Need For Speed: Underground



Need for Speed Underground allows gamers to build a completely unique exotic ride by earning cash to pay for custom body kits and a host of car mods by winning events. But just creating the ultimate custom street racing machine will not get a racer to the top; it takes a certain amount of attitude and razor sharp driving skills to compete in the tough world of urban racing.

First of all, they want you to know that all cars are fully tunable to an extent that you would hardly even notice that you are only driving a simple Ford (no offence, but Ford ain't too popular at this moment).

Second of all: the soundtrack is gonna be good.
