Another hot driving game that just came out is Need for Speed Underground 2. If you are a fan of the NFS series like us, then your sure to love this release. You can drag, drift, circuit race and more in this exciting sequel.

There are any ways ways to play in NFSU2 but you can start out in the free roaming mode and find many different types of races to get into. One of my favorites is the simple drag race where you basically focus on your start and shift timing, and oh watch out for traffic coming up in your path you need to dodge them and your opponents to avoid totaling your ride. You also have drifting circuit racing and more, you can do all these fro the career mode or quick race mode. Tip: try racing in the quick racing mode to polish up your skills first before going into career mode.

The graphics in this game are awe-inspiring, not to mention the great music tracks laid down by the likes of Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, Terror Squad, Mudvanye, and more. The only thing I don't like about the game but is not really a big deal is in career mode you get these test messages that you can ignore and just read later. Other than that the game is astonishing and has most of the hottest rides on the street to choose from.

Overall this game is for sure first-rate. I reccomend you get out to the stores or online to buy the game now, its hot.

Wow this game blew me away with the sharp and slick graphics, not to mention when you hit the nitrous you feel like your in one of the the Fast & the Furious movies, with your surroundings blurring by you. It is available for Playstation2, X-Box, Game Cube and for the PC.

You can choose from arcade, multiplayer and street mode, to start off street mode a friend loans you his Skyline GTR (yeah big mistake) and you race it for him, if you win the race (how can you fail in a Nissan Skyline) you get money to buy a starter car. Then you can trick out your car with performance and styling parts from major brand names. Tip: don't blow all your money on the mods, you need some to gamble with for street races.

The city maps in arcade mode are neat because you can choose between multiple routes to choose from. I found that braking and steering were very easy to get used to. You can also upgrades brakes as needed. Although I didn't use the online function it is available so you can race people around the world. The game has over 40 different officially licensed cars to choose from.

One downfall of the game is that Mitsubishi, Toyota, Volkswagen, Subaru, Lexus, Mazda and Nissan are the only brand of cars you can choose from. Another is although I like the graphics, the lights reflecting off the streets on night tracks in the game distracts you sometimes.

Over all, this game is worth buying if you love street racing games. Great graphics and vehicles as well as the upgrades and modifications you can make to your vehicle to make it one bad ass street machine.

Gran Turismo 4 will hitting the streets till Decmeber 14, 2005. With more cars and better graphics this game will be sure to be another best seller so pre-order it I did, because it will be hard for stores to keep on the shelves once it gets out.
