Now I am not trying to go against everyone here and just say this game is useless, because its not. But the truth is ever since the 3DO version of need for speed came out and was great, the need for speed titles have been up and down, some good and some a waste of time. Its come a long way since 1995. But hasn't exactly reached perfection or a high standard of a solid quality title as yet. The last underground was ok for an arcade racer, and this is quite similar. The graphics have improved and there is millions of customising possibilities for your cars looks and so on, but this does not make up for the gameplay which is at the best of times half decent. The handling is not solid or very reliable and your car feels like its lacking what the real tuned up version would be like. It really does'nt feel like you are driving a racing tuned car as it always just floats around on the road swaying and smashing into scenery and cars around all corners so easily. The other bad thing is the sense of speed which is a real let down. The fact that you have free roaming in a city is very good, but does the poor handling mean free roaming is any fun as much as the game. NO!. Its like a chore you don't like after half way through the game, ''theres a race on the other side of town, get down there or miss out'' is what you hear on your messages inside your ride, then you have to drive all the way to find a race with your GPS on to rinse everyone out. Sound fun? yes! is it fun? no!. This could have been a really good game if they spent more time on it, but it just lacks a lot of things. If you have recently played Burnout 3 I would expect you to be let down like me too. Or even since this is on the Xbox, Project gotham 2 is just superior in every way possible and you would be in complete depression if you went on to this as I thought it would compliment Project gotham 2 as i completed it and wanted another racer, now I have just gone back to PGR2. EA has fast become a money hungry company that robs 1000's and 1000's every year by just adding an extra couple of useless features that aren't as fun as they make out to be to a game that really is quite shallow already, and what do you know, we fall for it. From today I have had it with EA for maybe like ten years, until Need for speed underground 9 is out and has more of a chance in being a decent game for the money I spend on it. Its easy to see how people like this game, They are more than likely to be newer gamers or just casual gamers. But for people like me, it disturbs me this goes on. But anyways, if you have it and like it or tried it and want it, go for it its half decent. But if you are like me and want your moneys worth, I suggest getting the untouchable Project gotham 2 which is half price now, the excellent Burnout 3, the great Toca race driver 2 or wait for Forza racing out very soon like me :-) which is a bit like Gran turismo but exclusive for the Xbox which will hopefully be a classic too, With top graphics and car physics It lets you tune up your cars(over 200) properly, exterior decorating as much as possible, engine tweaking as much as possible and a REAL racing game altogether with a good career mode unlike Need for speed underground 2. But anyways, for now I hope I helped you to make good use of your money so you can make a wise decision, unlike I did. Laters!

Good Clean Fun

If you are a classic XBox owner, this game is a must have. From the drift races to the drag races to the sprints and circuits, this game (other than graphics) is much better than any Need For Speed game since. Pick it up here on Amazon, you can get it cheap. Hours and hours of fun!!

Bought this for my son, he loves it.

No complaints from either of us.

The Gamestop store in Boston was giving this away for free, and now I know why. This NFS game is a complete letdown. Why, you ask? Here's why:

1. Graphics are third-rate You can go crash into a wall, but your car doesnt show as much as a scratch. So much for believable racing.

2. Multi-player option is a big letdown. For namesake you can play multiplayer, but wait till you play to see how far the game goes. Crashes everytime I play it.

3. Tracks: the music tracks are horrible. Nothing novel.

If you really want a good experience, I would highly recommend Burnout Revenge. Way better than this nonsense.

Late.

this game kinda blows. There must be like six songs that play throughout the entire game and none of them are good. Gameplay is kinda weak, but I'm not really into that whole fast and furious crap. I didn't keep this one for long.

!A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

I still think that this game is better than Halo 2! Its the best! all the new cars, and all the new stuff is what makes this game the game of the year!

3.5 stars- but no replay value unless you go online

First of all the graphics and sound are awesome. When I first started playing this game I thought it was the most fun game I've ever played on xbox. This game starts off so good, but it gets boring toward the end. The difficulty settings are a joke. On EASY, its way too easy. You would almost have to lose on purpose sometimes. On MEDIUM, its a lot harder. I didn't even try it on HARD. So playing on easy you'll pretty much coast through the whole game. The game is still a blast to play but its so easy that there's almost no point. Another thing that bugged me was how my Celica was faster than my Supra, which makes no sense. And there's no S2000. How can a street racing game leave out the Honda S2000? There were other good cars but there's no point in trying them all because the only difference will be how they look. A lot of the cars sound the same and are equally fast. Bottom line is this game is great for a rental, but you shouldn't buy it unless you can go online. Playing against the computer is a joke.

suppppppppppppppppppppppppperrrrrrrrrrr pimpin
