This game is a great balance of fun and realism. Not as realistic as some of the other games, but just a really ridiculous amount of fun. The game modes are great (Drag, Circuit, Sprint, and Drift) and make for a good amount of variety. The graphics are fantastic, the audio is great (not enough blowoff valve noise, unfortunately), and the music is always good. The tracks are huge, have all kinds of shortcuts and opportunities for extra style points. The sense of speed is absolutely incredible, and pushing the NOS button is just too sweet. There's over 100 'missions', which makes the game appropriately long.

There's a few downsides, but none of them is overwhelming. If you don't have a high-res cable, the graphics suffer quite a bit, and gameplay suffers from fuzzy graphics turnout. The music *sometimes* feels a bit repetitive, but there's a lot of tracks, so it's not a terrible thing. I'm not huge on the trigger accelerators (prefer the buttons for acceleration) but it's also not a big deal. The steering can suddenly feel twitchy, but I suppose that happens when you're pushing 150mph. I really, really wish there was a 'wander' mode where you could wander the streets and pick a fight (see Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero).

Finally, my biggest compliment and my biggest beef with this game stem from the same thing: the VW Golf GTi. I think this is the only game that includes this amazing car (a good thing) but the research is horrible (a really bad thing.) Whoever did the research for the game intended for it to be a VW Golf (not a GTi), and the stats reflect that. Luckily, you can beef up the car to its rightful place (in front of all the other cars), so it's all good.

All in all, I give it a full 5 stars because it's amazingly fun, and is the second best street racing game I've ever played (see Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero). It's a solid, worthy buy. For the GameCube, it's definitely a good toss-up between this and Auto Modellista, and this game has a more realistic feel.

Incredible! Endless Fun.

I've played a lot of racing games - including many earlier releases in the 'Need for Speed' line - and "Underground" is one of the best. Compared to another decent racer, Breakout 2, NFS Underground is way more challenging and less cartoonish. I finished Breakout 2 in a couple of days, and never returned to it again. I've been playing NFS Underground for nearly the same amount of time, and I've barely scratched the surface. According to the level counter, I still have another 100 challenges to go before finishing.

Graphically, the game is very rich -- I happen to have a digital TV with component video cables hooked up to my GameCube and the details are so sharp they're almost distracting. In first-person view (car on screen), the frame rate is noticeably lower than playing at road-level (without the car). In this mode, the game is very intense, with a very high level of realism when you hit high speeds.

On top of that, NFS Underground isn't just running around a track. It takes place late at night in an urban setting, with lots of shortcuts, construction sites to blaze through, and even a partially-open bridge to jump over. The maps are very challenging, but a blast.

And then of course there is the car customization. I've never been into "skinning" a car in other games, but something about NFS Underground makes you want to deck out your ride with all kinds of decals, funky paint, tinted windows, wheels, under-carriage neon, and all the rest. It's actually fun, and very easy to apply.

In all, the game is a blast, and a very good value considering how many levels / challenges there are. Replay value is sky high. If you like racing games, you have to get it.

greatest racing game

This is an incredible racing game. I will tell you right now, I am not the average, "all games are great" type of guy. For instance, I think the Nascar games are the worst games on the planet, but... This game is really great! The graphics are insanely good! The gameplay is great, and the multiplayer rocks! Buy this if you have a Cube, it's great.

great racing game

The games main soundtrack is Lil John and The Eastside Boys Get Low, there are some really phat cars the musics kicks and the upgrades are insane what can't be liked. The graphics are a new style which are actually bad at first but when you get use to the diffrent look it is actually truly amazing. The sound is top notch and the fun factor is just blown out of the water by all the stuff you can do. The game is a easy 10 and the setup is perfect just get this game don't hesitate. The graphics and the way they look at first is why people might rate it low but everyone I know got use to them after an hour and said it was there favorite racing game by far.

Man if you ever play this game you wont be able to let it go. This game is a Gran Turismo look alike but ten times better. This game starts out giving you a choise between a few different cars but there isnt any upgrades yet. You have to do a few races then it will give you money and sometimes it will give you visiul upgrads and some performance upgrades. The first car you get will be slow but the fastest you could get to is two twenty mph. There are five different types of races, there is circiut, drag, drift, tornament, and sprint. So if you want a good racing game this is the game for you man.

BEST GAME EVER!!!!
