| NFS U: First Review |
Saturday, 15.11.2003 |
The onlinemagazine IGN tested the final Playstation 2 version of Need for Speed Underground, and wrote the very first review.
On the whole NFS Underground is described as a good racing game, which also shows the closing comment:
Need for Speed Undergound grabs you with its sky-high production, and hooks you into its impressively designed single-player mode. The beautiful visuals only heighten your desire to race. But the real kicker here, and the focus of the whole experience, is customizing your ride. If you're not into that element, don't go out and try to buy this as a stand-alone racer. You really have to be dedicated to the car creation, and you have to have the patience for it.
All I see for a title like Need for Speed Underground is room to grow. If this is the ground level, this is a fantastic start. EA could easily craft it into its "Big" series of games if it wanted to, and this would make more sense for the exclusion of a police chase mode -- that's probably the thing we missed most about Underground, as it's a definite side-project for the franchise.
I highly recommend this to racing fans that are into the customization element. Just be warned of the tracks monotony -- the diversity comes in the mind-bending amount of aesthetically different vehicles you can create. Multiplayer, especially Drag mode, is also really entertaining. And if you can get online with the PS2 or PC, you've got a lot of playtime ahead of you.

 The onlinemagazine IGN.com interviewed the babes, who stand at the starting line of each race in Need for Speed Underground. Not the virtual girls, but their models, Amy Walz and Cindy Johnson.

| NFS U: Interview with Justin Wiebe |
Wednesday, 12.11.2003 |
At the official Need for Speed Underground website there is an interview with Justin Wiebe, the Producer of NFS Underground. He talks about onlinegamig, the requirements and the connection. So he suggests to ahve a broadband connection to play NFS U, because each game is hosted on the player's PC, the EA servers are just for collecting the stats. What is also quite interesting is the following:
Excerpt:
What kind of "hacking" protocols are in place to protect my statistical information?
We are always working to remove any cheats hacks from the game. We have over fifty hack detection programs running before/during and after each race. There are unfortunately always going to be some people that will find something we didn't anticipate, which is why we created a program that we can easily alter on the fly post launch to take care of any issues that arise.
