While from an import tuner perspective, the addition of SUVs and trucks might be "kewl," driving these beasts is an exercise in misery, sluggishness, and horrific handling. You might want to "challenge" yourself with some of these, but you may also want to throw yourself off a cliff (and you can take your Cadillac Navigator with you).
lol that made me laugh. i wonder why after all those "Passport to the undergrounds" or whatever IGN did, they bash the game in their review? o well im still pumped 4 the 15th, nothin's changin my mind

Yeah and Mercedes 350z.... ROFL

Well Ive read IGN's PC review. They give the lowest mark for sound!!!!! :? So the sound is the worst thing in the game???? If that is a professional review, then I am Osama bin Laden from the desert mountains.

Well definately the main reason is because we can't play NFSU2 online with the Nintendo GameCube. :P

Finally...they just released gamespot's review
I'm a little dissapointed if you ask me. It dropped 0.6 points from NFSU.
NFSU=8.0
NFSU2=7.4

NFSU2 Review

Post by Hate In A Box »

The game is ok... what I wanna know is who oiled the roads down, these cars dont turn worth a crap (mabie this is due or lack of performance upgrade on tires and suspention)? I found myself sliding into walls at high speed. Also, the music really sucks! Thank god they give you the option to turn the music off (like the original NFSU) so you can play your own in the background. So far those are my only gripes about the game. :twisted:
