If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the next morning you will have a flat tire.


NFS UNDERGROUND
For the past few days, I have been hooked a lot to Need for Speed Underground. It is too good a game for me to resist.
Firstly, the graphics is just too spell bounding. The surroundings have been excellently done, and which I have been able to exquisitely experience thanx to my GeForce FX 5200. In my card, I am able to comfortably run it at 800 by 600 resolution.
Then there is something called motion blurring in the game. It blurs the surroundings as you increase speed, giving a extremely smooth effect. And when you turn on the Nitrous with the blur effect turned on, its like going into Warp Drive.
The number of cars they provide is about 20, with a lot of custom cars extra. They range from the Mitsubishi Lancer to the Honda Civic to the Mazda Miata. Each car has its own unique properties (acceleration, top speed, handling) and responds differently to the various performance mods that you can apply to it, ranging from Nitrous boost, to Suspension modifications and Tires.
Apart from these performance enhancers, there are also a lot of visual modifications too. From vinyl coatings to glowing neons on the underside of the car, they just make the car look fabolous. Wishing you could own one of these babies.
The number of tracks also amazes me. Apart from around 20 circuit tracks (where you go for 2 to 4 laps), there are also about 15 sprint tracks (in which you go from start to end). There is also the drift and drag modes, which I have not seen in any other nfs installments. You have got to try these.
The single player mode has something called the Underground Mode, which comprises of a series of 111 races combining all the gameplay modes, and gets progressively tougher as you proceed. (I have finished at present, upto 70 of these). They will provide hours of fun, gauranteed.
The multiplayer mode is what this game was designed for. From a server hosted by Electronic Arts (which markets this game), players from both PC and Playstation II can connect and experience the realistic and exciting multiplayer actions.
Ahh, what I would do now for a broadband.
What am I waiting for now, NFS Underground II, which is under development and promises more action.
