Need for Speed Underground 2 Revs Up
First details and screenshot on EA Games' megasequel, coming later this year.
EA today announced the sequel to last year's best selling racing game. Need for Speed Underground 2 will offer a massive, free-roaming game world, says the publisher.
The original has sold over five million untis since its release November and EA will be hoping to repeat the blockbuster success once again with Undergound 2.
Need for Speed Underground 2 will challenge gamers to immerse themselves in the tuner culture, exploring an expansive, free-roaming city divided into five distinct neighbourhoods. 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 game will feature new game modes, deep new performance customisation and tuning, and more than 30 licensed cars. The game also delivers twice the visual customisation upgrades as the original game, providing a staggering 70 billion possible car combinations for total automotive self-expression.
Need for Speed Underground 2 is currently under development by EA Canada and is scheduled for release late in 2004 for all formats.
