Awesome game...

Very, very fun game. Where to start. Well the graphics are crazy, its hard to look at it and think "wow, this is a hand help game!". The soundtrack is very good, alot of rap, rock, techno, most of this songs where used in need for speed underground 2. Also if you know how to, you can customize your soundtrack to listen to whatever you want, how cool is that? The loading times are very good, they only take like 4-9 seconds,sometimes faster, now compare that to midnight club 3 witch take almost 60 seconds! Dont belive me, play the two and compare. They also put in a new racing mode, nitro run, very fun its a regular circut race, except you have to clear a certain amount of checkpoints using as much NOS as you can. There are alot of cars to choose from, from import to domesitc. And wireless gameplay with other people is just plain cool. A couple of things I did not like about this game was the upgrade appearance parts. There are not many, some cars only have 4 hoods and 5 body kits to choose from. Compared to the council version this is bad. So yes there is a poor amount of appearance parts for the cars. Also the drifting game mode (one of my favs on the council version) there is only one driving course, and it really, really easy. It almost gets boring. So they took my favorite part of need for speed underground and made it boring.

Overall this game is very good, I dont regret spending my money on it, it is preety addicting. All bad points aside if you are a fan of the need for speed underground series buy this. If you are skeptic rent it and check it out. Full Review
