Need for speed undercover

Haven't bought or played it, but if the last one was anything to go by it will be fecking shit!
 
So I take it this is shit then...

Its gone downhill after Underground / 2 hasn't it.
 
I made a mistake there, that was more of a assumed question rather than a statement. I haven't bothered to properly play any of the others after Underground 2... I quite liked the free roam about the world thing as well.

I think I played most wanted or carbon on the PSP a little bit, that was quite good, more amazed about playing it on a small hand-held device at the time though.
 
Has anyone actually played this game, or are we all just going to presume it's shit?
 
Right so I finally got this today, and its not as bad as its been made out to be. Its still fun. In fact it reminds me of most wanted(granted not as good). The police chases are super fun, as are the highway races. Normal races can get abit boring due to the AI being crap MOST of the time(not always though). The only thing that gets on my nerves is the extreme brightness of the sunlight. Its bright to the point where you think shit I might need sunglasses to play this. People mention framerate issues, but I've only experienced that twice and it wasn't such a bother. Overall its a pretty fun game.
 
^ post some screenshots

i personally think the graphics are shittier than most wanted.
 
thing that annoys me about these games is you never see anyone driving the bloody cars, windows are always tinted
