Of the new games demonstrated at Apple’s event this morning, the most impressive had to be Need For Speed: Undercover, the latest title in the popular Electronic Arts series. Intended for the iPod touch and iPhone, it’s controlled both by the touchscreen - which let you select your 3D car and tweak its setup – and by the accelerometer, it features graphics the equal of other portable gaming systems.

In fact, Apple are positioning the iPod touch not only as a media player but also as the superlative handheld gaming system. In the event today, Steve Jobs described it as “the best portable device for playing games”, throwing down a gauntlet to Nintendo and Sony that you can be sure the two rivals won’t back away from.
Need For Speed is slated for a November launch on the iPod touch and iPhone 3G. No word on how much it will cost through the AppStore, however.
Wow, the graphics of this game are phenomenal! I’m definitely buying this when it comes out in November, hopefully the price will be AT MAX $15 (but $15 is pushing it lol). Can’t wait, and by the way I love how the crowd reacts when he crashes lolz OOOO hahaha.
Can you just free roam on this game on the iPod touch?
