Like in last year's game, there are a handful of different race types: Circuit races are long lap-based events, sprints take you from point A to point B on a set course, drag racing lets you live your life a quarter mile at a time, and drift races rank you based on how squirrelly you can get on the track. The cars are fast, and things like turning, powersliding, and proper corning technique are easy to pick-up. But once you've done so, the racing is fun and the cars handle well.

You'll start out in some pretty slow cars, so the racing isn't very exciting until you earn enough for a full set of upgraded performance parts.

There's a menu in the garage that lets you jump to a handful of different events, but most races don't show up here, and none of the shops do, either, making it completely useless.

The game also rarely takes advantage of the open city for racing purposes, staging a majority of its events on preset tracks, rather than attempting to go for a Midnight Club-like "get there however you can" feel. In fact, let's even make it so that different sections of the city are locked away until you progress to a certain point in the career mode." In practice, driving around the city is a real drag that keeps you out of the action longer than you'd like. Someone probably sat down and said, "Well, everyone likes Grand Theft Auto, and it has an open city, so our game has to have an open city as well. On paper, this whole open-city thing sounds like an interesting idea. The game gives you an onscreen map, but shops don't show up until you've found them, and some races don't actually appear on the map, either. You'll also have to drive to different parts shops to customize your ride-in fact, you'll have to find most of the game's shops by cruising around the city, looking for the right type of colored lights. You're given free rein to drive around wherever you want, and you'll have to drive to races to drive in them. The biggest change made by this year's game is that the action now takes place in one large city. Dopey story short, you're sent off to a new town after getting ambushed by a rival racing crew, and you'll have to start from scratch with one car and a handful of races to get you going.

The effect is similar to what the Max Payne series does with its noninteractive sequences, though that game pulls it off much better than Need for Speed Underground 2 does. Need for Speed Underground 2 tries to inject a story into your career mode using static-image cutscenes that pop up before some races. Now Playing: Need for Speed Underground 2 Video Review

As the site says, "make sure to act fast because On the House specials can appear and disappear at any time."Īnd while we're yet to see Need for Speed reach the heights it did with 2005's Need for Speed Most Wanted, the 2012 version is solid There's a ton of cars to choose from, a varied number of environments to race in, and a surprisingly immersive open-world. There's no telling when EA might decide to flip the switch and make it a paid purchase though, so we suggest grabbing it as soon as possible.

In fact, even trying to claim Need for Speed Most Wanted for free now is throwing up errors, which may be due to the traffic on Origin right now. In our experience, it hasn't been the most reliable piece of software, and our attempts at playing FIFA 16 on PC only served to compound the perception. The downside though is that you'll need to use the Origin client to get it. It's one of the last decent entries in a series that's been in steady decline for years and has seen its developers change hands from the now defunct Black Box Studios to Criterion (of the Burnout fame) to Ghost Games-the studio that was responsible for last year's abysmal Need for Speed. 2012's Need for Speed Most Wanted is now free for Windows PC.
