Chi Kong Lui reviews Need for Speed Underground 2, and has this to say:
"There are no shortages of street racing games on the market and what's interesting is how little the formula deviates from one game to the next. They all feature technically impressive graphics. They all feature the most popular car models. Loud alt-rock/hip-hop music from trendy bands is a must, and hot babes in skimpy outfits adorning the background are a prerequisite. Not having a particular car or feature may be seen as a weakness in light of the competition. Offering too much style and substance may come off gaudy and confused. So what separates the winners from the also-rans?
It comes down to balance and harmony of the formula elements, and the Need for Speed Underground series has been the Zen master. The sequel, Need for Speed Underground 2, continues the success of its predecessor and gets so many things right that after awhile I lost count and basked in gaming nirvana."
