Great looking Innovative game plus some repetitive gameplay

User Rating: 8.6 | Need for Speed: Underground 2 PC
Need for speed underground2 is innovative game with a very nicely designed interface, however it does suffer from some repetitive gameplay. The game is very innovative in my opinion. The idea of giving the player an entire city to explore is just brilliant, this suddenly changes a boring and linear game to an interesting and open-ended game. You feel much more involved, and you really feel that you are just an underground racer placed in a huge world with all the events happening around you and you can proceed through the game however you like. The problem with the gameplay is that it's a bit too repetitive in my opinion, if EA had made the game shorter then this wouldnt be a problem. The graphics of NFSU2 is pretty good, it looks more polished than the first NFSU game, yet surprisingly enough it still runs pretty smooth in most cases, I did experience some performance problem when racing with five other cars in a large URL track or a large drift track, but the performance generally is pretty good. My system spec: P4 2.4 1GB of DDR RAM ATI Radeon9800 PRO One more thing I love driving my car into the mountain and view the city from there, if u know a good spot the view can be spectacular!! The sound of NFSU2 is also fairly good, I have a good speaker system, so when accelerate the car from rest I could feel the table shaking. The music in NFSU2 isnt as good as the music in NFSU, but it's really all about taste. The value of NFSU2 is pretty good, you have a pretty lengthy career mode, plus a quick race mode and a multiplayer mode which has a far better netcode than the previous version. All adds up to be a pretty good package.
