NFS: Undercover Goes Gold

The newest game in the always popular Need For Speed series has been finished, or as they say in the industry, ‘gone gold’.

This new addition to the NFS family adds new elements to the series, such as a story. That’s right, a story in a racing game, I won’t go into details here, but it sounds very Fast and the Furious. For more details on the game, check out our preview and our interview with John Doyle, the producer of Undercover.

Here’s the PR guff, if you want even more text.

Need for Speed Undercover has players racing through speedways, dodging cops and chasing rivals as they go deep undercover to take down an International crime syndicate. The new game heralds the return of high-intensity police chases and introduces the all-new ‘Heroic Driving Engine’ - a unique technology that generates incredible high-performance moves at 180 miles per hour during breathtaking highway battles.

Need for Speed Undercover is being developed by Black Box in Vancouver, B.C., and is slated to be in stores in North America on November 18 and in Europe on November 21. The game will be available for Xbox 360a video game and entertainment system, PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system, and Wii as well as the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, Nintendo DS, PSP (PlayStation Portable) handheld entertainment system, PC and mobile.
