Overview

Need for Speed Underground 2 is an arcade racing video game, developed by EA Black Box for Windows PC and several other platforms in 2004.
As a direct sequel to the 2003’s NFS: Underground, this game successfully managed to improve many of the aspects of its predecessor and offers fans of this popular franchise access to streamlined gameplay features, new modes of play, improved pacing of the main campaign, more activities in the open-world environment, broader car customization support, and improved audio/visual presentation.

The story of this game is a direct continuation of the events that happened in the original NFS Underground for PC, with the main player moving from fictional Olympic City to Bayview, where he gets involved in another struggle between various criminal organizations, police forces and underground racing culture where only the best drivers can rise to the status of the best underground racer in Bayview.

The gameplay modes allow much more freedom than in previous NFS games, and include not only the modes present in the first Underground game (such as Sprint, Circuit, Drift and Drag races), but also a wide array of new modes such as Street X, Special Events, Outruns, and Underground Racing League set of tournaments. Following the tradition of the first game, players of Need for Speed Underground 2 can also extensively customize their cars, including both internal parts and all external panels and visual add-ons such as vinyl, decals, custom gear (nitrous, under neon glow, etc.). Upgrade of car’s performance can be done either via the manual purchase of parts or by getting upgrade packages. The game supports individual tuning of several distinct areas of the car, such as turbo, suspension, gear ratios, brake bias, aerodynamics, and more.
 
In addition to the long and diverse singleplayer campaign, Need for Speed Underground 2 also featured extensive support for online events, but sadly official servers were shut down years ago. PC players however still have the option to play together with friends using the LAN mode.

After selling more than 11 million copies and breaking franchise records both on PC and home consoles, Need for Speed Underground 2 still manages to impress to this day with its addictive gameplay, visual appeal and the incredibly strong presence of “early” NFS games that are still held in high regard.
