Need for Speed: Underground is the quintesential night racing scene game that started my love (and hate) relationship with modded cars and underglow neon. It also shaped my music taste as a kid/teen, which I guess is not a bad thing either, because the music was generally quite good :)
The most important thing, however - the racing! The physics were alright at the time, the rubberbanding AI was frustrating, but not unbeatable (even at hard), but the visuals and the look of the cars made it all worthwhile :)
And who could forget the intro music when you land on the main menu...
My first time playing it was on GameCube, truly amazing when I was a kid and still as adult, every game that's made or distributed by EA needs to be in this preservation program, we already know they are famous by killing games and studios.
8 year old me was playing it up and down. It is childhood for me and since I cannot get my old retail game to work I would love to have it back with gog. AND: Legendary soundtrack!
NFS: Underground was my first in the series. Everyone at school was obsessed with it but I was the one beating everyone times. I remember once we started playing together was when I decided to learn how to drive. Was I safe? No. Do I blame this game? Also no, I blame 2 Fast 2 Furious for that. However, this game made me start falling in love with cars and remember wanting to tune my own car. As I was still too young to own one, I convinced my brother and he got some neon lights on his. This game brings warm memories both in game and IRL. Probably the closest I was with my brother were during those night drives.
I started playing it, it was one of the first racing games I played, I fell in love at first sight because of the many references it had to the Fast and Furious movie with that Honda Accord painted red and white It was great to see the motion blur when using the microphone, for me in those years it was impossible to acquire a game. So my visits were in an internet cafe but today since I am a As an adult I want to buy it and have it to show it to the new generations who will love it as much as I do.
Loved this title so much... I played trough a countless times. Sometimes in multiplayer too. A couple of keyboards was destroyed in the heat of the game XD The soundtrack is still blood boiling.

The game's structure is mission-based; most of the missions are dictated by the story and initiate following a cutscene that advances it.

However, in order to complete the whole chapter the player must eventually succeed in all the main missions.Open world Action Science fiction Stealth Sandbox
Burnout 2: Point of ImpactBurnout is a street racing game focused around speed and crashing. Unlike many games which focus on closed course driving, you get to drive through cities with real traffic and city infrastructure. Designers have built an entire city and surrounding areas, and implement the race courses throughput the countie's streets. As a result, many times certain parts of race-courses interlace with other parts of other races. As well, instead of encouraging strategic driving and safe driving, Burnout strongly encourages offensive driving. Driving on the wrong side of the road, barely missing passing traffic, drifting, and jumps all add to your boost "burnout" meter. Speed boosts and jumps aid your attempt to dive past buses, trucks and anything else that gets in the way. The more offensive and dangerous your driving is, the more boost you get!Action
