Need for Speed: Underground ROM Description

Need for Speed: Underground is a racing game developed and published by EA, released on GameCube in November 2003. This is the 7th game in the Need for Speed ​​series, marking a new beginning for the series.

In Need for Speed: Underground, you play as an anonymous street racer. The plot revolves around you trying to climb to the top of the underground street racing scene. The game tries to build a storyline throughout but it’s not worth paying attention to. Characters in the game try to look cool but actually look the opposite. However, this does not affect the experience because everyone plays Need for Speed ​​because of the racing part, and this part is absolutely excellent.

When playing the game again after 15 years, the feeling is still the same. It’s unclear how the series has changed over the years, but Underground has the simplicity and arcade quality that players are still looking for in later versions. As mentioned, the game focuses on your journey to climb to the top of the racing village. There are also single racing modes or with friends, but the main part is the Underground career mode with 111 races divided into groups of 4-5.

There are various types of racing, such as circuit racing, elimination racing, straight track racing, drift challenges, etc. You will also participate in tournaments that require you to complete races well to advance. The good thing is that the game is easy to jump into and play right away. Driving feels very easy, although you still need to steer and use brakes in corners to avoid crashing into walls. The gameplay is balanced between simulation and crazy arcade. That means you can keep up with your competitors by driving poorly, overtaking them with careful driving, and outpace them with perfect driving.

The highlight of the game is the vehicle upgrade and customization options. There’s a wide selection of vehicles and you can unlock new parts to upgrade performance and add style. The game is clearly inspired by Fast and Furious, but car customization is still a lot of fun. You can feel the difference after upgrading and this motivates you to keep playing.

After 15 years, the game’s graphics are still very impressive. Streets at night look sharp, with reflective effects on cars and wet roads. The game has a design style completely inspired by Fast and Furious and looks great. Besides, the background is also true to 2003 street racing standards with vibrant rap and rock.

Need for Speed: Underground still feels as exciting and looks as good as we remember it. The game has fun racing mechanics, cool car customization, and exciting background music. It deserves a place in your Game ROM collection.
