Not Built Enough For Speed
Since the Need For Speed franchise came into the video game world back in the mid 90's, there has arguably been no denying the success of trying to be the fast & the furious. Although it has shown its highs like Need For Speed III did with Hot Pursuit and its sequel Hot Pursuit 2, there also have been some versions with absolute lowpoints as well like Need For Speed Porsche Unlimited, and other smaller versions of the game too. Although the game remains a popular favorite, there have also been times where the need to be fast and furious can also be told in the shadows of the underground racing scene. That is said with this game. Need For Speed Underground for the Playstation 2, is a game that does try to deliver into the need for being the fastest in the underworld. The game of course shows you as you try to work your way to the top by earning points to pimp up your look of your car, and the style as well from bumpers and spoilers, to faster engines and weight reductions. The game handles well in the graphics and the music as you go through several different races from sprints and circuits, to lap knockouts and the thrill of the drag racing scene too. Sadly, there are a lot of unfortunate disadvantages to this edition. One of them is the lack of courses. Even though they are all set in one big city, you will be battling the same courses more than once in each match of the game. Not only that, the controls are also a bit shallow too in some cars, where you might lose your grip and crash into an oncoming vehicle or train. All in all, Need For Speed Underground isn't a bad game, but it just could've used some more variety. Instead, I really suggest you buy its sequel Need For Speed Underground 2, or Need For Speed: Most Wanted. There are much more thrills and challenges in those editions, that this one. This edition just misses the need for real speed. Graphics: B Sound: B Control: C 1/2+ Fun & Enjoyment: C Overall: C 1/2+
