6/11/2023 0 Comments Tomba ps1 racing![]() ![]() These demands are pretty straightforward and involve winning a set amount of events as well as sponsor races which pay out a lot more cash. Progressing the career mode also means meeting the requirements of various sponsors that sign up to your cause. You have to start somewhere with cars like Vauxhall’s Corsa. You are able to use a dyno and test track(s) to custom tune your car for each event, settings that are auto-loaded upon entering each style of event which does at least offer a bit more depth. These are the biggies that take place on proper race tracks and progress the game’s career mode. Finally there are the Underground Racing League events. These are more about acceleration, handling and taking the best racing lines. Race events are varied with circuit and sprint events joined by drift challenges (score more points than opponents), drag races and the new ‘Street X’ event which consists of small, tight courses that take place in car parks or (for some reason) building sites. Most circuit and sprint events use sections of the city too so getting familiarised with the many corners and shortcuts while in free-roam mode definitely helps when it comes to the races. Simply speeding about the city to different race events is enjoyable and even though the ‘free’ aspect is obviously limited by being stuck inside a car, it’s much more preferable to selecting races from a menu. But no, the visuals and those cars look a lot better than many other racers of the generation and hold up incredibly well today.ĮA added in a free-roam structure to NFSU2 as well and this really elevated it above the first game. This was a nice surprise because I admit I was expecting worse from an annual EA update, perhaps a mistaken presumption that the game would have been blasted out by the developers in time for its intended release with a lack of polish. As a petrolhead, I can safely say that all of the cars in this game are modelled highly accurately with a nice level of detail down to the correct badges and original exterior equipment. ‘Jaggies’ and outdated textures are pretty minimal and the car models are fantastic. The first thing that hit me was how goodthe game still looked. Urban cityscape and a nitrous-fuelled motion blur: welcome back to the mid 00’s. ![]() It is after all, one of the better-regarded games in the series with a bit of a following. So I was ready to give NFSU2 a chance after snagging a cheap copy in a bundle of PS2 games. Most of this has evaporated and with the constant droning message about road users needing to be responsible as well as the ‘lads mags’ being killed off (because sexism…whatever), the world feels like a more sterilised and straight place. ![]() However, I have been heavily re-involved with cars and the ‘scene’ over the last 6-7 years and in an ironic twist of fate, I now actually MISS the days of The Fast & The Furious movies, street racing culture and magazines like Max Power with topless models draped over ridiculous cars. It probably didn’t help that I eventually played the original Underground and wasn’t that impressed. It was the impression that they only slapped their name on yearly cash-cow updates, average licensed fare and software that they could sell via cynical marketing which tapped into what teenage boys of the mid 00’s wanted. There was also a stigmata associated with EA during the PS2 era if you ran in certain gaming circles. I was busier playing my intellectual JRPG’s and skillful fighting games while the masses were buying NFSU in droves. Despite always being a big car person (or ‘petrolhead’), I looked down on these games when they were current because they tapped into a street racing subculture which appeared far more glamorous in Japan or the US while here in the UK, it was associated with ‘ricers’ or ‘chavs’ building ugly, thunderous monstrosities out of Citroen Saxos or Peugeot 206’s. *****We ship on Friday at the end of the week, every week.I have a strange relationship with EA’s Need for Speed Underground games.
