well, after sink down of Pro street Last EA lunched a new NFS named
NEED for speed Undercover.
Unfortunately. this game is getting the same way.
BTW. I loved and played NFS series. played it from the NFS 1.
here s the review from
ign.com
Need for Speed is as much a Christmas regular as Santa these days, sowhat exactly is EA stuffing down our chimneys this year? Good question.Need for Speed Undercoveris a transparent attempt to capitalise on the success of 2005's MostWanted after ProStreet (or, as we like to call it, No Street) fell onits face. Undercover brings back the cops, the chases and the pursuitbreakers from Most Wanted, inserts an undercover cop and Maggie Q and…well, actually, that's about it.
The game itself is fairly straightforward. Drive fast. Win money.Buy cars. It's a simple formula, but it generally works. The racing isfast and fun (freeway races are a real highlight, seriously). Buthere's the rub – the skidmarks from Most Wanted haven't even faded and Black Box are bringing us a carbon copy of it.
The biggest problem with Undercover is located just under the surfacesheen, and it strikes at the very core of the game. It's simple. Wejust can't see what it is about Undercover that has kept Black Box busyfor 12 months. We don't want to trivialise the amount of work thatobviously goes into building a fully functional videogame – it's notour intention to sound like spoilt children asking why the Christmasstocking is only half full. However, when you break Undercover down toits parts the shortcuts begin to show.

but i can say that.
I loved it. and thanks to EA for this.
The turn around time on these types of games and the quality that is produced with the extend turn around do not seem to go hand in hand. I would expect if they can produce a decent game in 4 months they should be able to exceed expectations w/12 months on dev time.
