The game's major plot twist is all but spoiled in the game's introductory cutscene, not that it would have been particularly interesting if saved. In a photo-realistic game this might work quite well, but given Undercover's frankly poor visuals, the live action scenes create a disconnect with the gameplay which pairs with the already fairly predictable plot to do very little.
One new aspect of Undercover is live action story cutscenes, as the plot of the game is told via pre-recorded video with real actors. In attempting to return to the series roots with Undercover, several game mechanics return from Most Wanted and Carbon notably the police chase system and some race types, though the AI seem to have been lifted straight out of ProStreet, offering little to no challenge for much of the game. Need For Speed: Undercover was released during an interesting time in the franchise Most Wanted '05 and Carbon were two of the best loved and critically well received games in the series, but ProStreet didn't quite hit the same levels of success, thanks in part to taking the focus off illegal street racing.
