About the Game
Need for Speed: Undercover is the 12th installment of the series and puts players in the shoes of an undercover cop who needs to infiltrate and destroy an international crime syndicate by getting to their leader - a man crazy behind the wheel and a very fast driver. So players enters the city with the goal to earn enough reputation and respect in the syndicate to get to him. Of course this is not done by just walking up to someone and asking nicely.
Gameplay & Core Systems

A completely new mode is the Highway Battle in which players need to put 300 meters between him and his opponent with the main enemy being the incoming rush hour traffic.
