It is the seventh racing game in the Need for Speed video game series developed by EA Black Box and published by Electronic Arts in 2003. NFS Undeground is available for PSP, Xbox 360, PS 2 and PC.








Short describe of game:

A complete reimagining of the series' formula, NFSU offered a career mode featuring a storyline, and a garage mode that allowed players to fully customize their cars with a large variety of brand-name performance and visual upgrades. All races take place in a generic city at night, though the city bears some resemblance to New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles. The player has a friend in game- Samantha. She shows the player how the console with the races works, who's who, and makes fun of the player's starter car.



Control Scheme for PS 2:

If you play by PC you can use keypade but in my opinion the best for NFS is using steering wheel or gamepad.

Sounds:

As for the sound, the soundtrack is all right but nothing really special. You’ll find hard hitting tunes from bands like Unwritten Law and some hip-hop by artists like Capone. It’s not bad really, and I like play in NFS with music because game begin more interesting. The voice acting is the weak spot in the sound department because there’s no way on Earth street racers sound like Snoop Dogg has raised them.


Visual Effect:

The car upgrades are broken down into visual and performance upgrades. Performance upgrades come in multiple levels and must be unlocked before you can purchase them. These upgrades include turbocharge, better engines, weight reduction, enhanced braking and etc.
The visual upgrades also have a positive effect on your car. Purchasing spoilers, body kits, replacement hoods, neons, headlights, taillights, or window tinting for your car, or making other major changes to your car's appearance, increases your reputation rating. As your rating gets higher, the multiplier bonus you get on your style points increases, which lets you unlock other rewards more quickly.

Graphic:

In my opinion graphic is on the higher level because when you play the game you feel as you drive by car in real world.
Graphic requirement for PC:
DirectX 9.0 compatible 32 MB AGP graphics card with one of these chipsets Radeon 7500; GeForce 2; Matrox Parhelia; SIS Xabre; Intel 865

Additional information:

The console versions of Need for Speed Underground allow you to get into two-player races via a split-screen, which works reasonably well. However, the PC and PlayStation 2 versions of the game have online play, which includes head-to-head challenges as well as four-player races. Additionally, you can actually pit PC players against PS2 players, which is a neat inclusion. Online rankings are a factor of your reputation, which increases and decreases as you win and lose races.


Need For Speed Underground or Need For Speed 1?

In my opinion Need For Speed Underground is so much better than Need for Speed 1 because has a better graphic, sound, features and more races. Play with NFS Undergound is more interesing in my opinion and I very like this game.
