Awsome game.....
Very, very fun game. Where to start. Well the graphics are crazy, its hard to look at it and think "wow, this is a hand help game!". The soundtrack is very good, alot of rap, rock, techno, most of this songs where used in need for speed underground 2. Also if you know how to, you can customize your soundtrack to listen to whatever you want, how cool is that? The loading times are very good, they only take like 4-9 seconds,sometimes faster, now compare that to midnight club 3 witch take almost 60 seconds! Dont belive me, play the two and compare. They also put in a new racing mode, nitro run, very fun its a regular circut race, except you have to clear a certain amount of checkpoints using as much NOS as you can. There are alot of cars to choose from, from import to domesitc. And wireless gameplay with other people is just plain cool. A couple of things I did not like about this game was the upgrade appearance parts. There are not many, some cars only have 4 hoods and 5 body kits to choose from. Compared to the council version this is bad. So yes there is a poor amount of appearance parts for the cars. Also the drifting game mode (one of my favs on the council version) there is only one driving course, and it really, really easy. It almost gets boring. So they took my favorite part of need for speed underground and made it boring.
Overall this game is very good, I dont regret spending my money on it, it is preety addicting. All bad points aside if you are a fan of the need for speed underground series buy this. If you are skeptic rent it and check it out.
More Fun Than i Thought It Would Be
OK, so it is more fun than I thought it would be. The raceing is different than burnout in more ways than just slower. It is definately slower. However, these races have tons of turns, drifting and jumps. For me this is an advantage over Burnout. Burnout is more fun, but i do appreciate the variety in racing tracks by having lots of jumps. Probably the perfect game would be a Burnout game with jumps. Anyway. Bottom Line: Get this game if you are now in the market for a bargain bin psp game that is still a pretty good racer. I Like this way better than Ridge Racer.
Good game but only if you already own Burnout Legends
This game was quite fun, and like many other PSP games is much like a stripped down version of its home processors. In case you are unfamiliar to the series, Need For Speed Underground is a very successful series famous for its complete customization of your vehicles. Even more fun, you can race your pimped out car online for PSP where you will be facing other people who are also showing off their rides. In career mode, the main focous of the game, you start with a car which you can upgrade in two ways. The first is visual upgrades, in which you earn by winning races. The second is performance upgrades, in which you earn performance points through races to upgrade various parts of your car, and if you own multiple cars the upgrades apply to all. You can also unlock new cars as the game goes on. The game features three types of similar races. The first type just a regular circuit race where you are in a 3-4 lap race. The second is lap knockout where the person in last after each lap is eliminated. The third type is rally relay race where you race 2-3 laps, changing cars after each lap. I'd say that NFSUR is a great racing game, but just doesn't live up to Burnout in terms of game modes or graphical power.
