Wow...there is so much to say about this game that it's hard to know where to begin. Well first of all, The new number of body kits, car specialties, and graphics are enough to make anyone faint. There's tons of em'! From Headlight and N20 Purge colors, to Trunk Audio Layouts and Scissor Doors, this game is sure to keep you glued to the screen. The introduction of SUV's like the Hummer H2, Cadillac Escalade, and Lincoln Navigator allows for people to create their wildest pimped out gas guzzlers. Also, the introduction of a few modern-day muscle cars like the Pontiac GTO and the Ford Mustang GT bring a sense of familiarity from previous games such as Hot Pursuit 2. Also those V8 engines sound menacing! The new audio layout section of Underground 2 allows for those who want a massive sound system in there car to do so. Hydraulics are also new and range from small movements of the car to huge bouncing jumps. The graphics of this game look like something out of Gran Tursimo and put the old Underground to shame. Free Roam is a new edition and allows racers to show off there cars on the streets, search for hidden body shops, and locate and participate in races around "Bayview". Outrun mode is like something out of Midnight Club 2, pull up behind an opponent on the map (specified as an orange triangle on the radar) and initiate a race. The first one to get a certain distance ahead of the other wins. I rented this game once and bought it the next day. No racing game collection is complete with this new Underground racing game from EA Games!
