    I dont think think there’s a single game menu that hits as hard as NFSU. Having the game boot up to “BADADUMDUMDUM” with the car rolling down the tunnel in the slightly tilted show off angle was so damn tough.

      The sense of speed, handling and graphics are much better in Underground. I think they had to dumb them down to get free roam to work on weak hardware.

    Not only that but the Soundtrack is Fire, "And the hero will Drown" By Story of the Year, "Kimosabe" By BT, "Two-Lane Blacktop" by Rob Zombie and "Broken Promises" by Element Eighty

      I might get crucified for saying this but I prefer the soundtrack from Underground 2 over the original. Queens of the Stone Age, Unwritten Law, I'm not even a fan of Rise Against but I like their song on that soundtrack too.

    Actually I don't think not having an open world is an issue.
    Always liked underground a lot more than underground 2, specifically because it doesn't have an open world.
    It is especially true nowadays where 99% of the open world games are just bland, empty, boring open worlds.

    This is my first game I've ever played back in 2004. My childhood was a ricer and those damn event 95 and 103 really gives me trouble back in the day unless just downgrade your car to stock.

    • @MediaPastimes
      @MediaPastimes  10 месяцев назад

      They would probably blow up during transport to the museum, the crash test rating on those MFs was like -4 stars.

    Pc box art was very cool. The images of cars going really fast with all that motion blur and the night city in the CD case wallpaper is so nostalgic to me. I also like how it's embroided on the front cover.

    The best nfs ever made till this day, the best car handling physics, straight to the point races, driving tracks are the best ones as well, 3 game-modes - drifting made in this game is better than anywhere else. Modern nfs can't even have drifting physics due to frostbite engine they've been built on, basically I just play them for 30 minutes and never come back again / refund, because you can't play this trash after trying u1,u2. A big step back and who would have throught that EA blackbox would make a game so great it will remain the best one after 20 years, new developers don't even understand how to make car handling good.

    i remember when this game came out in 2001 i can not even explain in words how awesome this game was i had need for speed underground 1 installed on my pc this game really hit me hard i remember first 30 minutes i played this game drag mode was just insane this game really gives me chills i cannot even explain how crazy was it to have my honda civic with blue underglow lights drag race this game really gives me a very creepy vibe because the night street racing looks so realistic and like just give me a lot of nostalgia does anybody think this game was way ahead of its time? like to be honest like having your car in endless tunnel gives me chills and this game really hit me hard spiritually. to be honest i think this game was too much

    • @evostas1017
      @evostas1017 Месяц назад

      and to be honest what makes this game so scary is how the racing happens at night like races look way to real and some of the cars have a mind of their own nfsu1 really one of those games that really give off a creepy vibe I think its also very crazy how the turns have a red neon that has 3 or 5 modes to show a driver where to turn is also really give a nostalgic vibe I think nfsu2 was very fun but how I would rate it nfsu1 was 100% perfect how the whole game was just designed really there is just no comparison to any other games I played I would say this game is definitely a 10\10 on a scale of gameplay really just the loading screen give crazy vibe because like I don't know many people never played nfsu1 and to me that's crazy also I think this game is very underrated almost nobody even talks about it anymore and rarely see anybody play this game I mean this was really one of those games that really hit you hard also the city would have like a very nostalgic vibe I don't know but my favorite was always the sprint races where the roads were just really cool I think this game really just very cool

    • @evostas1017
      @evostas1017 Месяц назад

      i remember just having this game when I was around five years old and just really brings back a lot of good memories I mean I completed this game over 5 times just really this just game is very big part of my life I don't know I think nfsu2 was very awesome to like even 2 was cool how you could change every part of your car and nfsu2 was really crazy because the modifications you can do to your car are crazy like nfsu2 has some really crazy back light give off a crazy vibe I remember the vynils they had in this game were ultra cool I mean I would rate nfsu1 100% crazy and nfsu2 90% crazy really just changing those back lights and front lights on your car made it very crazy looking and this game has a very scary vibe to it

      I was joking 😅 people used to get made fun of for slapping random decals all over their cars but not actually doing any performance upgrades, it was a riff on that.

    Man the memories from this game… my uncle owned a car dealership at the time that I’d go to every day after school and my cousins, dad, uncles, & me were always grinding this game and customizing cars.
    The soundtrack was so lit starting from the opening song that used to be an adrenaline rush.
    Underground 2 took all the great from the 1st game and added to it!

    I’m just waiting on the day where NFS goes full Fast and the Furious. They tried it with Payback but if they can manage how over the top F&F is, it could revive the series for sure. F&F movies are dumb but they’d make for great video games
