Need for Speed: Underground injects high-octane energy into the world of street racing. With its neon-lit cityscape, deep car customization, and varied race modes, it delivers a thrilling dose of arcade racing action. While the story is a bit cheesy and the handling can feel overly loose at times, Underground's style, exciting race progression, and soundtrack brimming with early 2000s nostalgia make it an enjoyable, adrenaline-fueled ride.
