I saw alot of the previews and details for this game and it is hot. It is gunna have better cars, and the rumor is that therez cars that got spinning rims. This game got betta levels and better A.I. I dont think it'll be better than Gran Turismo 4, but it is a defintly good racing game for all racing gamers. Faster cars, better and more exciting courses, and better graphics. If I were you I would buy Need For Speed Underground together with Gran Turismo 4.

The ultimate racing series returns with a Darker Face

I have always considered Need For Speed as the most brilliant Racing series along with Gran Tursimo , and actually the latest installment in the Hot Pursuit branch was simply amazing , and now the NFS returns to invade the illegal Racing Genre .

Filled with amazing graphics and astonishing cars details , the game deals witht the illegal racing , which is a new approach for the NFS Series , there is a lot of modified cars like the Turbo Charged Toyota Supra and the Mitsubishi Eclipse along with many other cars that will appear in the game , all modified,charged and guranteed to give you the ltimate experience of streets racing .

The upgraded engines means superpower for the racing , so the main point here is not planning to win the race but learning how to control the Vehicle you are driving because appearently any uncontroled move means plugging your vehicle in the nearest wall or car , and don't forget that the game are taking place in the streets , not in an isolated arenas like the previous games , the Developers of this game has recreated the Downtown Hongkong so you can enjoy the thrill of peeding through the various streets of the town , but be aware when you are using the NOS , because as you have seen it in the fats and the furious movies , your vision blurs and you almost can't see anything through the waterfall of colors surrounding you , so only the skilled players will make it to the end point .

NFS:UnderGround is coming with full speed to slice it's way through the PS2 world , and only the skillful players with patience will win the race .

When I played this game for my Xbox with Componant Video from Monster Cable and HDTV It was crazy, I mean the graphics look so real it blew me away. It is the best racing game in the market espspeicially if you have Component Video Cable HOOKED up into an HDTV.I'm telling you to whom ever is reading this it's ok if you dont have Monster Cable and HDTV it will still blow you're head away from the exitment,rush,and fun with NEED FOR SPEED UNDERGROUND.

A New Step in the Series.

Any fan of the Need For Speed series will be able to tell one thing from Need for Speed Underground, and that is that this new game is pretty much unlike any of the other previous titles in the series. This time through, Electronic Arts is breaking new ground for the series, and is going to the streets for racing flava this time through. Underground is all about street racing, which is seeming to be the next big thing in racing titles as the Midnight Club series has proven. But I am hopeful for something in this new game, and that is I hope that it's able to bring a new style to the street racing genre. I am a fan of Midnight Club, but let's face the truth. Midnight Club lacks many key components that prevent it from being the ultimate in street racing titles. Street Racing Syndicate and a game based on The Fast and the Furious are two other street titles currently in development, but from videos and playing demos of these two games at E3, they are shaping up to be quite lackluster. So far, Underground has terrific graphics, sound, and most important of all, gameplay and speed physics. The San-Francisco based city that the game takes place in looks sharp as well as nearly everything else that I have seen so far. EA has even brought in an Academy-Award winning special effects designer to help them in the game's building process. As far as Midnight Club goes, it lacks in sound, graphics, and above all, the game lacks in gameplay and style. Midnight Club and Midnight Club II both bored me just a week or so after playing them. Another poor feature of the MC series is average multiplayer racing. Underground is working very hard to be a great multiplayer experience on the PS2, and the multiplayer looks awesome so far. Another thing that I am excited about is customization. No other NFS titles have included customization to a heavy degree, but Underground does. You will start out driving, let's say, a normal Ford Focus, but depending on how you handle things, it could become the most awesome car on the streets. Yes, the series does look like that maybe it slowed down its gameplay a little bit, and another reason for this is because at least in the earlier stages of development for this game, it was possible to completely destroy your car, and it took a load of cash to repair. The slower pace may dissapoint some gamers, but I really don't have a problem with it. EA has never let me down, and let's all hope that they put enough time into Need For Speed Underground to make it a street racing masterpiece!

Cha-Ching!

this is only the most closest game around. One of the reasons is because it has the Mistubishi Eclipse which is my fav. car! This game is a definite must to have. If i could, id rate it 6 stars of 5. NOS is the only way to go---->zoom, zoom ;).
Peace.

Awesome

Darker than the other versions, with normal street cars and as much fun. I would say it was even more fun because there are factors like trains and trams to dodge during the race. Pure fun.

While i'm close to being a kid my self, upon reading the other reviews posted for this game i have to stop and ask my self....whats wrong with kids today. This game is so much fun, you'll put down halo. you'll put down GTA. you'll put down Gran Turisimo 4. These other reviews....with the exception of one...don't tell you about the game, just thier favorite cars and nos and "TRD". yea, ok guys, that has something to do with this game. The graphics are second to none. the gameplay is exciting and always gives you something to do. there are plenty of cars to choose from so you never get bored, and with all the body kit options, paint job options, and and decal options your car will not look even CLOSE to the same as someone elses. The A.I keeps you on your toes. So parents if your buying this for your kids, your picking well. no harsh violence, no bloody car wrecks. and kids your gonna love it
