Providing you have a relevantly modes graphics card (Need for Speed Underground 2 is now over 10 years old), the 1.2 patch will offer you access to upgrade visuals when running the game at higher resolutions. Of course no real racing upgrade would be complete without a shiny new coat of paint. This isn't perfect, as it means you can't see the people who really have been naughty online - but it does feel more fair than punishing people due to server errors. If you have been unfairly flagged for your behavior by the game, this patch removes the visible icon that alerted players to your (unfairly?) alleged misdeeds. A new paint jobĪlso worthy of note is a fix for the game's online reputation system. Also, for players who enjoy racing in the game room, the 1.2 patch removes the need for an internet connection to host local games over LAN. You're sent to a new city where rival drivers are trying to take you off of the streets, which is why you have to prove yourself in every race that you run.First up, it improves the game’s multiplayer, optimizing online play and removing the frequent crashes many players suffered on older Windows machines (such as Windows 98 and ME). There is a story that is a part of the career if you pay attention. While this feature has always been in the game, the graphics have been updated, giving a better scene while you're behind the wheel of the car. The music in the game has been upgraded, and you can drive from a first-person point of view.

There are more paint colors and schemes to choose from as well as different rim colors. There is a bit of everything in the way of modifications with the game, such as spoilers, rims, cold air intake systems, and components to make the car faster.Īnother plus in the game is that there are more designs to choose from if you want to change the look of the car. You also win money that can be used to perform numerous modifications to your car.

Once you start winning races, you earn respect points from the other drivers. You won't have a lot of money to work with at first, but it's enough to do a few modifications to get some speed in order to win a few races. Starting in the garage, you can select a car that you like from multiple tuners that include the Honda Accord and Toyota Celica. With more cars to choose from, the game is a little more fun to play. Need for Speed Underground 2 is an extension of the original game. Race against other cars on various circuits in the city.
