need for speed underground

Alright, I know there is a gaming section, but this is to the folk that aren't into video games or don't know the new games. I stumbled upon a NFSU demo the other day and i got addicted to it. So naturally, i tried downloading it, but it kept messing up and the game is too new to have a lot of ppl with it to download. Anyways, i bought the game today and this is what I think:

this game is AWESOME. Been playing it for an hour or two. Well, as we all know and hate fast and furious b/c of the "fake cars/performance" the actual scenes were pretty cool. This game is much in a fast and furious style. There are street races and drag racing and you can customize your car to the rice level you like. There are lots of real brand names in the game: AEM, BBS, Honda, etc. etc.

I suggest anyone who could stand playing a video game w/o their head spinning, download the demo and check it out.

I tried to rent it on x-box and the disc was so scratched up it wouldn’t get past the title screen. I hate people who wont take care of other peoples crap.

I bought it for XBOX like a month ago, and I really like it.

I was afraid they put too much in the "custom" work of the car and not enough fun in racing

The game is really fuckin sick, I coped it for ps2, the first day it came out

i got the game, but its too easy, i had beaten it by the first week i think. I was hoping they had more cars in it, but they only have a few...

I'm caught between NFS:U or Project Gotham Racing 2 for xbox. PGR2 has slide or drifting points which I really like, but NFS has my 240sx in it!! STupid how PGR2 didn't include the 240 in it, when it's the ideal drifting car. Anyone who's play both, which is a better game?

Underground is fun, but its stupid at the same time, because you have to "unlock" parts, so you cant upgrade your car as soon as you can afford it, until you "unlock" that part. It gets aggraviting to keep getting stupid decals when all i want is a faster car.

does project gotham still use Kudos? that's the one thing i hated about that game. and the fact that you're always in the slower car trying to beat the faster one so you can add it to your garage. i really want Gran Turismo 4. not other racer can hold a candle to the GT series

:iagree: I have been trying to find a racing game that holds me over till I can play GT 4.

And for anyone who want some info here are a few of the gt4 cars

This game is WAAAAY too easy...the only cool thing is when you get to the higher levels you can go back to almost stock looks and still have the 5x Rep multiplier. Took 2 days to beat... Drift mode is a joke. I like the HUD for the drag races, very sleek. The actual circuit and time attack races are fun but it gets a bit frustrating near the end, having to retry just cause you clipped a curb or some stupid s**t like that.

I beat the game with a Miata (GT3 memories). What'd everybody else beat the game with?

yeah project gotham still uses kudos points, once u get the hang of it, it is real fun

its this an arcade style game or is it realistic(physics)

Blah, it screams rice
With nitrous and jumps and all the stuff
Rice factor = A++
Drifting in a FWD Kia with "NOS"? Nah
TXR:3 owns NFS:U
Why? 30 bucks cheaper, and just as fresh (well, on this side of the ocean)
The selection of cars is less rice oriented (removal of Hondas, no Kias)
The gameplay is different, NFS:U is street racing, Tokyo Xtreme Racer: 3 is about highway racing in Japan
the customization is much more complete (not all of the body kits are the same for all of the freakin cars)
And it carries on from the story in TXR:0, with about 600 rivals to race, all with unique cars. The game even gives you your own name, depending on your car, sticker, and driving style (yes stickers, I know, but its team stickers, not APC stickers) They sound pretty cool too :P
They even went to the extent to make 2 profiles about every racer (CPU) in the game, and theyr occupation, and career and everything :D
It is kinda of impossible to beat, but its still fun :D The only thing I dont like about TXR:3 is that they tried to cover up the fact that its a street racing game by replacing all of the traffic with a yellow van with their development teams name on it.
TXR:3 > NFS:U in almost every feauture except graphics. But thats all NFS really has going for it...
Lack of saving and replays in NFS:U makes me sad :(
If you like 2F2F and the latter, go play NFS:U
If you dont, play TXR:3,
If you dont have a PS2 or just dont like playing games, then...yeah

I played NFS:U in the 2-player mode...I hated it. I took all the wrong racing lines in a circuit race and I still beat my friend, just because I did'nt hit anything. The only thing that was fun was drifting an RX-7. The drag racing mode is the dumbest crapo I've seen, I have more fun drag racing mountain bikes.

All in all... I would'nt waste my money on it, I'd save up for Gran Turismo 4 next year.

Yeah, it was a bit ricey for me.. and i beat it in 4 days with my 7 :D

I beat NFS:U 2x. Once with a variety with cars, and second woth the Miata.

Since many of you guys beat it so easily...I'm starting to think it was made for kids instead. The game is easy for you guys, but it's probably hard for kids. I still liked the drifting tough.

its made for kids, its an arcade style game

Yeah, maybe geared for kids, but the fact that the later levels border on controller-throwing hard made me think otherwise. It wasn't that there were hard circuits, it was just very easy to lose (ex. you clip something and every single AI in the race already has 9 seconds on you)

Steel, what'd you start with? You get the 3rd Gen 7 after like challenge 60...

There was a KIA in there?! I didn't even notice, unless you are thinking of the Citroen...

TXR:3 is out? When? Where? How? I loved TXR:0.
