Summary




Need for Speed: Underground (NFSU) is the tenth racing game in the Need for Speed video game series developed by EA Black Box and published by Electronic Arts in 2003.Need for Speed: Underground reboots completely the franchise, ignoring the previous games and is the first game in the series to offer a career mode featuring a storyline, and a garage mode that allowed players to fully customize their cars with a large variety of brand-name performance and visual upgrades. All races take place in a generic city at night, though the city bears some resemblance to New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Rather than exotic cars, Underground featured vehicles associated with the Import Scene. Underground was commercially successful, and inspired a sequel.


t is rumoured that the car manufacturers were very strict in how their vehicles were to be portrayed in this game, especially considering the "illegal street racing" reputation of the tuner culture. EA took some effort in making the races appear as sanctioned racing events, and included a public service announcement in the game's introduction. In addition, vehicles do not have damage models.


In the Car Customization menu, cars such as the pictured Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R can be altered with performance upgrades and visual upgrades, such as paint colors and body kits.Player�s have the ability to increase their car�s performance by applying performance upgrades to the car. The player can upgrade their car�s engine, drivetrain, suspension, tires, engine control unit (ECG) as well as add nitrous oxide, turbo chargers and reduce the car�s weight (in the form of �weight reduction packages�).Because NFS: Underground is street-racing and car tuner theme, the player also has the ability to visually customize their car as well.
