if you like the fast and the furios or 2fast... or if you like turbocharged nos cars then this is the perfect game for you. you can play up to 4 players and pick real cars from the real world including the mits eclipse, skyline, impreza, supra and many others. if you love a game where you can custimiz EVERYTHING out of your car then this is perfect. decals, vinals, window tinting, neon, tail lights, head lights, tail pipe, roof scoop, bumpers, hood, rims, paint, and of course the performance stuff like ecu fuel computer, suspension, nos, brakes, engine/exaust and lots more. lots of chalenging races with a huge party for the winner with hot chicks surrounding you and the car, cheering. get free parts if you accept a challenge from other garage or car owners. see your car on real magazines including Modified, import tuner, and turbo charged. also it features jump cameras which get the better view if you get air or flip up in the air from hitting something. choose from multiple races including drag, circut, lap knockout, drift adn others. if you tried other racing games and were not satisfied, give this game your last chance and youll love it.

i just picked this up at gamestop a few hours ago. i'm not going to launch into some insanely huge review, however i do want to say that the xbox version is just awesome. the graphics look amazing. the sounds are very realistic, and the cars handle very well. there are so many upgrades available for the cars, including turbos, nitrous, wheels, and A TON more. this game is so much better than older need for speed games! if you're at all interested in this sort of thing, absolutely get the game.

Best Racing game I have ever played

I have played alot of racing games, but know racing game has ever made me feel the speed like this one has. You actually feel like your in car. The sound quality is superb. I've never heard sounds like this in any game. I think this game has the best sound production ever. You have to play this game too understand how good the sound quality is.

I realize I only like racing games that allow you too customize your cars. You have never seen customization like this in any game. You can customize your car forever. Your car will look like nobody else's car.

The graphics are perfect. There is nothing wrong with the graphics at all in this game.

The music could have been much better. I don't understand why they didn't let us use the custom soundtrack for this game. I had too turn off Lil Jon because my head was hurting me.

OMG....The Drag racing mode is amazing. Once again the speed you get in this game is in no other racing game.

I only have two problems with this game. No custom soundtrack and no Xbox Live support. Hopefully they will fix that in Need for Speed Underground 2.

This game is the BIBLE to street racing fans.

Excellent game

I just got this game a couple of days ago. It it awesome! First of all, the graphics are top notch. The special effects when you start going faster that 100mph are really cool. Second of all, the handling is easy and responsive. Also, there are TONS of modifications you can do to your car, from neon to NOS, even body kits. The types of races that you can do are circuit, which is just 2-4 laps around in a circle, drag, which is a staight race over a mile of highway, drift, which is trying to score as many points as possible by moving your car side to side, sprint which is just a race from point A to point B, and tournaments, which is three races, and the person with the most points at the end of it win. The "Underground" mode is very deep, and you'll spend hours on end, speedin' through the ranks of top racers in the city. Even if your not really into the racing video games, this is a must buy. 5 stars.

Seriously, how can you diss this game...

the retard gamer from corpus christi should of bought the game for ps2 or the computer if he wanted online play. Its not only for xbox. Challenging AI is needed to make the game worth playing. Yes, sometimes it gets frustrating when they pass you up on the last lap, but keep at it, and you'll eventually get the hang of it. The customization is endless. What also makes this game so unique is that it actually makes it look like you are going that fast. The surroundings begin to blur slightly as you increase speed, the game is a much more of a thrill to play than say Gran Turismo. Not to put down that game, Gran turismo 3 is one, if not the greatest racing sim today. You dont need to know anything about cars to play this game. You dont need to be a gearhead by having to tune your gear ratio or ride height. Even if you dont like racing, give this game a shot, it will be worth your time.

Great game with only one flaw.

This by far the best racing game yet. I can't wait to see how they are going to top this game with NFS Underground 2. The game play is very challenging. The farther along you are in the game the tougher it gets. Sometimes too tough but extremely awesome. The only flaw this game has in my mind is that once you beat the game, unless you buy all of the parts before you beat it you can't put them on any car unless you start all over again. I think that once you win you shoul have all of the parts that are on the parts shelves. Awesome game.

WHAT A GREAT GAME!

I was skeptical when I picked this game up, but I am glad that I did. I feel like I am living in THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS. The options of personalizing your car are endless.

JUst a kick ass game

This game is one of the best racing games i have ever played. I was a little skeptical about buying it on a counter all the other racing games i bought were major dissapointments but it proved me wrong. The game just has endless possibilities. You can cahnge from many different cars and add an enourmous amount of accessories to ur car. ex. body kit, engines, NoS. The great part about this game is the drag mode. It is just like the fast and the furious. The graphics are superb too. THe only bad part about this game is that some races are soo hard that they are dissapointing. Overall id advise all you car lovers to buy this game. Even if ur not a car lover go out and buy it anyway.

The Best NFS Yet

This is the first NFS that I have NOT bought for a PC. I have owned all the rest, and this one is the most fun by far. I am not into racing simulations, but lean much more toward arcade-style racers. This game starts off slow, but as you begin winning and upgrading, your ride gets exponentially better. For example, I am about halfway though the game (55/111 races) and have a Acura RSX Type-S taht will hit 210mph! Its nice that the computer AI will fight back -- so be carefull when you try to crash someone into oncoming traffic. I don't know if the cutscenes/dialouge are *suppossed* to be so funny, but they are. The only problem is that I have to remember when I'm driving on the road, for REAL, to NOT drive like this game!!

Amazing in all aspects

This game is really fun all around. If want to just play it by yourself or with some buddies. The best part is the huge array of options you can use to change your car.
