Action

Need For Speed Underground 2 takes place in Bayview after the events of Need for Speed: Underground. The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan Skyline R34 in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.

Still a fun game to play. Better when you have 90's club classics as the background music.

Played it during my Throwback Thursday Nostalgia Streams and I couldn't keep playing to finish the game, it eventually got repetitive enough where I lost interest in playing. Very Nostalgic though.

What a Great game when i started it up i had no ideia how good it is. For a early 2000s racing game there is so much content, Things like tuning up your ride performance and visuals(i spent hours in those it is so good), tons of different racing modes. One thing that caught me was the sound of the game the cars engine, revving was something i wasn't expecting to be so damn good (my favorites was the celica and the mustang) If you're a racing game fan this is a must play don't do like that took years to try this out

Need for Speed: Underground 2

This game nails the aesthetic, controls/design, modes, and progression. Aesthetically, I just adore the tuning culture made popular in the early 2000s. The midnight streets with ambient lighting is resonant in real life, and the sounds of the car boosting and screeching isn't unique to this game but they didn't screw it up which is great. Definitely a podcast type game, soundtrack fits great but no standouts besides the title theme. Controls wise, part of why I like this is due to a great handling model. Turning feels good, I can usually move around cars even when boosting, drifting is generous with keeping momentum while in it and smooth exiting. Part of it is design, if I don't move around a car in time the crash feels good with slow-mo but also doesn't put me too far behind. If I do start a turn too late, most courses have walls that don't slow my momentum too much. I'm not a person who puts on the brakes, and this game doesn't force me to do so to feel good. Modes are numerous. We have normal lap race in Circuit, tighter lap race in Street X/URL, and no lap race in Sprint. We have drifting modes which, due to the generous controls, feel great to rack up dummy points. Either competing in a circuit against opponents or against a set score in a downhill jam. Then the drag races require crisp timing for shifting gears and feel nice to master, and if you lose you only wasted 15 seconds of your life. No complaints about any of them. Finally, the progression. It has an limited open-world type progression, where you're in one part city that all of the races take place in and they're located around the map. The size isn't too big where you'd get lost, but big enough where race locations don't feel same-y. You have certain story progression parts, including a sick final race, and even doing every race on the map only requires around 25 hours. A very manageable 100% that does not overstay its welcome given how many modes it has.

Это наркотик для меня. Первая «серьезная» игруха на комп. Плачу, сколько воспоминаний в ней.
