this question... Enjoy the little scratches :) And I was already scared that the cops had no damage either... I was pleased by the similarity of the plot to the plot on PC! But the absence of the McLaren theft mission wasn't very pleasing... I liked accelerating very fast and flying over the fountain! You'll definitely hit 6-9 thousand RPM! Probably all PlayStation 2 owners think: "Eh... Probably NFS 13 won't come out on PS2!" But don't be sad! Maybe... But with EA everything is predictable:
PlayStation 1: Parts 1,2,3,4,5
PlayStation 2: Parts 6,7,8,9,10,11,12
PlayStation 3: Parts 11,12
PS3 seems to be popular already but expensive compared to PS2... We'll see what EA comes up with! The game is worth about 7.6 out of 10 points...
Well, I think I've told everything I know... As soon as I buy an Acekard 2 card for the Nintendo DS, expect a review right away!
