that your idea of a review of a game?!?? sigh...

No NFS underground is FAR from a good game.. It's an "ok" racer but that is about and even then it's more of a fluffy racer then anything else... at best, maybe a 6 out of 10.. maybe 7 if you love those sort of cars...

it has crappy mutiplayer (as in no lan support).. the so called up grades are BS.. WEEEEEEEEE unlock some BS sticker for my car.. sigh.. I wish that was a joke, it's not, most of the upgrades you unlock are BS 2f2f stuff that have NOTHING to do with making the car run better..

THEN the upgrades you do get take the form of $$$ BUT you can't really custom build your car. You get to upgrade in stages and even then when you pick the "package" it make NO dif.. All parts the same.

Also you HAVE to do all around the same time, so one can't say pour all the $$$ into turbos and spend nothing on brakes. No no no you more or less "level up" the game

THEN worst of all it FORCES you to put that BS 2f2 shit all over the car to get your "rep" up so that you can race.. Oh so now I HAVE to buy neon and so so I can race?!?! WTF?!? LAME.. Being if your rep is not high enough you can't get past a set level in the game..

last and least all the tracks are sort of same. I mean they have diferent turns and so on but it's really like racing the same city over and over.. Vs say past NFS games were each area seemed like a new city and so on..

oh and I almost forgot, the BIGGEST pile of crap about the game is the weak AI.. so bad enough I can't race others, then they throw in some rubberband catch up shit to make all the races "close". If you can't get too far ahead, the cpu goes faster and catchs ya. So 4 perfect laps, one crash you get caught. Oh but if you crash you don't have to worry. You ALWAYS catch up.. Heck you can pace in 4th gear AND catch up quicker being the slower you go, the slower they go.. Slower = less crashes = faster catch up BUT THAT IS NOT RACING...

Ya know maybe even my 6-7 range is too high.. Make it 5-6 and on some level I should remove one more point being the game makes me drive POS car brands rather then real fast, real $$$$$ sports cars.

I don't think it's all that great of a game. It's a lot of fun for the first hour, when you first play around with ricing out your car. Racing is decent, but not nearly as good as Hot Pursuit 2 for some reason. It feels a little cartoonish to me. The lack of LAN play sucks, as does the soundtrack. Not worth the money at all IMO.

WOW, it is really that bad? I was looking forward to it for a long time. Guess I'll have to pass on this one. I am disappointed already.

yes it is... EA should hang it's head in shame for putting the NFS title on this game.. Again, the racing part of it IS fun for a few days but then there is just nothing to it.. Do like the drag racing part, even if it too is sort of BS..

Eh talk to me at the next LAN Blu.. I'll let ya check the game out.. Not going to uninstall it or anything.

I am really disappointed with this game. It doesn't deserve to be called NFS in my opinion. There aren't even cops chasing you around! The game I wanted to see would have been a combination of Porche and Hot Pursuit 2, but it looks like we will have horspower-increasing stickers and chrome rims instead.
