Need for Speed Underground 2

Post by Dups. »

I played the first one and enjoyed it very much. Seeing how I actually have a steering wheel and pedals it makes the experiences more fun imo.

Anyone, I was delighted when I found out about this feature!!

Free-Roaming City: Explore a massive city divided into five distinct, interconnected neighborhoods, ranging from serpentine suburban hills to an intense downtown grid. A complex series of drivable freeways connect the neighborhoods together.
I love that concept! I hope it's good.

Emergent Gameplay: Want to make a name for yourself in the underground? You’ll need to find it first. Races can happen anywhere and at any time and as players encounter rivals on the street they’ll be clued into where they can buy the hottest upgrades or enter the most elite events.
This might be interesting as well.


Fall 2004 - Coming soon for PlayStation®2, Xbox®, Nintendo GameCube™, Game Boy® Advance & PC.

*edit* I got this info from http://www.eagames.com/official/nfs/underground2/us/

If you like that concept, get Driv3r (Driver 3) that was just released. You can roam the city, get out of your car, commit a crime (shoot someone), hop back in your car and get into a high speed chase with the fuzz with the entire city to run around in with a great collision model for your cars as police blow out tires, etc). You can ram a cop or someone else and take their car to help in the getaway.

There's mini games for example, survival, which you start out with 4 cop cars chasing you trying to disable your vehicle and you need to last a certain amout of time.

Good stuff.

Yes, but less killing. Actually, I doubt you can actually kill anyone....

But, yes, the same concept of a city as GTA.

You kill people : ) When you're in roam free mode you can plow over pedestrians but they normally get back up...BUT if you step out of your vehicle and gun them down, they don't get back up and the police are on their way shortly.

I don't like the camera angles when I'm on foot and it isn't the strength of Driv3r but being able to get out, gun down a cop and take his vehicle is kinda nice.

In one high speed chase I totally knocked off my front right tire and was screeching all over the place...couldn't drive very fast like that!

I haven't actually played the "campaign" mode where you actually have assignments and a storyline. I also haven't tried out a boat.

You are talking only about Driv3r right? Because what you quoted from me was me speaking of NFSU2
