 Great Game for a Great System May 16, 2005
By SS
I will be scoring this in 5 different catagories.
Gameplay - This game has great controls. It runs at 60 frames per second which is even better than the console versions. This makes the graphics move smoothly. Even without a control stick the controls are great. 5 stars
Graphics - These graphics are the best out there for the ds. The environments look great along with the cars. 5 stars
Sound - This is the only place where the game flaws. While racing the only music is just a drum beat. The car noises are great though. 3 stars
Value - This game has great replay value. There are tons and tons of unlockables so you'll be playing this game for a long time. 5 stars
Tilt (How much fun is this Game) - This game is one of the best out there for the ds. I've played mario, warioware, yoshi touch and go, and the game is much better. My favorite portable game i've ever played. 5 stars
Overall Score - 4.6 stars rounds up to 5 stars

 Fun and challenging, with some flaws Jan 16, 2006
By Matthew Barich
Overall, Need for Speed: Underground 2 is a fun, challenging, and addictive racing game -- if you can tolerate it's flaws. Be warned that this Nintendo DS version of this game is a very stripped-down version -- which is understandable, considering that it's a handheld game. There are some things you should be aware of:
2) Although many have said that the game is free-roaming, be warned, that is NOT the case. Although the console and PC versions are free-roaming, with this DS version, on all of the game's six tracks you can only go on a certain path -- with a VERY few exceptions, you CAN'T turn onto alternate roads at intersections -- you are limited to a specific route.
2) Those who have said that this game is extremely difficult are correct. Although expert gamers will have a lot of fun with it, this is NOT a game for novice or intermediate gamers. The races are very difficult to win, and often you have to dodge traffic while racing. Although the challenge of dodging the traffic will be a lot of fun to hardcore gamers, casual gamers may find it to be too difficult.
3) Although the game supports multiplayer, it does NOT support single-card multiplayer -- each player has to have his/her copy of the game.
These flaws aside, this is a fun and challenging racing game. It's races sometimes keep you on the edge of your seat...

 need for speed underground 2 Jan 04, 2006
This game has only one flaw(and because of this flaw I havn't had time to discover any more).It's too hard.Once I hit something,such as a wall or a car, the other racers zoom right past me and I can't catch up.Also,there isn't enough time on the timed races(whatever those are called)and upgrading a car cost to many points,or maybe it just seems like that's because I can't even win the first race.By the way,while I was previewing my review,I noticed that I menioned* a second flaw.But now I just previewed it again,and I think that second flaw goes along with the first flaw,so now I say the game as only one flaw once more.
*how do you spell that?

The Best DS Game Available Now!! Jun 08, 2005
By Alex
"47"
I love the NFS series, and I wished I had a portable version that was pretty good.. well I got what i wanted and more- a game VERY good. The racing is realistic, there is a HUGE amount of customization, ( there are only 18 cars, but it doesnt stop the game from being amazing ) Here's a little breakdown:
GRAPHICS:
4/5 - For the DS in these early few months and in it's first year since release, this is the best it's gonna get until the creators put more time into the graphics. They are not as good as the PSP, but I don't think graphics matter THAT much - do they?
SOUND:
3/5 - The sound is one of the lower points of the game. The revving of the cars and the engine sounds are pretty good, but basically the sound is just dull. There is nothing going o in races except for the engines sounds, and the cheap music playing in the background. ( there is no liscensed music ). You might just want to listen to your own music and mute this.
CONTROL:
4/5 - For a handheld game without an analog stick, driving games may be a little tough for some; but not me. I played this game and thought it was a little strange at first, but after just about half a race I got into how you have to stear and let up the gas. It's overall pretty good for control.
USE OF THE TOUCH SCREEN:
2/5 - There is virtually no use of the touchscreen unless you want to use it to scan through the menu, which you are better off doing with the D-pad and the rest of the buttons. There are some mini games in here to try and make it be of more use, but they are extremely boring, repetetive, and have no sound or ANYTHING.
FUN FACTOR:
4/5 - Simple as this: If you like racing games, buy it. But even if you don't, you should at least rent it once or twice.
FLAWS:
The major flaw in this game is definitely the lame crashes, and followed closely by the difficulty. Though it's rather easy to get parts for your car, there is a time that will come when it is extremely hard to win. About those crashes: Horrible. All the none racing A.I. cars are ALL semi's ( that i've seen ) and when you hit them, you're bumper goes into it a bit, and you just bounce back and just stop. If you crash once, you are more than likely going to lose the race if you were in first and he was on your tail, or if you were already in last.
Aside from the problems, this is one of the better games on the DS. I may have just rented this one, but I'm most likely going to purchase it some time very soon.

One of the best DS games out! May 15, 2005
Besides Mario 64, this is the best DS game out.
Pros:
-AMAZING graphics!
-You can unlock MANY parts for your cars, and customize them
-The touch screen makes it easy to choose parts and make your car the way you want
-You can draw your own decals to put on your car with the touch screen
-There are mini games to play
Cons:
-If you want to do multiplayer, you need to have 2 game cards, one for you, and one for your friend/whoever.
-Some mini games are VERY hard
-Drawing decals isn't that easy. It's not like "Pictochat", they give you BIG pixils to color, so the decals come out really bad.
Overall, I give the game 8.8/10
I think you should get it, the replay value is excelent! One of the best DS games ever!
