Retro Runback: 'Need for Speed Underground 2'

VICE:

Doing these Retro Runback pieces on GameCube games always makes me feel old. I mean, at this point, it’s been over 20 years since its release. So, it counts as retro — it just hurts to acknowledge it. This time around, it’s one of my favourite racing games of all time: Need for Speed Underground 2.

There may be racing games that have surpassed this one over the years, but I never had more fun with a racing game than I did with Underground 2.

underground 1 and 2 were the best racer games bk then

The hours I've spent on TXR Zero back in the day. Literally played that game for about 3-4 YEARS.

Nfs has been giving us the same mechanics over and over again. They have recently been leaning more into street racing because of popular demand from the fans, but they aren't quite there yet.

I would suggest they simply remake the NFS underground series, and in 2005, most wanted and go from there after getting the baseline of what the fans want.

cammers1995155d ago

Well, they should remake underground and underground 2.

Retroman154d ago

They should remake Hotpursuit 2, Highstakes, Underground also

Tra-D214155d ago

I wish Rockstar would remaster Midnight Club Dub edition and Midnight Club LA

Peaked with Most Wanted on the 360, been mediocre since.

underground 1 and 2 are still the best ones.

isarai171d ago

And they're spent every game after that trying to chase that high and never meeting it

Ninver170d ago

Makes you think if gamers are looking to relive nostalgia or each dev that has attempted to mimic the glory days are just incompetent?

DarXyde170d ago

Truth. Loved Midnight Club.

I wouldn't be mad at another proper Underground or Most Wanted (PS2/X360) entry though.
