    "Need for Speed Underground 2" did two years ago everything this game does, but with much more style and variety. [Nov. 2006, p.124]

    Only for the truly hardcore street racing fans. It's not a good enough racer to attract the wide base of casual videogame race fans, and we can't recommend more than a rental even for the die-hard gearheads.

    Given that fans of the movie have surely long-since moved on, there is simply no reason for this game to exist. [May 2007, p.120]

Most of the cars has at least 4 - 5 bumpers minimum (not including the bodykits) Different types of cosmetics like Rim LEDs, Drift charms and neons. The car list is alright for what it is but the problem lies in the fundimentals of the game aka the physics and the handling. It's almost impossible to turn the car properly without the car starting to jump or hump the road. The car turns like it has a ton of assists on that can't cooperate with each other. Even with the driving aids off it still feels like there are some weird assists that makes the car handle on its own. I have no clue what they did to screw the handling up so badly considering they made street racing syndicate which handled fine. Very charming game but the handling is impossible to get used to.
