Need for Speed: Underground 2

aka: NFSU2
Moby ID: 15699

Summary

The best selling racer of 2003 makes a stunning return in Need For Speed Underground 2.

A massive city with five distinct districts is both your driving school and playground. Explore, hone your skills, find the hottest race spots and track down the most essential after-sales parts. Upgrade, tweak and modify your ride to perfection, then take it online and make your mark on the streets.

Details

Go deeper into the world of tuner culture than ever, boosting your way around a living, breathing city with over 200km of drivable road. Unlike its more linear predecessor, NFSU2 gives you complete freedom to explore the city as a whole, playing more of the events you like and less of the ones you don't.

Three new modes sit alongside the returning Circuit, Drift and Drag modes, testing every facet of your driving ability. Best of all, if you can do it offline, you can also do it online thanks to full network support for all of NFSU2's game modes.

The city's five distinct neighbourhoods, which are all linked by a complex series of freeways, offer wildly different challenges. Varying track types, road surfaces, weather conditions and environmental hazards all conspire to push your skills to their limits.

Performance tuning is taken to new levels, with 20 different areas of the car now fully customisable. You can even optimise your ride for specific events, then save out the settings and load them up whenever they're needed.

Between the performance and visual customisation options, the number of vehicle variants runs well into billions, so make sure your ride's truly individual before you race it online.

Features

  • Explore a massive city, online and off

  • Dozens of new cars, hundreds of after-sales parts

  • Involving storyline with appearances from Kelly Brook and Brooke Burke

Join the underground racing subculture.

Time to return to the underground for cool cars and hot racing.

Features * Free-roaming * Unlock new races * New gameplay modes * Thirty tuner cars * Twice the visual customizations of Need for Speed Underground

Taking on the mean streets is the only way to gain respect in the underground racing scene. Need for Speed Underground 2 drops you off at the curb; it's up to you to survive.

Street racing games are both a test of skill and a clash of personalities. Everybody thinks they're the best, but at the end, only one car can be first. It's up to you to try to be first in the more than 150 challenges that cover 125 miles of pavement.

The massiveness of the city in Need for Speed Underground 2 can't be understated. The city encompasses five different neighborhoods that you can roam freely as you search out races and respect.

It's easy to divide the draw to the game in half: racing and customization. New to the racing part of the franchise this year are additional contests, including Sprints and performance tuning. Customization junkies will get their fix with dozens of new cars and thousands of aftermarket upgrades from window tint to engines.

The Underground is an exclusive club, that's why it's not called "above ground." You can't just pull up to any car and race. You need to gain respect. The more respect you have, the more apt people are to let you in on the location of other races. To get respect, just win, baby. Just win. You'll unlock more than just races. A whole world of shops, cars and even sponsorships await you.

The racing action in the game doesn't blow you away, but it's solid. The well-designed streets and sudden changes in weather enhance the racing. Still, ultra-customization stands as the best feature of Need for Speed Underground 2. EA says you can make billions of car customization combinations. That's probably right. Gamers can swap out just about every single part of the car, including the audio in the trunk. The only boundary is the one in your mind.

The ultimate goal is to get in the Underground Racing League. You need some rep, some pizzazz and a little karma from resident Need for Speed Underground 2 hottie Brooke Burke to get you there.

Bottom Line

Customization and racing junkies should sprint to this sequel.

Aber zuerst muss man eine Gelegenheit finden, sein Können zu beweisen. Rennen können überall und zu jeder Zeit stattfinden. Der Spieler trifft seine Rivalen auf der Straße und erfährt hier, wo er die heißesten Upgrades kaufen oder an den angesagtesten Rennen teilnehmen kann. *** Neue Gameplay-Modi: Drei neue Spielmodi werden den Rundkurs-, Drift- und Drag-Strecken des letzten Jahres hinzugefügt und fordern den Spieler in zahlreichen Disziplinen heraus. *** Leistungstuning: Die Leistung des Fahrzeugs kann in allen Bereichen aufgewertet werden.
