In today's video, we'll be looking back on "Need for Speed: Underground" 20 years after it first released.
Embark on a thrilling journey through time as we commemorate the 20th anniversary of the gaming masterpiece, "Need for Speed Underground." (NFSU) This groundbreaking title, released two decades ago, revolutionized the racing genre by introducing us to the exhilarating world of underground street racing. Immerse yourself in the neon-soaked cityscapes, where every turn is a challenge and every race is a chance to dominate the streets. "Need for Speed Underground" wasn't just a game; it was an experience that allowed players to customize their rides to the fullest extent. From sleek imports to muscular American classics, the game boasted a diverse array of car types, offering players the chance to modify and personalize their vehicles with an unprecedented level of detail. Tuners, exotics, and muscle cars roared through the urban landscapes, each with its unique style and performance characteristics. As we delve into the memories of this iconic game, let's not forget the pulse-pounding soundtrack that fueled our virtual street races. The game featured a stellar lineup of tracks that perfectly complemented the high-octane action. From the heavy beats of The Crystal Method's "Born Too Slow" to the electrifying vibes of Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz's "Get Low," the soundtrack was a crucial part of the immersive experience, enhancing the adrenaline rush with every race. So, buckle up in your souped-up ride, relive the intensity of drag races and drift challenges, and groove to the beats that defined an era. "Need for Speed Underground" remains a symbol of gaming excellence, and this video is a tribute to the cars, the tunes, and the memories that have left an indelible mark on the hearts of gamers worldwide. Happy 20th anniversary to a game that not only set the streets on fire but also ignited a passion for racing that continues to burn brightly today!

I dont think think there’s a single game menu that hits as hard as NFSU. Having the game boot up to “BADADUMDUMDUM” with the car rolling down the tunnel in the slightly tilted show off angle was so damn tough.

I might get crucified for saying this but I prefer the soundtrack from Underground 2 over the original. Queens of the Stone Age, Unwritten Law, I'm not even a fan of Rise Against but I like their song on that soundtrack too.

Man the memories from this game… my uncle owned a car dealership at the time that I’d go to every day after school and my cousins, dad, uncles, & me were always grinding this game and customizing cars. The soundtrack was so lit starting from the opening song that used to be an adrenaline rush. Underground 2 took all the great from the 1st game and added to it!

This is my first game I've ever played back in 2004. My childhood was a ricer and those damn event 95 and 103 really gives me trouble back in the day unless just downgrade your car to stock.

I’m just waiting on the day where NFS goes full Fast and the Furious. They tried it with Payback but if they can manage how over the top F&F is, it could revive the series for sure. F&F movies are dumb but they’d make for great video games

I was joking 😅 people used to get made fun of for slapping random decals all over their cars but not actually doing any performance upgrades, it was a riff on that.

The best nfs ever made till this day, the best car handling physics, straight to the point races, driving tracks are the best ones as well, 3 game-modes - drifting made in this game is better than anywhere else. Modern nfs can't even have drifting physics due to frostbite engine they've been built on, basically I just play them for 30 minutes and never come back again / refund, because you can't play this trash after trying u1,u2. A big step back and who would have throught that EA blackbox would make a game so great it will remain the best one after 20 years, new developers don't even understand how to make car handling good.
