Need for speed: Underground 2 or Most Wanted
1 of 1 found this helpful Ok, so hears the deal: Underground 2 is all about driving to the location of secret or know races, while narrowly avoiding traffic along the way to get your NOS up. Pimpin your ride out with hydraulics and an awesome stereo is a great way to kill time. Then you can kick it in to overdrive with one of the most extensive garage performance tuning system. If you absolutely can't get enough of this game, you may not like Most Wanted as much. Comparing Underground 2 and Most Wanted at the same time would be almost like comparing comparing Cruisin USA with PGR; They are both just racing games with completely different premises. Here's the schpeel on Most Wanted. In this game, they replaced a few of old race types (drift, street X, URL) with new ones (speed trap and tollbooth) which are actually quite fun. Your NOS refills slowly just with driving over about 80 MPH. When new performance upgrades are available, you put them on your car and that's it, no tuning it up. The performance tuning is extremely simple: instead of 50 different little bars to slide left and right, there are only 7. Don't get me wrong, you still have to tune your car so you don't lose, you just spend more time driving and less time in a garage. Here, in my opinion, is the major deciding factor in whether you like Underground 2 or Most Wanted: the police. In Most Wanted, the police have a very extensive system to catch you or to give a hint on where not to go. You actually listen to the police chatter and because of that, know where to run to, to either run away from or attract the attention of the police. Now it's your choice to decide whether you like running away from the police, or whether you like spending 3 hours getting your turbo fixed just right and making your car look as cool as you please.
