Need for Speed: Underground

Electronic Arts rules when it comes to making games like these. The music, the gameplay, the sound effects, and sometimes even the story. If you're interested in going very fast, and moving up the ranks faster than ever, then give this game a try.

You are somewhat of an inexperienced driver who joins the underground street scene. You meet up with the beautiful, yet tough Samantha, who helps you through your first few races. You must buy and build up your car, and make it look cool so that you, the driver, are as cool and good as everyone who races.

I have to say, i was blown out of the water by the soundtrack. Lil' Jon's "Get low" is pretty much the main song for this game, however, it's not an exclusive, like mistikal's "get faster" or Petey Pablo's "Need for speed". there's also good rock alternative music like Story of the year's "And the hero will drown", Static-X's "The only", X-ecutioner's "Body Rock" and Hotwire's "Invisible".

It's a perfect buy. 10/10

The only two Need For Speed games that I would replay again are Shift 1 (2009) and Underground 1 (2003). To me, Underground 2 and the 2005 Most Wanted are more diverse and, at the same time, boring when compared to Underground 1.

The handling, the tracks, and the overall sense of speed in Underground 1 are much more appealing to me than in any other NFS. It is just that the overall gameplay in Underground 1 is smoother and more polished, even with the awful traffic crashes.

With MW and U2, I kind of miss the addictive driving experience that Underground 1 has. There is something about the handling of the cars that fits in perfectly with the types of tracks at the Olympic City in Underground 1.

I'm not a big fan of racing games. I think they are boring and closed ended. With the exception of Mario Kart Need for Speed was a cool unique game. The gameplay and graphics were the best I've felt for any racing game.

NFSU was a great racing game for pc, despite the bar being set real low for racing games. It was just so smooth, colourful and a blitz to play.

This game is magic, soundtrack, personalizations for cars, gameplay, sound effects, everything is good.

EA Blackbox just made truly awesome Need for Speed video Games. Underground is just amazing, the graphics are superly overmade and great, and man there are so many race modes to choose from Drags, Drifting, circuits, sprints, lap knockouts, and time trials! The tunnel where you manage and customize cars is great and this game takes customization to a whole new level. You can even paint Engine accents in this game! The city may not be big so the race tracks might get repetitive but despite of that the great soundtrack of this game will never get you bored. The soundtrack just gives the player a huge adrenaline rush which makes you want to race forever with the most challenging AI of opponents in hard mode and the AI of the traffic is even more challenging and disturbing. The jumps that resemble to mostly 2 fast 2 furious just makes this amazing game even more better than ever. No one should ever miss out this game!
