Need for Windows

Arcade-style racing game

Need for Speed Underground 2 (the eighth installment in the Need for Speed racing series) is the sequel to Need for Speed: Underground. Electronic Arts developed the game for Windows 98 through Windows XP. It is an arcade-style racing game. This version features improved graphics and a new user interface. There are also additional gameplay modes that you won't find in NFSU. The game's free roam mode allows you to explore the city, and challenge other racers. You can expect a dynamic gaming experience because Racers are also Need for Speed players.

Underground 2 will offer similar models to the Need for Speed Underground players such as the Nissan 240sx and Nissan GTR R34. The options include the Acura RSX and Honda Civic, as well as the Hyundai Tiburon and Acura RSX. You can modify the entire body of your car, including the front and rear bumpers as well as the hood, side mirrors and roof scoop. You can also add aesthetic modifications like spoilers, exhaust tips and side skirts to your car.

Hydraulics is the most popular modification because it can be combined with nitrous at race start. This will allow the car to launch faster and do a wheelie. Any modifications to the trunk, roof, or hood will affect the car's downforce. To make your car drive faster, you can add spoilers to its trunk. This will allow you to avoid the car from veering off the lane. You can also improve the performance of your car by upgrading its interior.

The car's internal parts include the engine, engine control unit and transmission. You must join more races to upgrade on NSFU2. This will allow you to increase your rank and income. You have more options to upgrade your game and buy individual parts from the in-game shop. The dyno tuning system can be used to tune each part of your car. After you have set your settings, the Dyno Run will display torque and power in relation to revolutions per minute. It also estimates the 0-60 miles per hour speed.

Need for Speed: Underground 2 initially offered multiplayer access for all platforms, but it is now available for computers. NFS Underground 2 provides multiplayer LAN mode for PC users. This allows you to participate in online races using both the LAN mode and virtual LAN. Other system requirements are:

Need for Speed Underground 2 is a great sequel to NFS Underground. It allows you to experience tuner culture directly from your PC.
