Need for Speed: Underground

The sequel to my Game of the Year for 2002 is looking promising:

Those are GameCube screens, BTW.

hah....didnt scroll that far down :D looks great so far but whats with the excessive shine nowadays?

I think they put too many coats of turtle wax on the cars.

Hmm, it looks good but alot like Midnight Club 2. Not that its a bad thing mind you.

That looks beautiful. I love night-time racing.

Ditto :p

Hot Pursuit 2 was awesome racer, and both I and DJ had great time with it. This one looks very nice, even with excessive shine. Lets hope it plays as well as its predecessors.

Looking good so far. I love the NFS series on PC..except for Hot Pursuit 2 which was a very poor port (not based on the superior PS2 version but on the GC version). I hope the PC port turns out well.

btw...Will mentioned Midnight Club 2.. how is it? some folks tell me its pretty fun and there's a pc version of it. Worth getting?

The only things that concern me about Underground are the licensed cars and the tweaking. If this starts down the Gran Turismo path, I'll pass and wait for Hot Pursuit 3.

If this plays like Hot Pursuit 2, I'm all over it. HP2 is the best game on the PS2 behind DDR Max if you ask me.

It does remind of alot of Midnight Club 2.

But, as already pointed out, that's definately not a bad thing.

I'm definetly excited for this one. Thanks to playing too much Initial D: Arcade Stage, I don't really have a good grip on American performance cars (I don't get as excited for them) so this is awesome. I hope all the racing isn't done in a city though. That would uhhh...be pretty boring considering that Midnight Club II is out.

You have my pity.

How was the NFS2 Xbox port? It's thirty bucks now and I'd like to get it. I can't find the official thread from way back, though. I've heard the PS2 version is the best, but the custom soundtrack option is way tempting for me.

The Xbox version is just as shitty as the GC and PC ones, because they were all made by the same team.

The ps2 versions remains supreme, and it IS one of the best ps2 games I've played yet.

cars shine when applied against any natural or artificial lighting sources...why can't games project what we see in reality? :)

Hot Pursuit 2 was my favourite racer. So, that in mind, if it plays like that then this title will be highly wanted on my list :)

Ooooohhhh...Thats mighty pretty.

Wow, those reflection effects in the first pic look amazing.

if it plays like the HPII for PS2 all over it in a heart beat...i agree with many of you who say HPII is the best PS2 game to date...
