JP0. 2 0. 5Need for Speed Underground is the 7th game in the Need for Speed series. It was developed by EA Black Box and published by Electronic Arts in 2. It was commercially successful1 and inspired a sequel. Need for Speed Underground completely redesigned the series formula with a heavy emphasis on tuner culture and a storyline driven career mode. All races take place in a generic city at night featuring vehicles associated with the import scene rather than exotic cars. Career. Plot. The story begins with the player at the centre of the action in a circuit race. They are given a uniquely styled Acura Integra Type R that allows them to easily defeat their opponents but they are suddenly woken up by Samantha who tells them to stop daydreaming. Samantha is the players friend in the city. She shows the player how the console with the races works, whos who and makes fun of the players first car. Eddie is the leader of The Eastsiders and currently the best racer on the streets of Olympic City, he also has a girlfriend Melissa. The player meets other racers and eventually gathers a small list of nemesis that continually challenge them. The player is introduced to TJ whom promises unique vehicle upgrades in exchange for beating time trial challenges. Samantha does the same from time to time and offers unique visual modifications instead. The players successive victories dont impress Eddie. He mocks the players skill saying he has a long way to go to roll his streets. The player eventually builds enough hype to be too hard to ignore and forces Eddie to challenge them to beat Samantha in a sprint race before they can go after Eddie. The players willingness in going for it infuriates her. Samantha totals her Civics engine attempting to beat the player. TJ takes the junked car for himself after the event. Eddie tries to once again get rid of the player as they come close to becoming the best racer in Olympic City. The player also sees TJ in Samanthas recovered car after he fixed it but it has been vandalised. The player wins a pink slip circuit race for Samantha and gives her the car to make amends. Samantha gives the player a choice of a wide body kit for their car. Eddie then challenges the player to a race. After the race a mysterious silver Nissan 3. Z challenges the player for a last run through the Market Street circuit. After the players win, the challenger is revealed to be Melissa. That event solidifies the players status as the new best underground racer in Olympic City. Characters. Protagonists. Antagonists. Other. Gameplay. Circuit A standard race that involves racing of up to four opponents cars around a looped track for one or more laps. Knockout Similar to Circuit except the last racer to pass the starting line of each lap is knocked out until a final racer is left and declared the winner. Sprint A point to point course instead of a loop. These races are typically shorter than Circuit events. Drift A point based event involving multiple racers but with only a single racer participating on the course at a time. The winner is the racer with the highest total score upon completing the course. Racers earn points based on how well they can control their vehicles as they slide along the course.
