Written by shoe

THE GOOD:
Graphics, good amount of customisation, fair amount af races to do in underground mode.

THE BAD:
All the tracks are in one city and eventually most of the tracks are very similar and go through the same obsticals. also the Non-Race cars look bad. TRAFFIC IS EVIL IN SOME LEVELS.

SUMMARY:
This game is the best racing GAMES that i've played. While not as realistic as a GT it is very very fun and customising is just as enjoyable
GRAPHICS: 10/10 The game looks great, speed blur occurs perfectly, it's a beauty. Non-race vehicles didn't get much Detail and vehicles don't get damaged but when your car looks good you don't want it getting all scratched up.
SOUND/MUSIC: 10/10 The sounds are really good, Turbos sound real and all cars sound different. The Nitros has good sound too. The music is the best of any game I have ever played and If I ever saw those songs as a CD I would buy it in a second. Music is...

THE GOOD:
Emence speed, extreme tention, cool cars, and all the rest that makes it a classic ps2 game that I will never stop playing and put it on a shelf and forget about.

THE BAD:
Mabey a few more options on painting your car. It would be nice to be able to make your own colors. And mabey more accesories like roof scoops and headlights or more colors of neon. Oh yes And some more songs by the Lostprophets!

SUMMARY:
One of the best games I've ever played. Borrowed it off a friend to try it out and I couldnt give it back! Recordred all the songs from 'EA trax' onto my minidisc player. Hope that isnt illegal! Ive got to say when I first played te game the stock cars that you have to start with are pretty crap and i did feel a bit dissapointed, but once I had unlocked some performance upgrades thats when the fun began!

THE GOOD:
The cars are very detailed.
The sounds of the cars are awesome!
The different games in it are lots of fun.
Drag, drifting, circuit, sprint
The tracks are detailed and enjoyable.
You can change the look of how you race. (first person, view of the car, and closer view of it)

THE BAD:
I wish they would have added:
#1 personalized plates....since this is a game of customizing your car.
#2 Having police show up at the end after you race (not necessarily all the time) would have been cool. After all.... if it's illegal racing, you'd think the pigs would show up sometime and try and spoil the fun.
#3 A few more cars.
#4 A few more songs.
Only thing that I do get annoyed with is at the end of dragging, the crowd that cheers. It's fine a few times, but if you play this alot or have the volume high, that's a bit annoying.
That 1 thing of course does not make me not like the game. Just personal...

Well, i'm not a big fan of racing games, but this one
is one of those few that i'm happy to make an exception.

-Let's start with the visuals. The graphics of this
game are great, nothing groundbreaking, but it's the
next best thing.The city in this game is not based on
a real one, but suprisingly, it would appear that there
is not one day that goes by that it does not rain in this fictional city, why do i think this? simple, the
roads are nice and shiny in everyone of the 111 levels,
and your car is suprisingly shiny aswell. This effect
does make the game look more beautiful, but after awhile, it does feel ridiculous.

-The story is nothing complicated, you start as an
unknown insect and as you win races, you start to get
noticed by more and more people. You have to rise
through the rankings to be #1 on Circuit, sprint, drag
and drift races. Yes, obviously this is very simple,
but what do you expect from a racing game,...

“Nasty game”

Written by Camaro Prince

THE GOOD:
Liceansed cars, great graphics, customization of real cars, real music, doing illgeal street racing without getting in trouble, win money, and parts for your car, lots of fun.
THE BAD:
Story element a lil dull. Needed to be a little better. Other than that the game is sooooooo gooooood.
SUMMARY:
Other than a lack of story elements the game was amazing and i cant wait to get the sequel in a few months.This game is amazing. From begining to end its a total adrenaline rush. FULL throttle game, with NOS and real company tune up parts. If your looking for a good realistic racing game, then this is the game for you. I suggest getting to the store immediately and buying it. DONT wait till the sequel comes out, get the first and play for practice for the second which will be even better.

“Need for Speed Underground”

Written by Dubble ow sevon

THE GOOD:
the graphics in this game are awesome. even the nitrous looked real. the cars are real. the rims are real. everything in this game is real. i liked the length of this game and i liked all the different kinds of races you could do. the great thing about this game is that you can customize your whole car from the engine accent to the spoiler.
THE BAD:
i didnt like that you raced on the same track just reversed.i also didnt like the ending of the game. but i really dont think nfsu2 can get any better. this game should have had spinners.
SUMMARY:
i think this is a great game espiacially if you like racing games. the control and everything is great. i recomend you buy this game.i rate this game a 4.9 because of the track problem.great street racing game.i beat this game and all and i think you should unlock cheats so when you go back to play it on like hard mode you could have some help.

8.4 / 10

“Need For Speed Underground”

Written by Incidnia

THE GOOD:
20 fully customizable cars from the top brands such as Toyota and Mitsubishi.
THE BAD:
Replay the same race often, fairly linear tracks.
SUMMARY:
OK, abandoning the Exotic Based Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2, and going into the gritty life of street racing, with hundrends of after market parts to make your ride look cool. Escape the high life and enter the low life of street illegal racing. Race through 114 Los Angeles style courses, from construction sites to oriental gardens.

Drift Mode, slide with style in these Japanese Traditional 4 lap races around a slick and slidy course. Drag, inspired by The Fast And The Furious, race 3 other cars down motorways, main streets and parks. And The rest, Circuit: the usual, Sprint: one lap, 4 racers, whoever wins, earns respect and Time Trial: Single Race, to get a unique part.

The game lacks replay value, but who needs it with Quick Race,...
