Wow, this game is looking awesome! Looks heaps better than other Need for Speed titles, i cant believe how awesome it looks. It comes out on PS2, XB and GameCube if im not mistaken.

Heres some pics - http://www.gamershell.com/hellzone_Playstation_2_Need_for_Speed_Underground.shtml

And the trailer - http://eu.playstation.com/iw_images//assets/images_uk/trailers/ops2_nfsug.wmv

They're from the PS2 version which means the GC version will look even better! Will this be better than Burnout for street racing? It looks possible. Check it out. Does anyone know when this game comes out?

Hmmm, I dunno. No car damage...
I doubt it'll feature the same pressure Burnout put on the player while they screamed around the crowded streets, as crashing in this game won't have the same impact.

It does look pretty cool so far though.

Who says the developer/publisher will ensure to make it look better?  Many ports come to mind...

[Mario]

Yes well, this is EA. So far from what ive seen of EA's multiplatform games, they have been graphically better on the Cube over the Ps2. NBA Street 2, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, Nightfire and Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 all look better on GC than PS2.

Didn't Hot Pursuit 2 still have framerate issues?

[Mario]

Hot pursuit 2 was made by different development teams on all three consoles, so i shouldnt have counted that. Need for Speed Underground is made for all systems by the same developer.

Yeah, this game does look amazin! I was lookin forward to 3DO's Syndicate Street Racing but since they went down the drain I figured I would check NFS:U. Wow! I am really lookin forward to this! Plus I am a big street racer and this game looks like it could be shapin up to be a really good sim of street racing. Maybe I will get so hooked on this game thast I wont go to anymore street races and go to jail! lol.
