WOW
Need for Speed Underground 2 is the sequel to the best selling console game of 2003 and builds on the original hugely.

First off, the game is no longer menu driven as racers can now drive around a fictional city picking up races to fulfill a contract or races just to gain money.

The money can then be spent at a variety of places including Graphics shops (Paint / Vinyl / Decals etc), Specialists shops (Nydraulics / Neons), Body Shops (Spoilers / Roof Scoops / Rims etc) and at performance shops (Engine / Suspension / Turbo etc)

Then you are ready to race more and there are plenty of races to compete in, including StreetX (best described as racing on the drift tracks and its no holds barred), Drag Racing, circuit racing, sprint racing and also the previously mentioned drift races. There is also the new URL (underground racing league) races which consist of a number of circuit races.

Other racers can also be raced by driving close to them and pressing up on the D-Pad (much like flashing your light in midnight club 2). These races reward you with small cash but can sometimes help in getting unique parts for your car.

Overall - N4S-UG2 is a huge overhaul from the first Underground and isnt your typical sequal.

Good game, could be better though......
i thought i was gonna love this game as the first one was brill!! i like all the races but the driving towards the races are just a waste of time. the selection of cars are ok but i thought there would be some supercars to unlock at the end such as ferrari, porsche or some other big names but they made the best car the subaru impreza!!! the upgrades dont really make any difference to your car but in the graphics shop the vinyls you can get look really cool but it takes some time before you unlock them so in the end the driving and the graphics are good, but really everything else in the game is just average but i would still recommend this game if you wanted a good driving game.

Need for Speed 2 underground
well what can i say!

i loved the first one. then when i heard there was a sequal i was over the moon! especially when i heard you could roam about the city in different parts and find races in the city.

when i first got this i thought it was wonderful, not a great deal of cars to choose from but you know you work up to the better ones or so i thought. To be honest the cars didnt get much better at all, i completed the game with the same car i originally bought as the upgrades don't differ per car they make the same amount of difference and all the cars end up being the same speed.

The new variety of races is good can't fault it however if you have it on easy it can be a bore!.

There are Five stages in all and i thought there would be more to be honest. i finished this game within 1 week and thats not because i am sad and have nothing else to do just because there isnt much too it. To me it feels un-finished!, just when i thought there was more of a storyline it said there are no more races in the world for you to complete and everythings unlocked. However when i went back into it i still hadn't managed to unlock wide body kit!

i wouldn't buy this i would just rent bit of waste i am afraid!
