"Challenge Series" and "Boss Car" content bring new features

No matter what you may have to say about Need for Speed Undercover, EA is continuing their support for the game, despite all that bad press following release about how it failed to meet revenue expectations.

For those of you who actually do enjoy this 2008 Need for Speed installment, you can now get two new content packs today.  The first, the "Classic Series" pack, is free to download and features 60 new events across two new game modes, allowing gamers to earn new cars in the process.  The premium (paid, in other words) "Boss Car" pack offers up some specially customized boss vehicles for $5.00 or 400 Microsoft Points.

Both the Classic Series and Boss Car packs are now available for all platform versions -- PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.  Here are the complete update details:

Challenge Series:

  • Highway Wars is the ultimate fusion of Undercover’s signature Highway Battles with the adrenaline fueled competition of sprint racing. In this mode, players will race at top speeds through traffic filled highways against three AI opponents in a winner take all battle to the finish line.

  • Highway Checkpoint forces the player to push their car to the limit as they weave through traffic in an attempt to make it to the next checkpoint before time expires.

  • Players can also earn three new vehicles as they complete the Challenge Series. Each vehicle is available for use in career or online and has been specifically tuned to compete against the top cars in the game.

    • Battle Machine Mazda RX-7 will be awarded upon completion of the first 30 events.

    • Speed Machine Porsche 911 GT2 with matte black paint and custom gold liveries will be awarded after completing all 60 of the Challenge Series events.

    • Dominator Corvette Z06 is for players that dominate a minimum of 31 events.

Boss Car Pack

This premium car pack gives players access to the entire fleet of boss cars featured in Undercover. These high performance machines are tuned for maximum performance in their appropriate tiers enabling players to compete against the fastest cars in each tier of Undercover.

  • Carmen's Shelby GT500

  • Chase’s BMW M6

  • Chau Wu’s Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG

  • G-Mac’s Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4

  • Hector’s Nissan 370Z

  • Nickel’s Dodge Viper SRT10

  • Rose’s Porsche 911 GT2

  • Zack’s Volkswagen Scirocco
