Need for Speed Underground is a pretty good racing game. Its not bad. I would reccomend renting it first before buying it. There are better racing games out, such as Project Gotham Racing 2, but this is not a real bad choice if you are looking for a street racing game. There are many different types of racing in this game though, like drag racing too. The "go underground" mode is the main mode and the best mode in this game. You can completely trick out your car to make it the most stylish and famous ride on the road. Plus, you can make magazine covers and gan respect and street cred. The graphics are pretty good, and there is a good framerate and sense of speed. There is a style points system, a little similar to the kudos system seen in Project Gotham Racing 1 & 2, but truthfully, its not as well done. It just seems tacked on. I don't like every song on the soundtrack either and some annoy me, but there are some decent songs, such as the ones by Rancid and Rob Zombie(two awesome bands). So, if this game is so good why only a 3 out of 5? Well, it just doesen't seem extremely fun and its not the most original game ever, and it is annoying sometimes. But, its still decent and at least worth renting. When will the never ending quest of gaining street cred ever end? Not any time soon, apparently.
This game is really fun all around. If want to just play it by yourself or with some buddies. The best part is the huge array of options you can use to change your car.
the retard gamer from corpus christi should of bought the game for ps2 or the computer if he wanted online play. Its not only for xbox. Challenging AI is needed to make the game worth playing. Yes, sometimes it gets frustrating when they pass you up on the last lap, but keep at it, and you'll eventually get the hang of it. The customization is endless. What also makes this game so unique is that it actually makes it look like you are going that fast. The surroundings begin to blur slightly as you increase speed, the game is a much more of a thrill to play than say Gran Turismo. Not to put down that game, Gran turismo 3 is one, if not the greatest racing sim today. You dont need to know anything about cars to play this game. You dont need to be a gearhead by having to tune your gear ratio or ride height. Even if you dont like racing, give this game a shot, it will be worth your time.
"Got this game on a whim, and i forgot how fun it was. Good on ya ea"
"It's all in the "need". So buy the game and enjoy the experience. "need" i say more. Peace."
