Ok, guys
Feast ur eyes on the game---> NEED FOR SPEED-UNDERCOVER ("NFS UC" to be used throughout
this short review by me) for the PSP from EA SPORTS-- It's in the game....
First of all, having being played the previous 2 game titles from the NFS series,
1.) NFS Most Wanted
2.) NFS-Underground Rivals
on the PSP by me, these versions of NFS lacked sum serious controls features and the game was marred with really bad, infact aweful in game car controls. The controls were so so soft that even the slightest of motions on the analog stick wud send the car RAMMING (bangind/ scraping off its body) along the sides of the race trace (the street circuits)..
START OF NFS UC: The start of NFS UC begins with u (the player) at the wheels of a car and cops behind u, so u jus hv to drive well to move out of their sights on a broad (well NOT so broad, as the PSP screen is small..lol..) highway...passing thru a swarm of cars and other vehicles, basically jus get ur @$$ out from the cops grasp.. simple..lol... here is the screenshot (below):
AREAS TO RACE: NFS UC has 3 locations (atleast this is wat i was able to figure out from the in game map) to race in and player starts from the SUNSET HILL location in career mode. (screenshots below):
RACING MODES: NFS UC has Circuit, Sprint, Outrun, TAKE-out-the-cops (dunno wat is eaxctly called, but this is my name given to this mode, wherein we bang Cop cars jus as in the PC version of NFS MW)...
CONTROLS: Well, in NFS UC, the controls are NOT really over the top, but yes, its been a lot more improved as compared to its predesessors (NFS MW and NFS UG Rivals).. and this time, in NFS UC, its day time racing
(atleast till the point where i hv played, i.e
Game Completed: 6% of the on going Career mode with,
Bounty: 16,440 and
Cash: $28,650, this after purchasing 2 new cars apart from my already owned car in game)
Also, the use of Slow mode (to slow down time while nearing a difficult corner or to dodge cops in tricky situations) is really a helpful thing, as i used them 1st tiem in this game and was really impressed with it.
The L trigger is for NOS and the R trigger for Hand brake, it is really responsive to make a U Turn
jus wen the cops get hot on ur tails..nevertheless, u can always choose ur control settings from 3 options (in the options menu)
GAME MODES: So, this game has a Career Mode, Quick Race mode and Multiplayer mode the many features wich are basic to every title of the NFS franchise, so nothing special to talk about.
I am currently in the Career mode and here I hv started with the SUNSET HILL (main area, out the 3 available main areas for racing), each sub-area (areas withing the main area SUNSET HILLS) has 3 or 2 or jus 1 type of racing modes where u hv to win to advance (unlock) further sub-areas in the same main-area.
U can jus try and Win races in the sub area to really OWN the subarea or really go out there and DOMINATE
(by always having the biggest lead in timing while in 1st place of a race) i.e WINning with the biggest margin of time will make u DOMINATE the race and if u DOMINATE all the events in that particular sub area, then u DOMINATE that sub area.
SOME OF THE CARS OF CAREER MODE: screenshots below:
CAR UPGRADES: THere are Performance and Visual upgrades, the 2 types of upgrades available in game
for the Car...
Performance Upgrades has: Engine, Handling, Chasis, Turbo and Nitro upgrades (from level-1 min upgrade wich also takes a small sum of ur winning money to upgrade to level-5, the MAX upgrade)
Visual Upgrades has: Body Kits, Spoilers, Hoods, Rims, Tint, Paint, Vinyls,
SOUND TRACKS: The sound tracks included in NFS UC are really good, i mean some of them were NOT
at all liked by me (im not gonna mention wich ones, as many ppl wich jus pounce on me hearing this..lol..) but
im surely gonna mantion my favs for this.. wich were:
1.) The Formula of Fear
2.) Tempest (both the vocal as well as the instrumental versions of this same song)
3.) High velocity
4.) burning fence
5.) The warning... etc.....etc....
Also, if u hv ur own mp3 (placed in ms0:/MUSIC) folder, then u can make them play in game.. (i added sum Mike Oldfield, Delerium and Chicane songs) : D
TRACKS: the in game tracks are largely open and really wide high way kind of roads very much like those of NFS MW (PC version) so making the car burst out with full Nitrous will really make u feel the KING OF SPEED.. : D also wen at high speeds, the in game camera really shakes and in turn gives a real sense of thrill of driving a car (with level-1 Performance upgrades applied).
IN GAME VISUALS/GRAPHICS: Considering the PSP screen being really small, this time the graphics are really not up to the mark, cars really look choppy, the cop cars looks like its hired straight from sum outclass boring film, sum kind of really low budget crap..looks like the recession thing in the US has also affected the PSP gaming and graphics industry...lol...
The graphics are NOTHING much to be talked about, but each car really handles gr8 wen Performance upgrades are applied...
Overall, this is NOT the best of NFS titles to hit the PSP, but still its better than the previous titles of NFS...... : )
Hope u guys liked my review and atleast it was worthly of an applause, be it even the smallest of applauds (if not the loudest)..
I hv NOT gone by the book (reviews given by gaming sites) and hence its my 100% original review of this game.. comments are welcome... : )

Awesome Review Ashu For NFS UC ..... Played it on PC and it was totally crap , lukin frwd to play it on my PSP after i get that modded

thanx buddy, yup i agree there is NOT much to speak abt NFS UC.... as the similar game was NFS MW.. im jus hoping to get the PC version jus for the graphics and cars and tracks.. nothing exciting abt the game modes..
------------
Btw played FIELD COMMANDER.... if any of u guys hv played a turn based strategy game then i must admit wholeheartedly that this is the BEST and i mean THE BEST and TRICKIEST turn based strategy gmae for the PSP./.. play it and then only u can believe it..
although plz DO NOT expect crisp graphics for this game, the emphasis is more on the turn based strategy rather than the game's graphics..
if any one of u hv played MGS ACID (on the PSP) wich contained moving the lead character, Snake in steps of 3 to advance thru the game, then this game FIELD COMMANDER is relaly based on those lines...
I knw this is a really different genre of PSP game... (like say Puzzle quest was, wich combined puzzle+rpg elements to get a cracker of a game title for the PSP)...

buddy,. ur PSP a.k.a PSP2004 seems to me (as it is on a OFW 4.01) MAY BE non moddable (as of now).. well im jus speculating this...
as in the USA version of PSP2004, they come loaded with OFW 4.05 (wich has the non moddable mobo the TA 088 v3 remember, all the numbers in the adjacent said mobo is required to term it as a NON MODDABLE mobo)and urs is OFW 4.01
Also, Sony Worldwide as well as Sony India said tat all PSPs after or in the month of Sept, 2008 will come with the new mobo a.k.a the TA 088 v3 (wich is simply NON MODDABLE PSPs..)
SO wen did u buy ur PSP ???
but WAIT.... (heres a life line for u)....try this...
Have a a look below the battery (not at the back of the battery but at the place where ur battery is placed on ur PSP and look on the psp console, theres this date code, what does yours say?
to give people an idea, if its the same as someone elses and its been cfw'd then you are fine, well in theroy anyway, cant hurt to check the date code thingy..
Mine says this ---> DATE CODE 8B ..so I modded it and installed CFW.. so check it and answer here..

Correct, PSP's with 4.01 firmware in the market have T-088 motherboard. my friend got PSP yesterday and had to pay 9700/- for a moddable PSP having 3.xx firmware by default. The PSP with 4.01 firmware was available for 8800/- .
BTW, in needd of a urgent info, i am going to order this 8GB memory card,
*www.lynx-india.com/products_pictures/Sandisk%20Memory%20Stick%20Pro%20Duo%20Ultra%20II%208GB-L.jpg
pls tell me if there will be any problem. All those who have 8GB mem cards in their PSP , is there any drawback of using it?
URGENT HELP NEEDED
