Full Review of Need for Speed Underground 2 for PlayStation 2
Previous | Other Reviews for this game

This game has been one of my favorite games since it came out. I bought it I believe the day of it's release, seeing as the first game I played was in the Need for Speed series. This game is an all round game. Drive, meet new people, and have as much fun as possible.

Graphics

The graphics are great considering the game was created in 2004. When your car turns over or you use hydraulics, the wheel has no connection towards the body. That's about the only down-setting in the graphics. Maybe the way the bumps are set up and how not every way that looks like you can go through, lets you.

Sound

The sound is fantastic! Being able to change the levels of it and to mute certain sounds is very useful. I like most the songs on here, and the off, on, and racing only option works great. The engines sound real, as does the braking and clutch. It's a pretty realistic system.

Gameplay

The gameplay in this game is... Outstanding! Being able to tune the settings on the car the way you like helps you play so much better. I love the setting, and the cars. They have enough races to keep you occuppied and busy and full of joy for quite awhile.

Lastability

This game takes quite awhile to beat. It's even fun after beating it... You get to tune the cars to your liking, and race with them with friends and get better, and better, by practicing. Maybe even set some records? The current drift record I know is 3.3 million off a single drift :).

Overall

I give this game a 9 out of 10. The only thing that really turned me over was the graphics. They were fantastic except for the way the car is put together. This game is one of the best games out there, if you have the money, go buy it, it's worth it :).
