EA takes the Need for Speed series to the underground for the second time in as many years and has produced a winner once again. Need for Speed Underground 2 isn’t all that different from the first game, but it features more parts, more cars, and more stuff and is a better game overall. It isn’t completely free of problems, but NFSU2 is still a great racing game and stands among the best racers available on the Xbox.Need for Speed Underground 2 isn’t completely without problems, however. In fact, a lot of the complaints I had with the first game are still present here. The thing that bothers me the most is that in the career mode you aren’t actually able to make a car look the way you want it to look. Each part has points that contribute to the overall visual score of your car. In order to proceed through the game you have to meet certain visual points milestones. That means that you have to use the newest and the best even if you don’t like the way it looks. That is lame.
The other problems are mostly little nitpicky issues that are annoying, but I don’t think they really detract form the overall experience. The wide open city design is a cool idea on paper, but you spend way too much time just driving back and forth to get to shops instead of racing and that gets boring fast. Also, none of the difficulty levels provide a challenge simply because you can build an awesome car and just smoke everyone. And finally, what is the deal with traffic cars? If you bump them they slam on the brakes and you can’t move them so you have to usually back up in order to get around.
