Need For Speed Underground

I'm not real big on racing games in general, but this one is pretty sweet. Anyone else here play it?

Yeah I actully bought this game when it first came out at the Frys near me. I have been playing for a while now, not sure how far I am right now but I think around 50/111 or something (The progress bar). The customization is great, Every couple races I customize my car different. Sometimes its blue / aqua kinda cool/cold look, other times I just like black and dark blue or red. Everytime I unlock new visuals I customize a new car around it.

The actual performance upgrades are fine, I expected maybe a bit more customization there but its still good. There are a couple races now that even on easy I have to play more then 3 times (Mostly just the last man standing and circuit ones). The drag races are easy and fun, I like how they set that up. The skidding one (cant think of name off hand, im at school) is the easiest to rack up huge points and its always easy to win. Im great at that skidding thing.

The graphics are great on my geforce 4 ti 4800, with everything set to max. I tried that speed blur like 2 days after I started playing the game because I read that it was pretty cool, but I cant get used to that. No slowdowns on my comp with everything max and I only have 256 ram with 2.0ghz proc.

Hey WW, how bout a few screenshots of your car? =] Ill post some when I get home tonight. Anyone else who plays, feel free to post screenshots.

Is it all courses(like grand turismo) or is it open city(like Midnight Club 2) I would like to know, cause that tells me if it is worth it or not cause i own Midnight Club 2 and it is the bomb digadi.

It's courses, not open.

I call it a ricer simulation.

Pretty much. At least there are performance upgrades and not just BS, though.

Edit:

My cars: Underground mode (I'm only up to race 11 on underground mode) Quick race.

My god this is a freaking sweet game on a 128MB DDR ATI 9600 video card and a 2.4ghz cpu with 1024mb of DDR ram!!
Best racing game I've ever played when it comes to graphics!!! Blur mode rockerz my sockerz!!

Gah i lent my cd to a friend and he has yet to return it... -.-

oh yeah need for speed is hella badass i still claim that all race games such as the illustrius Grand Turismo 1 2 3 and soon to be 4 (best racing game of all times) should remain on PS2

I hate that its only for ps, I really would love to play GT on my puter :/

i thought u just said u had it on your computer? and penguin also said earlier that he had it on his computer, but i might get this game cuz my cousin said it had multiplayer too

Tokyo Extreme Racer 3 for ps2 is better.. the pc version of Need for speed might be good but the one for ps2 looks cheesey

If Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 is anything at all like the original one for Dreamcast, then I seriously hope you were joking with that statement.

yea you can play it online too

Just download the emulator or w/e

It has superb music.

if anyone plays this game online drop me a line i love this game! its graphics and gameplay are way better than any other game ever!
