The Need for Speed series got another dose of Hollywood magic with the release of Undercover. Actress Maggie Q plays a federal agent and is your character's only contact to the outside world as you go undercover to foil an international crime syndicate in Tri-City. Singer and actress Christina Milian makes an appearance as Carmen, a friend you encounter throughout your travels.Undercover returned to the "sandbox" style seen in Underground, Most Wanted, and Carbon, but increased the size of the world map to more than 100 miles of drivable blacktop spread across three connected cities.New to online mode was a "Cops and Robbers" game, with one team trying to grab cash spawned on the map and the other team driving to stop them. The game also introduced a new "Heroic Driving Engine", a unique technology that generated incredible high-performance moves, including 180-degree turns at high speeds.

Tracks/World

With nearly 110 miles of roadway, Tri-City was by far the largest Need for Speed map built to date, separated into four boroughs -- Palm Harbor, Port Crescent, Gold Coast Mountains, and Sunset Hills -- all connected by extensive highways.
