Need for Speed Underground (Sony PlayStation 2, 2003)

17 year old daughter wanted this game, she loves to build her own car and drive as fast as she can. It's a good thing that she's not driving a real car with some of the turns and slides she does on this game. For the most part, she has a good time. I personally don't like all the rap music the play on here.

Why did I buy NFS: Underground? That's easy. I bought it because of the graphics, music, fast paced action and all the beautiful cars one can dream of customizing into a racing treat. I'm the kind of guy who loves speed. Think about it, where else can you buy a car, customize it and race legally. Nowhere except in a video game. Now this is no ordinary racing game. It blends colors and scenery into a daytime and night time master piece. I used to have the NFS collection for Nintendo GameCube, which had great graphics and real detail of everything, from the grill of the cars to the expressions on peoples faces. It really out did the franchise when they brought out NFS: Most Wanted. When you play, you can see real people coming up into your face and trash talking. So, why did I buy it? The real question is, why haven't you bought it yet.

This game is my favorite Need for Speed game. Go underground and take on several different street racers and push your way up the list of top racers. Complete racing objectives in catigories like: sprint, drag, drift, circuit, knock out, and tournaments. Earn enough money and use it to totally trick out your ride. In the shop you can choose hoods, side skirts, spoilers, paint jobs, roof scoops, headlights, tail lights, performance upgrades, and much more. This is a game you simply must play.

I got this game for our son, but I must say it is allot of fun, now I find myself addicted to.You get to pick your car, and custom it out. have yet to go online with it, but I know it can, have to try that next time, I give it 4 stars.

This is our first PS2 game and mostly played by my kids. I have played with them and compared to some of the games we have purchad after this one it is a pretty ggod game. Graphics are good (not great) and ability to control the cars is good (not great). Things my kids like most are: Ability to customize your racecar and real life sound effects.
