1 out of 5 stars LIES+LIES=BAD GAME   February 18, 2006
 4 out of 7 found this review helpful

When I first got this game it got good reviews, so I was excited. Then the disapointments came rolling in:
-Bad sound. Well I could I live with that.
-Bad controls. Can't live with that. I mean they're manageable, but overall bad.
-Now we get to the lies. It said there was 5 interconnected enviorments that you could roam around in traversing from one to the other. That was the main reason I bought the game, and the closest thing to it was free run. Max 4 laps, and you couldn't go from one enviorment to the other like it said you could.
-Bad crashes. Now after some major disapointments I could always look forward to bumping cars and causing traffic jams for a few brief minutes of fun. WRONG! All it does is bump, and nothing else.
-Graphics. Can't complain they were decent, but you have to have good gameplay to.
These are only a few of my complaints and is worth 5$ not 40$. I would avoid this game at all costs.



4 out of 5 stars Fun and challenging, with some flaws   January 16, 2006
 7 out of 7 found this review helpful

Overall, Need for Speed: Underground 2 is a fun, challenging, and addictive racing game -- if you can tolerate it's flaws. Be warned that this Nintendo DS version of this game is a very stripped-down version -- which is understandable, considering that it's a handheld game. There are some things you should be aware of:

2) Although many have said that the game is free-roaming, be warned, that is NOT the case. Although the console and PC versions are free-roaming, with this DS version, on all of the game's six tracks you can only go on a certain path -- with a VERY few exceptions, you CAN'T turn onto alternate roads at intersections -- you are limited to a specific route.

2) Those who have said that this game is extremely difficult are correct. Although expert gamers will have a lot of fun with it, this is NOT a game for novice or intermediate gamers. The races are very difficult to win, and often you have to dodge traffic while racing. Although the challenge of dodging the traffic will be a lot of fun to hardcore gamers, casual gamers may find it to be too difficult.

3) Although the game supports multiplayer, it does NOT support single-card multiplayer -- each player has to have his/her copy of the game.

These flaws aside, this is a fun and challenging racing game. It's races sometimes keep you on the edge of your seat...



2 out of 5 stars Horrible game...   January 8, 2006

All the stages look the same, I guess the people who made this didn't take their time on it. You will get bored easily looking at the same scenes. The makers could've been at least creative with it, at least add some jungle scenes, volcanoes, mud, anything to make it interesting! I got tired of seeing indistinguishable stages. Plus the sound sucks.


1 out of 5 stars need for speed underground 2   January 4, 2006

This game has only one flaw(and because of this flaw I havn't had time to discover any more).It's too hard.Once I hit something,such as a wall or a car, the other racers zoom right past me and I can't catch up.Also,there isn't enough time on the timed races(whatever those are called)and upgrading a car cost to many points,or maybe it just seems like that's because I can't even win the first race.By the way,while I was previewing my review,I noticed that I menioned* a second flaw.But now I just previewed it again,and I think that second flaw goes along with the first flaw,so now I say the game as only one flaw once more.

*how do you spell that?

I think Need for speed sucked! i thought this game was not cool at all becuse your car is hareder to control and if you have a break away from anyone else a car will apear right in front of you.
