Need for Speed Underground (PS2)

...moving very fast yet again. Need for speed underground is also displayed at the top. The picture of the car begins at one of the front wheels and is looking diagonally onto the car, which makes it look more interesting. I think the car also looks like one out of Fast and the Furious, which attracts those car lovers even more. This game has a slight ‘Fast and the Furious’ feel about it. All the races take place late at night under the cover of darkness ...
...to give you that real need for speed feeling. I absolutely love all of these tracks and often find myself walking along singing them (if you can call it singing!) At the start you have to build a new driver profile. This is done by selecting DRIVER PROFILE from the main menu and the driver profile then appears. You then select CREATE PROFILE from the driver profile menu. A keyboard appears. You then enter a name for your new driver profile. You ...

Review of Need for Speed Underground (PS2)

A review for Need for Speed Underground Before I even purchased this game I knew it was going to be good. It was hyped by everybody and anybody and I'm glad to say it lives up to this hype. It may not be very realistic, and not have as many cars as other racing games, but it is still a very addictive arcade racer. This game is based around the underground racing scene, where racers, well street race. It also has a major influence from the infamous ...
...up for lost time. You need to be very fast and very cautious not to crash. Each of these is at one time or another merged into a tournament with usually 3 races in each. This is the main cash raiser so be sure to win it convincingly. Of course in all types of modes you will be battling against other street racers. The A.I. in this game is good and is always going to give you a good race, but for one cheap trick. Catch up. When you are cruising ...

...brought to life beautifully in Need for Speed: Underground. Brought to us by Electronic Arts and Black Box, the game is in fact the sixth Need for speed title and an excellent follow up from the ‘Hot pursuit’ titles. The game is basically a mix of Burnout and Midnight Club with a healthy dash of Fast and the Furious thrown in, and it plays brilliantly. In the ‘Underground’ mode, the main part of the game, you begin your career on the underground ...
...and get pitted again some other amateurs. After winning a few races your cash pile will build up and you will find yourself moving on to better cars and better parts. The ability to upgrade your car yourself is a great addition to the game, you can purchase new engines for speed, new tyres for better grip, better suspension packages for easier handling and weight reduction kits to lighten the load, the list goes on. The Underground mode is an innovative ...

Review of Need for Speed Underground (PS2)

Need for speed underground smothered up my life for a few weeks in the month of December. Not since the last gran turismo had I enjoyed a car racing game as much as this. It offered a different edge on alot of car games out there, giving you the ability to customize a car like never seen before on a computer game. With a license to use well known car companies and part suppliers such has Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Sparco, and many others. The game looked ...
...race but this time you need to make sure you aint in the last place before the end of each lap. If so you end up been knocked-out, With all these options what else do you need? Well great gameplay would be an advantage, and NFSU will provide you with this. The handling is'nt excellent and the game is'nt exactly realistic but this just adds to the great arcade feel about the game. You will find yourself always just ahead of the other cars in competition ...

...your going to love this!! Need For Speed Underground makes a good attempt of bringing the street racing lifestyle to the home consoles!! The bad bits.......it doesnt take a long time to complete the game, it took me 1-2 weeks, and it can get boring at times. The graphics could also be a bit better, even though i havent fount alot of glitches, but it would be nice to add a clutch feature to driving manually, like Toca race driver 2. More customized ...

Before now, racing games went something like this: get car, race car, win race, repeat. However, racing games just got a turbo boost. Nfs underground has given racing games a new breath of light. Nfs underground offers customizations beyond your wildest dreams. Gone is the boring look of old, and in is a new sensation known only as street racing. The cars now look far different from when they rolled out of the showroom and the street is now the ...
...“fast and the furious” films, it still looks fresh and new. The option lists are endless, from bumpers to neons and exhausts to nitrous. The game captures the street scene perfectly to almost every detail and dosent fail to impress. There are only 20 cars in all, ranging from civics to skylines. No Ferrari's or porches, just a selection of affordable, sensible cars which turn into power-hungry, flame-spitting monsters which rip the road clean in ...

Review of Need for Speed Underground (PS2)

I was know by my Husband as a PS2 virgin I had never been interested in playing any of my husbands or childrens games untill I discovered NFSU. It all happened in the new year we had brought NFSU as a christmas present for my son, and soon my husband was hooked also and I was getting pretty fed up with the tele being used for the game all of the time. Much to my disgust at the time my husband completed the game and decided to start again from scratch ...
...them so I started taking it in turns with my husband to do the races (much to his disgust as I wasn't very good and I kept losing). That was it I was Hooked. I started my own profile and started playing the game while my husband was at work and I got quite good in no time at all it took me about 4 weeks to complete the game and not only was I playing it in the day while I should of been doing the housework but I also started to annoy the rest of ...

...light, neon, more paint colors and lots more. The graphics are pretty good as its a year old, nice reflects from lights, cars, water and other stuff. The only think done poorly on the graphics is the traffic, there very blocky and dull and another thing is when you crash(which you will do a lot) there is no damage at all and it looks bad and very boring. The Sound is good from the car, tires and nitro's sound and the music is very good fits in prefect ...

Hi people, Need for Speed: Underground is the first high speed, illegal street racing game for the PS2. Created by Electronic Arts this game definetley boosted their reputation for creating games. Now there is a story in this game believe it or not! You are a person who wants to race. You choose your car and away you go. You get e-mails which offer you races which gives you money if your're successful. In the end you do 111 races and then you complete ...
...police are involved (like the Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2) well sorry to disappoint you but there isn't. This is one of the changes they could do. They could also make the game longer. Yes you might think that 111 races is long but trust me it isn't. The other bad point is that some races really get on your nerves when you can't complete a certain level. Buy the game, its definetely a racing game to buy. ...

Despite Ps2 being known for its outstanding graphics and game play the one thing this game lacks in is the graphics. For most people you wont really notice the poor graphics unless you have the PC version which I have, and the graphics on PC are amazing and the sound is Brilliant! Apart from the graphics though this game is brilliant, it focuses on the underground street racing in the done up modified cars with the NOS. I kind of get the idea that ...
...The Fast and the Furious as the opening movie is the same as part of the movie. You start off as a unknown person in a rather rubbish car, that has to work his way up in the underground accomplishing objectives such as Sprints, Drifts, Circuits, Knock Outs and Drag. There is an additional 2 extra levels upon completion I believe or it may be 1 I completed it 2 days after it came out but I was none stop gaming as it was so addictive. The levels have ...

When i first saw this game on the shelf, i knew i had to have it. You see i like racing games and this one was a litte bit different. When you first start this game you start off with a limited selection of cars, and these are all pretty basic, in design and performance. The object of this game is to progress through the 111 races while tuning up your cars as you go along. There are hundreds of authentic aftermarket parts which you can unlock and ...
