This was the game where black box started struggling massively under EA and it all went downhill but there’s something about it that sticks in my head. Its a windows aero fever dream of a game that to this day is still ridiculously heavy to run. The handling is horrible, half the game mechanics are not even explained, the ai is barely 1 step above big rigs and the soundtrack is wank. And yet it lives rent free in my head
funniest thing about it is how the ps2 version used the map from most wanted.
Atleast we got the "Very dangerous" from it
Also undercover is raw copaganda, unlike most need for speed games where the story establishes that the police are crooked.
