Advantages: Improved controls, graphics and sound, and also cheap

Disadvantages: Arcade, can get repetitive

Need For Speed Underground 2 is a solid racing game for the Xbox console.

Getting a very high 9.1 rating from IGN was a pretty impressive result, especially for a sequel. The game has improved since the first Need For Speed Underground with much better graphics, improved car and crowd sounds, more customisation to the car, including more colours and different rims and most importantly... you can now free roam and drive to a race when you want to.

So you're not just racing all the time. You can also race a random street racer for money as well as bringing up the map and choosing the GPS to guide you to a race. You'll probably complete the game at about 60% or so, and then completing all the other races and the extra races will enable you to get the full 100% completion for the game.

Expect drift, sprint, circuit, beating the speed camera and more, when racing.

The game can be picked up pretty cheap now so it's worth a buy, especially if you liked the first one in the series.

It's definitely an arcade racer, so if you prefer simulators then this game won't appeal to you at all. Over the top speeds and blurred vision is still there with NOS still in use.

Summary: High rated racing game which is worth a buy
