This game is unbelievable, you do have to win races to upgrade and custimize your car but it is worth it. There are three levels to all the visual and performance, the NOS is so helpful and once you get to the races in the 80's or 90's you get the NISSAN SKYLINE from 2Fast 2Furious. It may seem like there are alot of races but they go pretty quick. The handling for your car is horrible at first but about 10 races later when you get your suspension upgrade the handling is great. For your first car I suggest the Honda Civic or the Mazda Miata. They are top starting cars. And if you want to get a different car you can trade it in for another, once I got the skyline, I traded it in as fast as I could and it looks and plays like the best car in the game! Good Luck! I Suggest You Buy It NOW!

Okay, it's plain-this game is awesome.The tracks could have used a little bit for difference from one and another,but overall EA did a great job.Only problem with the cars is that they are all imports,no American muscle cars-it needed a Comaro,GTO,and Viper.Best part of the game is that you can customize your ride to your tatse(my neon green RX-7 has decals and wheels/tires/performance parts-it's awesome!!).Another great thing about it is that it has bout 125 levels.Also, it has Drag,Circuit,Sprint,Free Drive,and Drift race modes.Going Underground lets you race for $$$,but from the main menu,you can customize any car for free-personally,I think that you should have to buy parts for Quick Race cars as well.For people who like Gamecube racing games, this is a must buy.

It just surprises me when it comes to video games these days. Especially with all the hype and feel coming toward them, and then when you've played them out, you have nothing else to play with. That comes within the case of racing games these days, they all seem to be just the exact same thing. That does come with the case for Need For Speed. They have made quite a handful of great racing games, and made its way into one of the most popular racing series games of all time. Although the quality is great, the feeling can become quite overdubbed these days. Largely, because all racing games need to be exactly the same ideas of fast cars and killer tracks, not music though.
Need For Speed: Underground is considered a remake of the Midnight Club series for the Sony Playstation 2. Although it never made it into the Gamecube as much as Need For Speed, the game in itself feels like it. This game deals with all of its courses into one big city, which offers all different kinds of street raving games and courses. Although each course gets repetitive, largely because the game takes place in one location, rather a whole set of locations the previous Need For Speed games considered. Still, the game offers a lot of great automobiles to drive in, including the Ford Focus, the Mazda RX-7, the Toyota Celica, and Nissan's longtime automobile, the Sentra R edition. Another downside is that the music really is more of a downside as well, with too many performers in the fields of Rap. Hip Hop, and Hard Rock, there is no sense in actual feels for decent music. That is more annoying than the game itself. All in all, this is a pretty challenging racing game, and is worth the wait for die hard racers.
It just really surprises me about how much these racing games are in detail, like Need For Speed: Underground. I strongly suggest you get this game, only if you're a die hard racer. If you've played Midnight Club 2 for Playstation 2, don't buy this one, you will only be wasting your money.
FUN FUN!!!

I love this game. The graphics are awesome. The only problem was that the underground mode was fairly easy to beat. Another thing was that the tracks are kind of redundant because you see a lot of the same places over and over again. Also, there is no cruising mode where you just cruise around the city. There is pretty much endless replay because there are so many ways that you customize your own cars. It's great that in splitscreen mode that you and your friend can race against each other with your own cars, except that you have to transfer your files own to a single memory card. This game is much better than Midnight Club 2. All in all, this game is great and you should get it because it's definately worth your []money.

This game is everything I expected and more. There are tons of options when it comes to tricking out your ride. I loved the different paint schemes and the variety of graphics you could choose from for the cars. You move through the game at a fairly good pace. It is not like Gran Turismo for the PS2, where you have to race for hours just to get new exhaust. The courses are well laid out and the graphics are mind boggling. The game also has a great sound track as most NFS games. This game is definitely for you if you like fantasy Fast and the Furious type games, but if you like simulators, I would not recommend it.
Pros: Variety are cars and options to customize your ride. The graphics and the soundtrack are well done. The controls are easy to use. One of the best if not the best tuner race game I have played.
Cons: Sometimes you go a little to fast and inexperienced gamers may have a hard time staying in the race. They give you to many decal and dress up options at the end of the races instead of what you need to win the races. By the time you get to the good engine parts, you have already beaten the game.
Overall: As a tuner car nut, I loved this game. It would be great if they added some more European cars though like BMW M3s or Audi TTs
NFSU ROCKS!!

NFSU (need for speed underground) is a great game. Yes your car may be slow in the beginning, but it just gets better. Graphics are awesome in color: the lights, neon bar, and even the asphalt looks good with it being wet. Modify your car to make it a 5 star reputation (the best). I havn't beat this game yet... but i am not discouraged (even though i lose every time) I highly recommend this game for people that like fast pace racing games!! TRUST ME!!!
buy it now
