Need for Speed: Underground

Need for Speed: Underground is the 7th game in the Need for Speed series and the first after Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 to focus on street racing, influenced by the movie "Fast and Furious". Throughout the single player campaign, you unlock both visual and engine components which is key to being the fastest and most popular racer in the game. Even though there's no police, you'll be unlocking tracks but can't drive around the area freely, which is resolved in Need for Speed: Underground 2. There is also a version of the game called Need for Speed: Underground J, which is only available in Japan on the PlayStation 2.
