    @@DrSpaceman69 There is a game that came out in April 15 of the same year, titled X-Men: Wolverine's Revenge for the PlayStation 2. Developed by GenePool Software and Warthog Games (the latter also responsible for Looney Tunes: Back in Action and 50 Cent: Bulletproof) under the same team as Star Trek: Invasion and 50 Cent: Bulletproof, X-Men: Wolverine's Revenge was based on the comics of the same name, featured an original story by famed comic book writer Larry Hama, and takes place in the Marvel Universe. You play as Wolverine, a man with mutant powers including admantanium claws, healing powers and hightened sense of smell. You have been implanted with a chemical which will kill you in 2 days. If you dont find the cure you will die. Basically what you will be doing in this game is fighting the enemies and clearing the path to the next level. its a standard beat 'em up but also has some gameplay features which help make the game abit more intresting and stopping it from being totally boring. When you press L2 or R2 (I cant remember which one) you go into stealth mode and the environment turns into a thermal view. With this you can see stuff that you wouldn't be able to see normally. For example if you were going across a minefield but you couldn't see where the mines were, you would switch to stealth mode and then you would see them and be able to avoid them. It also helps you to sneak around and not be caught by a guard. Another cool thing is the strike combos. When you are fighting an enemy, you can kick them and daze them. When they are dazed a word will come up on your screen saying 'strike' When this comes up you have to press circle. Wolverines will do a really good combo if you pull it off right. There are some unlockabes in the game aswell. As you progress you will unlockables such as new costumes. Overall X-Men: Wolverine's Revenge is ok if you just want a cheap thrill but if your looking for something with more depth and class then I suggest something else. I liked it and it was the 10 pounds. And was also ported to the GameCube, Xbox, and PC by GenePool Software alone for release in the same month.

    Maybe it's just nostalgia, but the graphical style of this game just somehow amazes me, even compared to modern games. Something about them just creates this unique atmosphere unmatched by any other game. I remember when I was a little kid and played this on my PS2. The inaccessible areas just looked so tempting and I remember wondering what kind of stuff were beyond the limits...

    It still looks good honestly. Slap HD textures and better reflections on this and it'd easily pass today. It just has a good aesthetic and authentically captures a busy city at night. I like Underground 1 and 2 for different reasons, but I always get frustrated with 1 and have never beaten it. I think having the open world just makes it easier to have fun in between races and encourages playing even if you have an annoying loss to deal with.

    Great review. As much as I want these old NFS games to get a re-release, they're still easy to obtain online and second hand at a reasonable price. Though getting them to work on PC all depends on what NFS game it is, as they can range to easy enough to a nightmare to set up based on their age and especially their level of copy protection. Also, could you please review the V-Rally games, since we now have a 4th one this year? I remember the second one had a level editor and track layouts similar to Moto Racer 2, which was the one I grew up with.

    Quick PSA for anyone deciding to play a new career in this game: You start with $10,000, if you for instance want the Civic, don't buy it straight away,buy the Miata for $8,500 first and trade in for a Civic right away. You see, the game takes into account the vehicle stats when trading in so if you trade your ride for a technically more powerful one it'll cost you, but if you trade it for a technically less powerful car you get A price rebate. In such case you save $1,5k since the Miata is cheaper and weirdly enough it is better stats wise than the Civic when stock so you also get more money from the trade. Cheers CSP great review of a great game.

    Need for Speed: Underground was one of my first racing games on the Playstation 2, with Burnout 3: Takedown, Juiced, and Enthusia Professional Racing. I just loved the street racing aspect of the entire game, the soundtrack was fire, and just the tracks were so memorable with remebering pretty much every turn, shortcut, and straightaways. I unfortunately sold my PS2 along with all the games I had, but it was amazing memories from the late 2000s and early 2010s for me with this game.

    I remember vividly seeing an Underground ad on TV, and for the first time (and IIRC for the only time) my dad asked me if we should go and pick it up tomorrow. Such a good game apart from the rubberbanding but I guess that's part of the charm Then later on getting Underground 2 was a no brainer, and I remember telling my dad that I wanted it and that was the first time anyone in my family ordered something online, as it was much cheaper there. Funny to think how online orders were considered pretty scary not that long ago

    I played it on PS2, Xbox 360 and PC, and I think the PS2 version is good. It had lower graphics, obviously (similar to low graphics on PC, including damage being only scratches, like in Most Wanted and Carbon), only 4 cars on track (and, because of that, no class-separated races, as it would have only two cars on each), and some cars were missing, but if you couldn't play any other version it was still pretty good. Pretty much the same.

    Actually real Drag Racing was first in Need for Speed Motor City / Motor City Online (2001). Also, the game was deep, authentic and realistic as possible into Golden age American car culture that also mean customiziation was literally you building a car just like in real life you would - Engine etc was completely spread into its single components (such as blocke, camshaft, crankshaft, valves, heads, cooling and lubrication systems and much much more) real parts with real stats were provided by real brands unlike in later NFS.

    9600GTMAN MCO always lived on in the hearts. The Single Player/Debug mode restricts the game heavily as everything was managed and controlled by server. The original debug allows you to select the cars, opponents, track, laps, direction, weather and more via the nofront.ini and car skins numbers can be taken from a separate list. Later, we created programs to make this changes easier. Also, the debug doesn't recognize the seperate segments of a track, so you will always race the complete course. I figured a work around for that however to also race the smaller segments of each track. There's so much and the world to explain it... Another note, debug loads the event straight after the Intro Movie and Loading Screen since the Front End was server managed there are no menues. Yeah, to have the cars and Content that came after the release, you need the Backup of the complete last stage of mco with all the Updates.. we have it so. Really? I mean I'm not into asian cars :D I prefer american power and european luxury cars. I gottcha, each his own ;-) Driving 2017 BMW F20 LCI :)

    The first NFS with a storyline would be Porsche Unleashed, the factory driver mode. For Underground 1, RX7 is fastest for race and drag race, while front wheel drive cars like the Civic, reward the most drift points.

    One quirk I noticed with this game on PC was the effect of the difficulty levels. They actually significantly altered the handling, easy was "on rails", hard was a dynamically slidey experience. The irony was that on later races picking easy made it really hard to win as these 180mph cars that handled like Tron light cycles meant the pace was INSANE. Choosing hard meant the cars would slew and slide and brought the pace to a manageable human level. 😆 I loved this game so much, I wonder if it's on Steam...

    Had this on the PC back in the day. Good memories, but I eventually put it down due to the traffic. As you mentioned, it's particularly frustrating on hard mode. For me it started to feel like the game engine was cheating: trying to stop you winning races by deliberately putting traffic directly in your way in situations where you have no time to react and avoid it. Maybe that's realistic, even though little else about the game is, but it's certainly not fun. Recently started playing the game again, this time on original XBOX - and it's reminded me of all the reasons I loved this game - but am running into the same issue with traffic. One other thing that disappointed me with the PC version is it had no LAN multiplayer.

    Im playing it in my old ps2 now in the pandemic. Its so awesome, yet so fucking frustrating! When you are in the 70th or 80th race event, all the flaws this game has start to become soooo much more detrimental to the gameplay than in the beginning. RWD cars tend to lost control spontaneously, even with the traction control on. Worst of all, the best cars (Supra, GTR, 350Z), of which starts only now to be unlocked, are rwd. Races become more fast, and your chances of hitting a fucking taxi greatly improve. Opponents become even more aggressive towards you. The number of laps increase ridiculously. I just only can imagine how this dramatic shift of a cool and fun gameplay to a grinding and frustrating one took its tool on kids back in the day. It certainly made me back off from the game and start to play more balanced, fun to play racing games, like burnout revenge and motorstorm. Let see if i have the nerves to finally beat this motherfucker hahah. And this music is killing me
