A spot-on sequel to a killer game...

User Rating: 8.6 | Need for Speed: Underground 2 PC
Underground 2 is all that the predecessor was; and then some. Since there are just a few drawbacks to this killer sequel, i'm going to put them up first. Firstly, the very apparent cut down on Motion blur. You'd have to be doing over 180mph to get some sorta hint that you were speeding. Fortunately, the sound more than makes up for the blur in the provision of the sense of speed. While on the sound, the quality of the sound effects is phenomenal, the engines churning out a deep sound, and more importantly distinct sounds for different vehicles, and which change as you upgrade. The soundtrack, however, seems to have failed. An attempt at variety has killed the essence of driving music. I'd rather have NFS 3's electronic techno. Apart from that, a tremendous game! Lets just hope the next one is a sequel to NFS:High Stakes. (with supercars)
