First details on Need for Speed: Undercover

Electronic Arts confirmed that on August 14 at the company's Studio Showcase "location" in California, the veil of secrecy was lifted on the next game in the Need for Speed series – Undercover.
«Need for Speed Undercover will return the series to its roots, and we will again see breathtaking police chases, the hottest cars and thrilling battles on high-speed highways» - EA noted.
A massive promotion of the game is scheduled for the coming weekend. Film actress and top model Maggie Q (Мэгги Кью) will take part in it as one of the game's main characters, thanks to whom we will move through the Undercover plot.

The game will be presented next week in Leipzig (Germany), at the Games Convention exhibition, which will run from August 20 to 24, 2008.

So, the details! We will play the role of an undercover police officer (how unexpected! ), tasked with becoming "one of their own" in an international criminal syndicate.
The main storyline is built on missions, where we will have to take on "cases" and, by completing racing missions, prove our suitability for the criminal world.
Only one person knows that you are a police officer - your only contact with the "outside world", and that person is played by Maggie Q.
For now, Electronic Arts is not revealing many plot details, but maybe that's not such a bad thing?!
Undercover is ready to bring us cinematic trailers and a plot worthy of Hollywood? Well, let's see! Although even now it is clear how similar it is to Most Wanted!
