Is it still worth playing?
EA Black Box's 2004 racing game, a direct sequel to Need for Speed: Underground. Race types include circuit, sprint, drift, drag, Street X, URL tournaments and outrun, across five stages, with a World Map to move between them. Visual and performance tuning is extensive, including dyno tuning, mostly on Japanese tuner cars, and nitrous refills through style points. It came out for Windows, PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube and handhelds. It was the first game in the series with an open world, the city of Bayview. An open city to drive between races, and tuning deep enough to include a dyno, still give it a shape of its own today.
