Need for Speed: Underground 2 is the 8th game in the Need for Speed series and was released in 2004. It is a sequel to Need for Speed: Underground and is the first Need for Speed title to include free roam. The game is based in a fictional city known as Bayview.
Underground 2 utilises most of the customisation options featured in Need for Speed: Underground. Players can modify almost any part of their vehicle such as lights, bumpers, side mirrors, stereo equipment and Spinners. The Star Rating from Need for Speed: Underground is also used.
Performance customisation is just as comprehensive as visual tuning. Players are allowed to install various performance modifications to their vehicle. Gameplay The story begins after the player has beaten Eddie's street gang - 'The Eastsiders' in Olympic City. The player is now revered as the best street racer in Olympic City. The player is called after the final race by a bald man with an 'invitation' to join his team. The mysterious bald man on the videoscreen tells the player that he 'is not taking no for an answer.'
