Need for Speed Underground (PC)

-------------------------------------------------- Seeing as I have recently been made the new Games guide, I thought it would be a good idea if I wrote my first games review! I play a fair selection of PC games myself, and my mates seem to own every console in existence - so I decided to start with a cross-platform game that will be accessible to as many of you as possible. That game is Need for Speed: Underground. -------------------------------------------------- The Need for Speed Series ********************************** The Need for Speed series, ...  Read the complete review

Well, I don?t normally write software reviews, but I thought I would give it a go, see how it goes. Software in question is EA Games? Need For Speed: Underground.

In short, the purpose of the game is to drive around looking good and aiming to get a better car, there are 3 types of races that are all straight forward and easy to master. No worrying about traction control, center of gravity, wheel weight distribution or other ridiculous overcomplications that come with some racing games - this is straight up arcade racer with pretty girls stood at the edge of the finish line ready to cheer you on. Some people think that underground is too easy, the end result was that they made all ...  Read the complete review
