One of the best... [Posted on 2006-02-14]
This game rocks. I was kind of skeptical at first about buying it but after playing it, I can't get enough!

Nothing like the first one! [Posted on 2006-02-26]
I thought it'd just be more of the first one, but it's very different. You have added race tracks, and small dirt tracks. You also have SUV races, but only visible when driving an SUV.
The physics are more realistic than the first one, but the overall graphics are a small notch down. It's well worth playing if you like racing games. I do wish there was a little bit more added realism.

Something's Missing [Posted on 2006-03-02]
I won't go into all the details of this game. Overall, it's a very fun game, with excellent graphics and nice handling.

However, there's one really major problem, in my opinion... no cops. The one aspect of gameplay that always set the NFS franchise apart from other racing games was the fact that you had cops chasing you. Now, they've finally decided to take NFS to the realm of ILLEGAL street racing through an actual free-roamable city... and they take out the cops. That makes no sense, whatsoever.

Yes, this game is cool, but it could've been extremely better, if they had kept the cops.

If you want online play, pass on this [Posted on 2006-04-26]
The single player racing for this game is good, with decent graphics and good sound effects. However, if you want to race online, forget it. Don't waste your money. I don't know exactly what the problem is, but it is practically impossible to find an another player to race with online. Judging by the number of "help me" message posts on EA's website, many others have the same problem. No one seems to have any answers.

I bought this game to race online, as they advertised, so it's a frustrating waste of $20.00.

not as advanced as I thought it would be... [Posted on 2007-01-04]
This was my 6th NFS game and I was a little dissapointed. The jump up in graphics from one game to the next was pretty big at first. NFS, NFSII, NFS Pursuit, NFS High Stakes all grew each time. But this game did not go up to a new level like I had hoped. The race idea is fun, having to drive around "looking" for races. I really enjoyed learning how to "drift" for points. The graphics were a bit of a letdown from Porsche Unleashed but an upgrade from the others before it. I did not find anyway to get any cops to chase me and that is one of the fun parts of the many games in the NFS series. I must admit that I only played the Underground 2 for a couple of months cuz Most Wanted came out and I went to that and stayed. I did not try to play on-line, so I cannot answer to that aspect. My suggestion: Buy it if it is cheap.
