Message: [QUOTE="NoGoodNames, post: 11972977, member: 280546"] I remember when I was like 5, playing this game before my bedtime. Other than that, I have not had that much experience on the game. But, I do know enough to where I can give my thoughts on it. First off, I have to give Black Box praise for switching to the open world. The events in UG1 DID get pretty repetitive IMO, but in UG2, there never seemed to be an event that was a repeat of a previous one. And it all fit together so well: new race types like Street X and URL races, plus 200+ km of road in Bayview, which was one of the biggest maps seen in any open world game at the time, aside from GTA. And this was only an experiment by Black Box... I'd say it was a pretty good experiment. This brings me to my next rave, the new race types. As I mentioned before, Street X and URL races were new in UG2. They both added an interesting touch on a game that's supposed to be about racing through the tight city streets. Another mode I like is Downhill Drift (I believe that's what it is?). It got you out of the tight drift tracks like in UG1, and had you battling through the twisty canyons of Jackson Heights. When looking at all the race modes, it seems this game has something for everybody. And of course, the customization. It can't be an Underground game without the big spoilers and body kits, as well as big tear vinyls, window tints, and underglow. UG2 definitely had the best customization in the entire NFS series- new options like hydraulics, trunk speakers, spinners, split hoods and suicide or Lambo doors... I could go on for hours. And on top of that, all the options from UG1 had more parts, some of which were absolutely crazy... One of the biggest open worlds in 2004, a race type for everybody, and the best customization ever in NFS history leads me to give this game an A. [/QUOTE]
