"A Masterpiece in Racing Simulation!"

Pros: Need for speed underground is the pinnacle of all racing games on the p.c

The graphics are excellent and don’t require you to have a top end card, I first ran this with a radeon 9250, which it ran ok on, now i have a geforce 6600gt and it rocks.

The carrer mode is brilliant, I like the way you can drive around the city and slip into mini games, and by tweaking the graphics options you can get this looking pretty good.

I’ve also played this on the ps2, but compared to the pc version its a non-starter, the ps2 version looks slow and distorted, while the p.c version is clear and runs smooth.

You will normally find that with most p.c games, they are far better than any console equivalent.

Electronic arts should be proud of themselves for a masterpeice in computer games, this will enter the hall of fame of computer games, up there with fear, doom3, quake and far cry.

Well done E.A

Cons: The higher video settings look shabby if your card doesent support it, to use higher video settings you need a geforce 6600/6800 or higher or a radeon x800 or higher.
