After the first Need For Speed: Underground game, the series became popular. Now that the second one came out a year later, is it better? Gameplay: The ability to customize your car has gone through unbelivable changes. You now have ability to customize almost every aspect of your car. From the interior to exterior. You can also customize the parts you add on to a great extent to get every little bit of juice out of your car. The ability to also set your car to be better at circuit, drag, or sprint is also amazing. The free roam is also a nice feature. Overall, the gameplay is awesome. I just don't like the fact that you have to drive to missions or certain stores to get your car cusomized. Graphics: The graphics over the last one has not improved or decreased. The textures in some areas are still pretty bad, but the reflections are nice. The lights that show the shops are pretty bad as well, the other lights in the city are nice though. Overall the graphics are still above par, just not great. Sound: The sound is great for the cars, but the crash sounds seem unreal. The songs are pretty bad, except for some which are awesome. There isn't much to say about the sound except the voice acting is average so don't expect anything great. Value: The online play is good for about a few months after the game is released, then less people join online. Once you finish the game though, its fun to customize to make your own cars, as there is over 70 BILLION combinations. Reviewer's Tilt: The game overall is really good. I wouldn't let this game go under 8.5 as it is still great fun. If your into racing and love making your own cars, this game is definately for you.
