    Forever changed the racing genre and stood up the test of time. The only flaw this game has is that it eventually ends. Love from the first sight.

    Imagine that one day you wake up and see this title. We were not aware what was coming to us. Starter of the golden era for Need For Speed. Wish I can turn back time to that days.

    Clasicazo donde los haya, salió en una época donde salían las primeras pelis de Fast and furious, y encajó muy bien en la época. En resumen, super divertido juego de conducción.

    One of the best games of the legendary series.
    In this game, it's not about winning, it's about winning in style! The game is noticeably different from the previous parts of the series in terms of setting and style. And I want to pay attention to the soundtrack, the music in this game is legendary and cool. Also, in this game there is a "Career" mode, where the plot is there for a tick,    One of the best games of the legendary series.

    At the expense of cards, everything here is monotonous. (And this is probably one minus).
    For 2003, this was a revolutionary arcade racing game!    … Expand

    Pretty simple game. You race, you win cash, you buy new car, the way game works is actually challenging (In a good meaning). Game is not about destruction like in flatout but its still worth playing.
    back in the days EA used to be a cool company.

    Одна из любимейших игр в НСГ, про "андерграунд" знали все, в те времена был Пенёк 3 и какая то видяха, которая тянула данную игру лишь на минимальных-средних, на максимальных настройках графики игра сильно тормозила.

    Сама игра классная, атмосферная, перепроходил раз 10-15, и возможно пройду ещё раз...

    Что мы имеем по итогу спустя много лет... ну Need for speed 2015 попытался вернуть атмосферу тех лет... К слову мне понравился NFS_2015 по атмосфере... Но пока не один из NFS не переплюнул NFS Underground 1 - 2, Most Wanted(2005) ну Carbon за ночные заезды и аля Touge заезды с боссами

    Хочу заметить, отсутствие открытого мира никого не смущала!

    Жаль нельзя посчитать часы которые я потратил на Underground, но скорее всего это 240-280 часов

    This game is definitely in my top 5 NFS games. For me though, it was the first game which gave so much freedom in how you wanted to customize your car. I like the tracks, the cars, the setting, the racing modes. The only thing I don't like about this game is rubberbanding other than that it is a solid 9/10 game!

    Игра отличная, атмосфера динамичная, музыка супер. Однако из минусов хочется выделить скованные гонки по городу и их ^коридорность^, а также повторяющийся маршрут. В целом это один из наилучших проектов серии Need For Speed. Обязательно советую всем для прохождения.Игра отличная, атмосфера динамичная, музыка супер.

    One of the best arcade racers out there. This game still holds a very good spot today. It has ages very well. Only problem with this game is the weird NPC AI. They are trying their best to make you crash. You can witness this by playing a drag race on hard.

    Think this is not nostalgia. This game was amazing. I know the tuning for this game is a ricer, but, arcade style and game-play was good. Not to forget about music.

    Não vejo necessidade em escrever um longo texto analisando uma arte, a nota é apenas um conselho para saber o quanto ela vale para sua vida.

    Racing doesn't get much better...unless you're in a real car. [Mar 2004, p.75]

    With just a bit more variety to its tracks and a slightly better career mode, it definitely could have been better, but it has great graphics, solid sound, and the sort of easy learning curve that makes it a driving game that anyone can excel at.

    That break-the-mold game that longtime players of the franchise have been waiting for. And if you're already a street-rag reader, you have permission and reason to drool - just keep it off the AirFlow controller, please.
