Racing
The early 2000s street racing fantasy is fully realized in Underground 2, where players cruise a sprawling open world, customizing their rides with neon lights and body kits. Nighttime cityscapes pulse with energy, offering a variety of races from circuit runs to drift competitions. The soundtrack, a blend of hip-hop and electronic music, perfectly complements the feeling of illegal speed and personal expression.

About Need for Speed: Underground 2

Details
Need For Speed Underground 2 takes place in Bayview after the events of Need for Speed: Underground. The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan 350Z in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.
