I've played many racing games throughout my time gaming but none have stuck in my head like NFSU2 has. When i think of any racing game this is the first game that comes to my mind. What made this game so outstanding to me was the customization and the way the game makes you feel as if you are part of this world. I was able to start out with the basic cars and slowly work my way up to more exotic racing cars but i chose not too. The level of customization in this game was ridiculously good. As a matter of fact, my car of choice was the nissan 240sx which was the very first car i decided to pick in this game. I was able to customize it to the point where it was indeed the fastest car.

The graphics at the time in 2004 was amazing, extremely detailed with great lightning and textures. The sound effects were all intense making you feel exhilarated while racing and the soundtrack itself was one to remember always. I still remember one of the band names Shinobi vs Ninja Dragon, awesome song, forgot the title. But i digress, this game looks and feels real. The underground racing scene was truly what i was into at the time and it did a very good job in making you feel like a brand new racer ready to challenge and take on the underground racing world and work you way to the top.

Overall, there arent many bad things i can say about the game except that i wish there was a good storyline to it. There were plenty of races to play in and many different game modes to participate in as well though there was no compelling story except making you feel as if you have to win every race in order to become the best in the city. I especially loved the open world roaming that it allowed you to be part of. The customization and the open world setting is quite honestly the biggest selling points to me about this game in particular. Add all that with great graphics, plenty of cars, and exciting fast paced memorable races and you got the makings of one incredible ride.
