Redwood City, CA (June 17, 2004) - Electronic Arts today announced
that they have signed Brooke Burke to star in Need For Speed Underground 2.
From EA:
In Need for Speed Underground 2, Burke plays the streetwise organizer of an
elite underground racing circuit. Her character, Rachel, takes gamers under her
wing, guiding them through the game’s massive free-roaming city, helping them
become the top racer in the underground.
“I’m an absolute adrenaline junkie and car freak in real life, so starring in
Need for Speed Underground 2 is a huge thrill,” Burke said. “Need for Speed
Underground 2 really captures one of the reasons I love my cars so much –
they’re a canvas for self-expression.”
Need for Speed Underground 2 challenges gamers to immerse themselves in the
tuner culture, exploring an expansive, free-roaming city divided into five
distinct neighborhoods. Gamers will encounter rival racers who will initiate
events, tip players off to the hottest racing spots, and show them where to buy
the most sought-after licensed aftermarket upgrades.
The new game delivers complete automotive self-expression with more than 30 of
the hottest licensed turner cars and hundreds of aftermarket parts for nearly
infinite visual and performance customization combinations.
Brooke Burke is recognized worldwide for her three-year stint as the adventurous
host of E! Entertainment Television’s popular travel series, “Wild On,” as seen
in 120 countries. Now that she has completed her assignment with E!, Burke
continues to focus her attention on hosting and acting, and has landed roles in
a number of television and film projects. Her official Web site is
