To better facilitate the newly introduced story mode, the entire game was moved to Olympic City, a fictional night metropolis modeled on the features of Los Angeles, New York City, and San Francisco where underground racing clubs and fast police chases have become a commonplace occurrence.ĭuring the long and eventful singleplayer campaign, the players are tasked to complete in several gameplay modes, which include Circuit racing around loop tracks, Knockout mode where the last players are regularly removed from the circuit race, Sprint point-to-point racing, drifting challenges and Drag racing.

Instead of focusing only on dry racing challenges with a large variety of sport and exotic car, it introduced for the first time a fully custom made career mode that featured lavishly produced story campaign and a widely successful garage mode that allowed all gamers to collect the large car roster and dramatically customize them with the wide variety of performance and visual upgrades. While paying respect to the success that the previous games managed to achieve on PC and home consoles, this seventh release in the Need for Speed franchise managed to completely reboot the gameplay and the style of the franchise. Need for Speed Underground is an arcade racing video game developed by EA Black Box and published by Electronic Arts in late 2003.
