Need For Speed Underground 2
So after playing this game for a few days now.. I must say that it's enjoyable... but, could've been better.
Al the game mode from the 1st game is still here.. (Drag, Circuit, Drift & Sprint). But, what's different about these two.. is that on the 1st game.. you can just start off a race, or go and upgrade your car.. the 2nd game.. there's free roam.. so you've got to take a few minute of your time to drive from one place to another.. which.. I might add.. is really annoying. I liked the old way better. Another thing, is that you can't sell your car. You can trade it in if you have three cars in your garage.. but, you're not going to get the upgrades you've put on that car, or any cash from the trade. Which, is gay too. Also, spinners on the car gives more styling points than wheels. Which, is ridiculous, 'cause if you've ever seen spinners on cars IRL.. you were probably thinking "haha, that guys' a douche." Plus, I still don't get why there's three SUV in the game (Hummer H2, Lincoln Navigator & Cadillac Escalade). When they should've put a 2001 Acura Integra 2001, 200x Honda S2000 & 200x Honda NSX Type-R. So overall, my final rating for the game is a 7.2 Last edited by blueskies; 11-26-2004 at 12:28 PM. |

Here's the complete soundtrack list.
Freeland: Mind Killer (Jagz Kooner Remix) Capone: I Need Speed Chingy: I Do Christopher Lawrence: Rush Hour Cirrus: Back on a Mission Felix Da Housecat: Rocket Ride (Soulwax Remix) Fluke: Switch/Twitch Helmet: Crashing Foreign Cars Killradio: Scavenger Killing Joke: The Death & Resurrection Show Ministry: No W Mudvayne: Determined Paul Van Dyk: Nothing But You (Cirrus Remix) Queens of the Stone Age: In My Head Rise Against: Give it All Septembre: I am Weightless Skindred: Nobody Sly Boogy: ThatҒz My Name Sin: Hard EBM Snapcase: Skeptic Snoop Dogg feat. the Doors: Riders On The Storm (Fredwreck Remix) Sonic Animation: E-Ville Spiderbait: Black Betty Terror Squad: Lean Back The Bronx: Notice of Eviction Unwritten Law: The Celebration Song Xzibit: LAX As for if this game is worth buy. I learned the lesson of never take anyone's opinion, since everyone has different tastes and standards for a game. So the best thing to do is just rent it first, see if you like it or not, and then make your decision from that. |

But if you have any other system aside from GC, get it for that system. The X-Box and PS2 versions are better, especially the X-Box version. |

I still suggest getting the PS2 version only because it's smoother than the Cube version |

I have it for Xbox, the game is really fun.. I don't mind the soundtrack, although it hasn't grown on me like the one from the first game. But it's not really that bad, the songs by Helmet, Paul Van Dyk, and Snapcase are all decent. |

Finally ran a few races in the game earlier, not a bad game. As fun as the first one was.. although I still think the free roam is kind of pointless. Plus I find it annoying that there's always around 2-3 cars traffic on the street when racing, and you seem to always run into them. I mean.. c'mon.. if they're gonna have traffic.. put a lot so that everyone suffers from it.. after all.. the game probably takes place in a big city.

Ok picked it up a little while ago today for Gamecube. Only played a few races, but I'm liking it so far. I love the new GPS system. If only GTA had that same feature. Was a bit hard to get use to the controls at first, but you get the hang of it after messing up a few hundred times. Haven't seen much traffic yet like ^ has, so can't comment there. Overall I'm glad I made the purchase.

It looks good on Gamecube. Unless you've done testing between different systems, don't go by what the big buys say.

Pretty sweet game. 2005 Mustang GT and GTO you say.
![]() ![]() PC version > All 3 console versions. Of course, that's pretty much a given for any game that comes out on PC and consoles. |

Since when have you seen a console game graphically better than a pc game. Never gonna happen.
Only problem with the Mustang is that it's one of the very last cars you unlock. ![]() |

I'm thinking about getting it. I don't have a good racing game. I kind of like the soundtrack, love The Bronx song but it's nothing compared to the Burnout 3 soundtrack.

This would be a good racing game to get. Unless you wait for GT4, but that's only if you wait for awhile.

Look for the Graphic Shop, it's the one with the redlights. So just drive around the town until you see a bunch of red lights, it'll lead you to it.

I've seen it on the XBox and it looks miles ahead of the Gamecube. Really can't say anything about PS2 though |

Yes, but isn't that the way it always goes between the 2?

It's always different between PS2 and Gamecube. Some say PS2 is better, some say Gamecube is better. That's what I mean that you've got to see the difference for yourself.
