Brooke Burke to star in Need for Speed Underground 2

Electronic Arts today announced that it has signed thrill seeker and cover girl Brooke Burke to star in Need for Speed Underground 2. Burke will play a streetwise underground race organizer named Rachel who takes players under her wing, guides them through the game's large free-roaming city environment, and helps them to become the best racer they can.

"I'm an absolute adrenaline junkie and car freak in real life, so starring in Need for Speed Underground 2 is a huge thrill," said Burke, who is best known as the host of E! Entertainment Television's Wild On travel series. "Need for Speed Underground 2 really captures one of the reasons I love my cars so much--they're a canvas for self-expression."

Need for Speed Underground 2 is currently scheduled for release on the PC and all current-generation consoles on November 17.
