This game is totally recommended to any gamer racer or not. It has a lot of vehicles and you can totally pimp your ride! Anything to hydraulics to bumpers or Spinners to nitrous! Its amazing. The only problem is that the car cannot get damaged. This game also has a burnout 3 demo! this game is the best! It also has a free roam mode where you could drive around the city sort of like to GTA or midnight club 2. The graphics are so real and the spinners spin like never before! You can get any car from a Mustang to a Skyline or a GTO to a Rx8. You could totally change the look of the car. You wouldn't believe the car customization possibilities! I recommend you at least try it.

Pimp YOUR ride
saxon-726 December 2006
Starting up from where Underground left, you arrive in Bayview and must once again start from scratch by pimping and enhancing your ride and rise through the ranks.
This game is not very different from NfS:Underground (nor should it be) except that it's a new town and you have more cars and visuals to choose from (to be expected) and a few new types of races (street X and a new Drift variant). The graphics and sounds has of cause improved but in the game play and last ability categories it hasn't change much.
In fact there isn't much different between Underground and Underground 2, Underground 2 misses the exactly same things as Underground, mainly that you can't damage the car in anyway, but this is a general thing for NfS games up to this point (bar Porsche).
The difficulty levels also lacks some sense, easy and medium is almost too easy and hard is indeed HARD, I found myself unable to beat the opponents in one of the URL races even with a maxed out car at that given point in the game (granted it's wasn't the fastest car money can buy in the game nor had i fiddled with with it, but still I should be able to at least hang on to them). While you can pimp the car with many visuals, I find the selection of Roof Scoops and Side Mirrors lacking (maybe it's just me but I don't like the overall look of the cars with practically all of the options).
This is a good game but lacks that little thing that makes it great, a 7 out of 10.

Need for Speed Underground 2 is the best racing game of all time, with no doubts about it. The graphics are AMAZING!They're perfect, it really looks like real life. The sound is great.Many songs, including one of Snoop Dogg, and others, being only Heavy Metal and Rap(Excluding one Techno music). The controls are a little difficult at the beginning of the game, but after a time you'll see that are simple controls. And the Fun Factor is great, too.You will play hours and hours without knowing. The score of this game is really 10!
The Best: Almost everything in the game.
The Worst: Controls a little difficult.
Deception: Nitro is not so amazing as the other game...

Need for gameplay enhancement 2

Whilst undoubtedly fun to play for a short time, this game rapidly becomes dull in the extreme. There are only a few different types of events to enter and the obligatory "car upgrade" ideas are also kind of dull. In short, a console game that wasn't improved when it was ported to the PC, with limited gameplay options.
I suppose if you are a car freak then its much more entertaining but I'm not, so this also became more than a little dull.
Good things: A real sense of speed and action. The cars appear to handle quite realistically. Its fun with a steering wheel and foot-pedals.
Bad things: The cars are indestructible. Some of the simplest tactics involve running competitors off the road and torpedoing around corners without slowing down because you "bounce" off the scenery. The way you can replay races endlessly until you win them is also lame.
Summary: Fun for a little while, but lack of gameplay depth quickly bores you to tears and there aren't even any pedestrians or small, furry pets to squash to keep you amused.
