UNCOVER THE UNDERGROUND

Discover the living, breathing world of tuner culture in Need for Speed
Underground 2, the sequel to the best-selling racing game of 2003, and the
latest blockbuster installment in the legendary Need for Speed franchise.

Taking place in a massive, free-roaming city featuring five distinct
interconnected neighborhoods, Need for Speed Underground 2 delivers an
immersive game world where the streets are your menus. As players explore
the city, they'll encounter rival racers who will school them in the ways of
the underground and tip them off to the hottest racing spots in town.

Deep new performance tuning allows gamers to fine-tune every aspect of their
ride's handling and performance, while hundreds of new visual customizations
guarantee players can create their own personalized, totally unique car.

All-new game modes join Circuit, Drift, and Drag events to add depth and
variety, pushing car and driver to the limit, while more than a dozen new
cars and hundreds of aftermarket parts from the biggest names in the
business make Need for Speed Underground 2 the deepest, most authentic tuner
experience ever.

interconnected neighborhoods, ranging from serpentine suburban hills to an
