Rating: 10

Time with product: 1

Strengths: Car customization, Racing types, Free roaming city

Weaknesses: Bad story/voice acting

Summary: Fantastic racing game. It's really fun to customize the cars and buy new ones and the sense of speed is great. The story is horrible as is Brooke Burke's voice acting, but who really cares anyway? The story is just something to try to tie all the races together, but the game is fun to play and that's all that counts. You should already have this game, but if you don't, get it!

Strengths: This was the best NFS title and it was bumped from the top by Need for Speed: Most Wanted Black Edition. This is a good game and definitely worth the money.

Weaknesses: The only problem is that you can't just go out and buy a car. You have to wait for a sponsorship and then you can have a car for free.

Summary: This game is jam packed with some of the best graphics and gameplay out there. It is designed so that you can change the most uncool car to an extreme car. Underground 2 has the same cool street racing feel and customizing feel as Underground but with a lot more cars, and a free-roaming enviornment. A must have if you haven't bought it yet!!!

Strengths: Fun racing game, beautiful graphics on GC and PC versions

Weaknesses: weak story

Summary: Most sequels have weak stories. I think its a rule. That said...This game is a lot of fun. The races will keep any racer gamer entertained, (even if they are easy). I liked it because you can progress and get nicer cars until the Nissan 350Z. The import car culture is quicly accelerating (nice diction...) and this game proves it. From shocks to bodykits to spoilers and roof scoops, this game has every type of custimization available. I'd just warn not to make a rice burner, but the car graphics are available too. ;)
