Hey! Remember when EA's Travis Boatman very quietly reconfirmed a boatload of EA franchises coming to the iPhone in 2009? Oh, you don't? That's okay, we nearly forgot too. In fact, we're pretty sure the company would like to keep these anouncements secret, as Need for Speed: Undercover hit the iTunes App Store today without so much as a peep from its publisher!The game comes e-brake sliding into the store for the not-so-nice price of $9.99, and though we've yet to get our hands on it, we'll be sure to tell you how we feel just as soon as we do. For 10 bucks though, that might not be too soon.
Need for Speed: Undercover ($9.99, EA)

This screams money-grab to me, as does their last few NFS games. Pass.

About time. This was announced in the summer by EA with Apple.

A rubbish game ported to the iPhone. It worries me that something so shite could collapse in on itself and create some sort of black hole of crappyness, and crush the the solar system into the size of a turd!

You forgot to liken it to "poo", "dung", and good old fashioned "fecal matter" in your otherwise excrement-laden tirade.

Well most people on itunes gave it 5 star review out of 5 and obviously you havent played it so who should we believe? If you havent tried something shut the **** up cause you have no room to talk

have you seen some of the other stuff on the app store? they make this game look like freakin MGS4!

@Ezio
So between every 5 minute race I have to sit through 2 hours of cutscenes?!
NOOOOOOOOOOO!

So they're re-releasing crap?

It's currently installing for me. I've been playing the fast and the furious game recently and it was pretty solid. Hope this one is even better.

I would pick it up for $4.99, but not $9.99. Is this the XBLA?

I've been looking forward to this game ever since it was announced, but to be perfectly honest, the "auto acceleration" is BS. I absolutely HATE not having control over the accelerator. Seriously, after how well even free marketing games control (I'm thinking of the BMW painting one) why the heck couldn't they have put an option to use an accelerator and brake button? It does look like the AA works well, but this just doesn't seem like a $10 purchase to me...

Hi,
There are some pretty good reviews for this especially the controls available:

Question, did anyone try to configure the accelerometer, as my one seems too much and makes it hard to control??!
