Need For Speed Undercover dated, Christina Milian confirmed

Unlike NFS: Pro Street, which was heavily hyped throughout the course of 2007, the upcoming NFS: Undercover seem to trying to stay below the radar. However, it now seems EA are finally ready to start the hype-train for the game by releasing the first trailer for the title on YouTube.

Seeing as the trailer for the game is all live-action / CGI, it really does not tell us much in regards to the content of the game, and what the gameplay will be like. However, in the trailer Christina Milian makes an appearance, which pretty much confirms she will be this years poster-girl for the game. Actress Maggie Q also appears in the trailer too. The trailer ends by confirming a release date for this game, Novemeber 18th, and showing a link to a website – Whichroadtotake.com

Previously, Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello stated that Undercover is taking inspiration from action films such as The Transporter to tell the games story. John Doyle, from EA Black Box also hinted that the game will have a “Most Wanted-ish” sandbox style of gameplay.

Riccitiello also previously commented that ProStreet didn’t live up to EA’s hopes for the game, which is a pretty candid statement for a CEO to make about one of his own games. As a result this game has being granted a longer period in development – 18 months instead of the usual 12.
