The vivid world of tricked-out cars and illegal street racing tears onto the GCN in Need For Speed: Underground.

Urban street racing hits the Nintendo GameCube with EA's finely-tuned take on high performance street cars. Build your own racer by earning cash to pay for custom body kits and fully-licensed performance mods. Need for Speed: Underground delivers both drag racing and street racing courses, each set in gritty nighttime environments not regulated by any governing bodies.

Features

• Customize 20 licensed cars from Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi Motors and many more.
• Tweak your car in hundreds of ways with aftermarket parts from real-world manufacturers, including AEM Inc., Audiobahn, Bilstein, Neuspeed and more.
• Test your driving skills in over 100 unique events. Perform well to increase your rep and earn cash to spend on mods.
• A rockin' soundtrack will keep your head noddin' as you burn through the city streets.

Bottom Line

Some folks are content to drive a car as-is right off the assembly line, pop a tennis ball on their antenna and bump Neil Diamond on the eight-track. These are the people that won't appreciate Need For Speed: Underground. If you've even considered revving your engine while waiting for a stoplight to turn green, you have to take this game for a ride.
