      One of the best thing about these older NFS games are the soundtrack. You listen to them for hours while you're actually doing something fun like customizing your ride, visiting the car showroom, etc, which makes them even more memorable.
      The soundtrack in the newer (post-2010) aren't half bad, but you only hear them when you're racing which is arguably the most briefest (1-4 minutes tops) thing you'll ever do in the game. The menus have the same generic af BGM that loops over and over ffs.

    I actually liked that you couldn't upgrade everything in one shop and you had to find new to have new things. Why? Look at the map of NFSU2 and look at the map of any of the new NFS. NFSU2 map was full of races, hidden events and shops, that made it fun to explore the map almost like in Elder of Scrolls game. The maps of new NFS games are so streamlined to make everything as accessible , that there is no fun in exploring and just driving around free roam.

      burnout paradise, remastered? why you call it remastered, you sell EA marketing here?
      New release, check what you see! remastered is what what happens here, Underground by the community, doing new textures, better hardware support, this burnout a new title by the same studio and other studio to do the cheap development, outsourcing. Not updating the old release! Check what you see, run the old version next you it, you see its not remastered!

      I usually went with the Civic at the beginning, the Corolla has the best handling but it's the slowest stock car in the game and it remains slow until you unlock the level 3 upgrades. Later when I discovered that the 106 and the Corsa can be added in the US version of the game, I started choosing them at the beginning, they handle almost as good as the Corolla but are slightly faster.

      Agreed. As cool as the cops are, I get very bored of them very fast, but also the car detail hasn't been toped yet and only possibly matched by Pro Street and I LOVE to tune the cars, think about the parts and enjoy different cars due to different feel, sounds, etc. I also prefer the map of U2 to MW and the races too for the most part.

  • @Melbeanyo
    @Melbeanyo 5 лет назад +18

    I really liked how there was an arrow hanging above your head when you set a marker on the map. Rather than having to take your eye off of the main screen to look at a tiny mini map and end up missing a turn, or totaling your car and giving your opponent a major lead. I also miss how simple NFS Underground, up to Pro Street, was compared to NFS 2015. In my opinion simplicity is bliss when it comes to these type of games.

    I played Underground 2 for the first time a few years ago. I loved the physics and variety of events, however the games progression just felt too grindy. I was around 50-60% through the game, had 4 cars, yet only really had enough money to upgrading one of them (my starter car). Even just upgrading all the performance parts for my second car, completely ignoring the cosmetics, took a couple hours or re-doing races to get enough money.
    Compare this to Midnight Club 3 where halfway through the game I had around a dozen tricked out cars in my garage, rarely having to enter non-story events to get enough money.

    I actually loved the fact that this game had no fast travel and you had to drive to all the events and the different shops. Every part of the map had something to head towards and something to do in it, and it also meant you learned your way instinctively around the city which not only helped out in races, but was also handy for navigating the city without needing to rely on the GPS system.
    I also thought it was kinda cool having to pull into a dealership, or 'roll up' to an event. In later NFS games you'd just have to just get vaguely close to the start point to enter a race or shop, or just simply fast travel to it, but in Underground 2 you had to 'arrive' at a place. It just felt cooler.
    Hell, I still remember where a lot of the shops are and I haven't even played the game in years! It wasn't until GTA5 came along, that I knew my way around an in-game city so instinctively again. Much like how you don't even have to think about where you're going when walking around the town you live in, it just becomes second nature. I have the same the same thing when it comes to the city in Underground 2. I just know my way round that place.
    I really miss the car customization too. Subs in the boot, different colored Nitrous purge out the engine, hydraulics and neons underneath, suicide doors....I mean, a lot of it was kinda pointless and you'd rarely ever know you even had them equipped (subs, doors) outside of doing magazine covers etc, but it was still cool as shit! I wish they'd kept and expanded that stuff in later games.

    **inserts back when nfs was blah blah blah here**
    nah I'm kidding the game is indeed good and back when need for speed was all about racing. Currently playing this game in 2019
    The only thing that I would really complain about in this game is the star rating (the style meter if you will.) Because according to the game, putting decals/lights/neons, etc. as much as possible means better-looking for your car. Which is nonsense. Also it's not something that I can ignore if say I wanted my car to be simply plain red because in order to go through to another stage, you have to have a car that fits the requirement of star rating of the current stage.
    Another lil complaint that I have that may only be applicable to me is I wish races would give you money even if you repeat it, because I do want to try out different cars and customizations and such without having to worry running out of money.

    4:41 That´s true, if you lose too many outrun races, the other cars de-spawn and you will never see them again until you get to the next "Stage" in the story (Which basically means that if you are at the final stage and this happens, you are fucked)
    Also, win a couple of them in a row and you will get a unique custom part for your cars! In the first Stages you can only do this once, but in the last 3 (I think) you can get 2.

    The reason for the Outrun mode existence is, that you can get unique visual and performance upgrades, something you had "scheduled" in playthrough of Underground1. This way you can also get to widebody kits in career mode :) and it disappears as soon as in the current tier all unique parts are granted (Tier 1 is just the city center at the beginning, Tier 5 is the whole map unlocked - there you can win widebody kit after 10+ outrun wins - I do not remember the exact number of wins needed).

    I forgot to mention tuning in my prior comments. Generally, by lowering torque in the lower rpm range, the torque and therefore power is increased in the upper rpm range. This isn't needed for career mode, but was needed to be competitive for online racing mode. A glitch would allow almost unlimited tuning for the super or turbo charger, but a save editor needed to be used for maximum ECU tuning (and it was simpler to hex edit than use the glitch for super or turbo charger tuning). Generally you tune for max power unless power band gets too small, with the exception of drift mode, where power is sacrificed to get more mid range torque.

      FJM8940 pro street is broken. Doubt it's doable. I own it for steam and there is a issue with the continue. It's a bug that was never fixed when they shutdown the servers. Every time I try and play I can sometimes get 3 races in before it freezes right after a race and I can't continue. There are little ways around it but nothing permanent, at least that I know of. Cause I'd like to play that game again and without issues.

    Underground series is one of the most unique experiences in racing game history. Both games, although heavy influence to the "ricer" scene, were thoroughly enjoyable. Both games featured a well structured and intuitive user interfaces. Both were well paced in controls and reflex requirements. Both had excellent art styles combined with music. But, where the first one was a fast and spartan approach to tuner scene and gameplay, the second one...was more. More refined, relaxed, in-depth. It was built to be enjoyed in all levels: be on the streets winning, at the shop ricing or in the dyno tuning. The whole aesthetic of UG2 was to feel like a "bolt-on wonderboy". And feeling good being one. Its the same kind of dive you take when you read a book or a graphic novel. Everyone can pick up the same book...but each individual made the unique choices for themselves. And the game provided the tools to do so. It did not put you on rails, but instead said: hey, here is a city full of action and nearly limitless potential. Have fun!

    What I loved about this game the most was how it encouraged you to free roam. Yeah, it kinda did suck to have to go from one shop to the next, but on the way there you'll more than likely run into 3 or 4 races which made it that much more entertaining.
    So, yeah. I could point out all the shortcomings of this game, but every time I play a later NFS I yearn for the full out customization control we had in this one... The whole cookie-cutter approach in the games now is so boring.
