Need for Speed Underground 2

Race against other cars on various circuits in the city.

Need for Speed Underground 2 is an extension of the original game. With more cars to choose from, the game is a little more fun to play. Starting in the garage, you can select a car that you like from multiple tuners that include the Honda Accord and Toyota Celica. You won't have a lot of money to work with at first, but it's enough to do a few modifications to get some speed in order to win a few races.

Once you start winning races, you earn respect points from the other drivers. You also win money that can be used to perform numerous modifications to your car. There is a bit of everything in the way of modifications with the game, such as spoilers, rims, cold air intake systems, and components to make the car faster.

Another plus in the game is that there are more designs to choose from if you want to change the look of the car. There are more paint colors and schemes to choose from as well as different rim colors. The music in the game has been upgraded, and you can drive from a first-person point of view. While this feature has always been in the game, the graphics have been updated, giving a better scene while you're behind the wheel of the car. There is a story that is a part of the career if you pay attention. You're sent to a new city where rival drivers are trying to take you off of the streets, which is why you have to prove yourself in every race that you run.
