    The Graphics are good Lighting etc. Just like the last game the gameplay gets boring. The tracks are simple no interaction, it doest feel like a city atmosphere. To unlock all the cars and tracks you have to play through the same laps or tracks over againg then get a new track etc etc slowly slowly. The most important thing is the low interaction level within the tracks. The cars can be The Graphics are good Lighting etc. Just like the last game the gameplay gets boring.

    The game has atmosphere from the fast and the furious movie. The graphics aren't that great though, especially in when looking in the distance. It's all jaggy, like you'd see in a bad ps2 game. But the game is fun, just nothing special.

    The game's incredible sense of speed, seat-of-your-soild-trousers physics, and overall production polish is second to none on Xbox. [Dec/Jan 2004, p.81]

    Combining the reckless, breakneck speed and high-impact collisions of Burnout with the neon-tipped street culture of Fast and the Furious (and, more specifically, Midnight Club II), Underground is the new definition of white-knuckle.

    A competent racer with stacks of available customisation and stacks of replay value, even without any online features. The multiplayer is solid, there’s a lot to do in single player, and you'll feel totally fashionable playing it.
