PreCentral fired up a replica of Need For Speed: Undercover on the freshly-upgraded handset immediately above, and found the game perfectly playable with ” decent” framerates and only slightly sub-par load times. Watch their riced-up Nissan turn tricks right after the break, and pray companies get cracking on some Unreal Engine 3 apps soon.
