NFSU2: Stunning Video, Screens

Amazing media from EA's Need for Speed Underground 2, fresh from the news that Brooke Burke will be the face of the game.

Take a look at this video sequence from the recently announced Need for Speed Underground 2 - and try telling us you're not pumped.

The forthcoming racer from EA - the sequel to the original that sold over five million units - offers a vast, free-roaming city divided into five distinct neighbourhoods. Rival racers will initiate events, tip players off to the hottest racing spots, and show them where to buy the most sought-after licensed aftermarket upgrades.

But it's perhaps the scale and freedom in the city that has us in an old-fashioned racing frenzy - not to mention the positively stunniing, atmospheric and immersive visuals.

This fresh media comes following a strong E3 showing, and last week's news that the gorgeous Brooke Burke will be the face of the game. 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.

Following her deal with EA, she revealed, "I'm an absolute adrenaline junkie and car freak in real life, so starring in Need for Speed Underground 2 is a huge thrill. NFSU2 really captures one of the reasons I love my cars so much - they're a canvas for self-expression."

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 www.brookeburke.com.
