Need for Speed Underground 2

THE GOOD:

Nearly anything can be customized on your ride, such as neon lights, spoilers, etc.

You can make your car "pose" for DVD and magazine covers.

There are many different types of races to take part in.

This game will keep you entertained for quite a while.

THE BAD:

The selection of cars isn't so great.

Sometimes the opponent cars can cheat.

There's nothing much to do after completing the game.

SUMMARY:
Welcome to my review of Need for Speed Underground 2 for the Playstation 2!


» Plot

You had it all: the money, cars, women and fame, but one race changed all of that. You crashed and had to be sent to the hospital for quite a while.

Some time has passed, and you finally get released from the hospital. You have lost everything you've worked so hard to achieve. But...

THE GOOD:
The game is packed with many upgrades for the vehicles with endless ways to customizer your car to your very own liking.

Various types of races, there are about eight of them and this is lacking in many other racing titles and those get boring fast with only one or two types of races.

Even though there isn't much to do at 100% completion it takes a long time to get there with various things to do. Such as the "posing" your car for magazines or DVD covers.

THE BAD:
Nothing to do once you get the game to 100% completion.

I think the two player races aren't very good and the split screen doesn't make it look any better.

SUMMARY:
The story follows that of the previous installment Need for Speed: Underground, the character, who is given no name, crashes and ends up in the hospital loses everything he had worked for in his vehicles in the past...

THE GOOD:
- Cars
- Customization
- Photos
- Big Game Area
- Race Types
- Tuning

THE BAD:
- Music
- Time between Races

SUMMARY:
This is overall an amazing game. You start as a poser running the streets trying to make some cash for you car. Eventually you will become a big shot and make your way to the top of the racing world.

There are a lot of great things about this game. There is a whole bunch of cars available to drive. You won't start with a complete collection but you will eventually unlock them as you progress through the game. The Customization in this game is amazing. You can choose from so many different vinyls and decals it is amazing. You can change the color of pretty much everything on your car. You can put on some sweet spoilers and body kits. The body kit system is mix and match so you have an amazing amount of possibilities. You can put...

THE GOOD:
Many cars to choose from.
New race styles.
Thousands of customisable parts as well as paints, vinyls and decals.
Large free roam city.
Iproved graphics.
Good learning curve.
Good replay value.
Good fun in multiplayer mode.

THE BAD:
Extreamly long.
Can be a little repetative.
Soundtrack not as good as the original NFSU.

SUMMARY:
As a big car game fan I think this game has to be one of my favourites. There are many cars and even SUVs to choose from and the customisation in this game is unbelievable. There are literally thousands of visual and performance upgrade combinations so no two cars look the same. There are also many race styles such as drift and drag. Each car can be tuned to suit a particular race style or your driving technique so you can shave off a couple of valuable seconds. There is also a free roam mode in witch you can race...

THE GOOD:
#1 Customization is awesome. There's a lot more customization you can do in this one. IE: Scissor doors, split hoods, engine/trunk neon, gauges, more carbon fiber options, spinners, lots of spoilers, rims, colored lights, more vinyls, window tints, side mirrors, wide body kits, purging of NOS at the start with colors and hydraulics.
#2 The dyno tuning. I didn't realize it was that important it was in making racing easier to tune your car to specific settings. I was able to control my car even better when I did this like after 50% of my game.
#3 The graphics are upgraded a bit from UG.
#4 Roaming around the vast city in your car is prety cool. It can get tedious after a while at times. I did get tired of the hilly area of UG2 after awhile.
#5 Extra types of races. New to this one are Street X racing, Outruns, and URLS.
#6 More cars. There was a surprise with having SUV's in this one. I didn't really race with them, because they are so...

THE GOOD:
NFSU 2 has a lot to appreciate .

1. Whole new bunch of great cars, including Hummers, Mustang and Escalades.
2. Huge city to free roam around in.
3. Great upgrades to your cars.
4. a few new races which ae good .
5. Modding is great .
6. Racing is much easier to win than in NFSU

THE BAD:
Music in the game sucked, I got bored of it the first time I listened to it. The sound tracks of NFSU were just so much better.
There should have been more cars and the cutscenes suck cuz basically they are comic strips with voices .
Street X sucks badly .
No good storyline .

SUMMARY:
This game is one of the best racers out. It is better in some ways compared to the first, and not so good in other.
It has a short soundtrack, the songs are not good , but i liked the soundtrack to the first even more. I also didn't really like the comic book like cinemas in this one, in the first...

THE GOOD:
Whole new bunch of great cars, including Hummers and Escalades. Huge city to free roam around in. Great upgrades to your cars.

THE BAD:
Mostly the same from the old game, cars handle strangely.

SUMMARY:
This game is just a souped up version of the last NFSU. While it's great, it has everything it had last time that stopped it from being perfect, cars handle way too sluggish and competition isn't that difficult. Even on hard, the only things that live up to that is Drag. All the rest is fairly easy.

Now that's nothing bad, because this game is still great, you get an unbelievable amount of visual upgrades, your cars only looked half as awesome in NFSU as they do now. Spoilers, Bumpers, Roof Scoops, Hoods and everything has got a huge boost in figures of parts. There are even loads of new additions, Hydraulics, Spinners, Audio Systems and even Suicide and Scissor doors are available....

THE GOOD:
more car features to add to your car inclding:scissor doors,pulse neons,wide body kits and desighn your own speakers in the boot of your car.
graphics are better than the previous underground,looking for races is also a good feature.different colour noz out of the car bonnet.

THE BAD:
it does take long to ride around the city to get to your next race.
you have to find the car shops to tune up your car, this takes a it of time ut once you have found them they come up on the map.at first you dont get alot of money for winning races, but as you progress through the game you do get a reasonable amount to spend on your car £5000 per race

SUMMARY:
brilliant game, well worth getting.
alot more features than the previous underground, about £30 get this game now!!!!!!

THE GOOD:
More Cars
More Customization Features
Better OnLine play
More Races
Free Roam

THE BAD:
Short SoundTrack
Comicbook Cinemas

SUMMARY:
This game is one of the best racers out. It is better in some ways compared to the first, and not so good in other.
It has a short soundtrack, but still with many good songs, but i still liked the soundtrack to the first even more. I also didn't really like the comic book like cinemas in this one, in the first they actually moved.
But, the graphics in this one are slightly enhanced, not much but they're smoother. There's also more customization features from scissor doors, to suicide doors, and you can change the way your hood opens, and set a stereo system in your trunk, and put neons in your trunk and hood, and there's even hydraulics, and much more. There's also more cars like the Mustang, and even trucks such as the H2, and escalade, and some oldies...

THE GOOD:
You can Do more stuff like the upgardes you have to purchuse other stuff like engien parts for the car there are like 3 parts per up grade. You get to drive around to the races like on midnight club. Know you can get back noes in this game instead of running out and cant get any more back.

THE BAD:
Its a little easy to win the races so that makes it to get lots of money and cars.

SUMMARY:
people think that this game is gay because when you go faster the screen gets blury. I think that makes it more realalistic. There are also some people that it is to hard to get to the races but i get aroud just fine. All i use is the gps system thingy.
There is some truth to what people say is that in the drift racing is to hard because there are other racers messing you up. I think that it is hard to in a goods way because they way it anit so easy to win, harder to get a higher score, and the time limit i dont...
