I don't know how many of you play video games but I play a good bit. I got NFS: Underground for X-Box. I can't wait til Underground 2 comes out. There are supposedly going to be over a dozen new cars in this game. Here are the ones I know that will be in Underground 2 for sure:
Mazda RX-8
Infiniti G35 Coupe
Mitsubishi 3000GT
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
Subaru Imprezza WRX STI
Lexus IS300
I doubt they'll be an Altima because they already have the 240SX, Sentra SE-R, 350Z, and the Skyline R34. It's not the most realistic game, but I like the fact that you get to drive regular cars that you see on the road everyday.
fun factor is great...other than that, the game is ****in horrible...i wanted my money back after a day of playing it...i hate that game sooo much...it just sits there...nothing realistic about it in terms of specs of cars...shitty game...

What did you hate about the game so much anyway?! I got busy earlier so I'll finish this post. I guess I'm sort of reviewing it but whatever.
Upsides to the game:
-The factory gear ratios on all the cars are correct, as is the overall performance of any unmodified car.
-There are so many visual upgrades in the game I doubt anybody couldn't make a car that looks good to them.
-There are no Ferraris, Porche, etc., instead you can get car you might acually see on the road like the Civic Si, Focus ZX3, Tiburon GTV6, 240SX, 350Z, S2000, Neon, Miata, etc.
-I'm not sure what everyone else thinks but I think the game looks and sounds fantastic.
-There is a drift mode where whoever car slide the most wins. It's fun as hell to me.
-The cars look like the real thing. The cars surface reflects everything around it.
-FWD, AWD, and RWD and very apparent in whichever car you pick.
Downsides to the game:
-When you start fixing up the cars with turbos and such the makers of the game just made an educated guess as to how it would actually affect the performance.
-The tracks are very resrictive. Even though you're in the same city you can't explore freely. Even in free run mode you have to follow the same path.
-The AI cars cheat. Not in the early part of the game but later in the game (much later) they will be able to go about 220 mph around certain curves, and it always seems to be in the very long races, so if you screw up and let one of them by you then you might as well go ahead and restart.
-You have to finish first place in every single race to progress in the game.
-The good cars aren't unlocked until waaaay late in the game. Way too late. By the time you get around to unlocking the Skyline your Golf is gonna have a stage 3 tubro, nos, and everything else.
I will say the only Grand Turismo game I've ever played was for the Playstation and it was ugly! I never really played into it either, just a little at my friend's house. Maybe the newest one you'll be able to change what your car looks like, not just how it drives. I consider the GT series to be for the people who go for the hardcore realism. But if you like to pull the e-brake and put it to the floor so you can hear the tires screaming as you burn out then you should go buy this game.

i rented underground, and i hated it. i found it just too ricey and unrealistic. if you want a good blend of gt's realizm and undergrounds fun and look modification, tokyo racer 3 will own you. i adore that game. 2 was just as good, slightly worse graphics
Someone from .net added me to his friend list in Project Gotham racing 2. Who was it ??? (not complainig, just curious, I wanna make you eat dust )
