Video Gaming News - November 2004
Redwood City, CA (November 15, 2004) - Electronic Arts today announced
that Need for Speed Underground 2 has shipped to retail stores nationwide for
the PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, and PC.
From EA:
The sequel to last year’s run-away hit which sold over 8 million copies
worldwide, Need for Speed Underground 2 features a massive, free-roaming game
world where players can immerse themselves in the tuner culture as they race
through more than 125 miles of open road.
True to the tuner culture, players can enhance their rides with an unprecedented
70 billion possible car combinations, including deep performance tuning, to
create the ultimate street racer. Players can cruise through the streets in
style with hundreds of new visual upgrades such as hydraulics, spinner rims, and
scissor doors and hoods. As gamers explore the city’s five distinct
interconnected neighborhoods, they’ll encounter rival street races that can
erupt any time, anywhere, or put their skills to the test by entering the
hottest competitions in town. With new gameplay modes including StreetX,
Downhill Drift and the Underground Racing League, as well as online* play for
Xbox Live, the PlayStation 2 console and PC, players will need more than just
style to prevail.
Upon entering the world of the underground, players will instantly be introduced
to Brooke Burke, former-host of E! Entertainment Television’s popular travel
series, “Wild On.” Burke plays the streetwise organizer of an elite underground
circuit as she guides players to become the top racers on the streets.
On the way to racing glory, Need for Speed Underground 2 players will be able to
hear Snoop Dogg’s unforgettable remix of The Doors’ legendary rock song, ‘Riders
On The Storm’ – an exclusive track that can only be heard in the game. The beats
keep pumping as players turn up the music with 27 hit songs from renowned
artists such as Chingy, Mudvayne, Terror Squad, Xzibit and Queens of the Stone
Age.
