Electronic Arts adds another title to their expanding BlackBerry 10 lineup
Although I don't fancy a lot of games, I do have a sweet spot for racing and driving simulators. Need For Speed: Undercover is probably the game I play the most on my BlackBerry PlayBook and its absence from the BlackBerry Z10 was a bit disappointing for me.
No matter now though as EA has finally got around to making the game available for BlackBerry 10 and available to most countries that BlackBerry World supports according to the online storefront listing. That's not to say it's all good news though because along with making it available, EA saw fit to also add a $2.99 price tag to it rather then offering it for free but alas, it's a damn fine game so I paid up and got it.
If you want a look at the game, you can check out our quick PlayBook review here otherwise, you can hit the link below to grab Need For Speed: Undercover from BlackBerry World directly.

If I have the PB version on my BBID, do I need to buy this one?
elite1 Mar 19, 2013 at 9:54 pm
Sorry Diego, it's a separate listing "... for BlackBerry 10" so need to buy for your Z10 if you want it.

dalight13 Mar 19, 2013 at 9:46 pm
Available for bell in Québec!
NewfieCheesehead Mar 19, 2013 at 9:49 pm
Got it free on the playbook. I'll just keep playing it on that. Sweet game though.
birdman_38 Mar 20, 2013 at 5:55 am
Really? You can't fork over a whole $3 to support the developer?
NewfieCheesehead Mar 20, 2013 at 8:10 am
I could, but why would I? I fork over a small fortune for the phone, and then another small fortune for apps on the phone that I would use on my phone. If there's an app/game that I don't already have I will gladly fork over the money to support it. I've already spent well over $100 for apps that I use and support. But I don't see the point of paying for an app I already have on another blackberry device that I usually carry with me. Especially when that app is free on that device.

The link took me to "Unavailable for your Device" but if I search for it manually in BlackBerry World a compatible version popped up and installed.

Driving games are my faves. I'll have to pick this one up when my Z comes in..
Kyle27 Mar 19, 2013 at 9:54 pm
If it's showing up as unavailable, clear your cache. In BlackBerry World, swipe down from the top, tap Settings. At the bottom of the page, find the version number (mine is Version 4.2.1.109) and tap the version number. When you go back, it will reload the page and it should now be available to download on your device. I'm with Telus in Eastern Canada and I was able to download it.

No original link was not for N.A. users. EA has themselves set up with few different vendor accounts for some reason. Link in article works now.

I followed the link and got the same thing. When I went in and searched for it, I was able to download it no longer. Try searching instead of the link.

This game is outdated already

I was excited for a new nfs game and I see the same game released 2 years ago for my PlayBook wtf.

Need for Speed Undercover seems so old though. I don't see any reason to go and buy the game for my Z10.
SDTRMG Mar 20, 2013 at 2:05 am
I bought it, but that was my exact thoughts, I think they just worked the PlayBook version and this is a test to see how many people will get the app so I bought it anyway.

This game is really fun on the PlayBook. Hopefully EA brings Real Racing 3 and some of the other newer Need For Speed titles too.

y is it not free if you already bought on the playbook? i am not going to buy twice sort this out blackberry i am bored of there being no ties between the PB and the Z10, the excuse for years was that BB10 was built around the PB OS so why is there no links together whatsoever? yeah buy all your games twice great, sort it out!
adrenaline_x Mar 20, 2013 at 10:45 am
Timmsy, It was FREE and pre-installed on your playbook... you DIDN't buy it.
meh.. if you can't justify 3$ on an app, i'm surprised you bought the phone ;)
jc Mar 20, 2013 at 11:23 am
Even if it was free and pre-installed on the playbook, I don't see myself paying to have it on bb10, I don't mind purchasing new games... like Asphalt 7 for example.
Rootbrian Mar 20, 2013 at 8:58 pm
Gosh people, IT'S ONLY THREE DOLLARS!! That's the price of two LARGE/MEDIUM COFFEE's. Depending on where you get them from.
Give it a break already.
