General Comments
I bought this game about a year ago, and I still play on it every now and again.



It's great fun! You can drive many cars from the worlds most popular car manufacturers; for example VW, Toyota, Nissan, Honda and Acura etc. There are about 20 in total, so you're spoilt for choice.



There's a good selection of tracks to race on; all varying, with different speeds and layouts.



Great selection of soundtrack; music from all genres - rock, rap and hip hop. The music comes from a good few popular artists like T.I Lil Jon and The Eastside Boys.



There are different types of races - circuit, sprint and drag, all of which are great fun!



You can modify the performance parts of your car, and also the looks of your car; like alloys, paint styles and vinyls. There are so many combinations, you'll never make a car look the same!



I do find Need For Speed Underground a bit monotonous after a while - just racing, racing and racing. You can't roam around the city like on the later game, Need For Speed Underground 2.



When racing, I find the handling characteristics unrealistic; being able to turn a corner doing 130mph plus and not rolling or fish tailing your car is a bit unrealistic, but then again it's a game.



I hope my review was of some use!
